Bankless hasn’t had the most coverage of Solana, the network, and SOL, the asset, but in this episode that changes. Our guest, Austin Federa is Head of Strategy at the Solana Foundation and is the host of the Validated podcast.
David was recently a guest on Austin’s podcast where they went back and forth on some of the cultural and philosophical differences between the Solana and Ethereum projects. Today is a continuation of that episode.
Despite some differences in community perspectives, Austin brings a fresh perspective on the design philosophy that relates Solana the network to SOL the asset and so much more.

Ethereum is Punk | Green Pill #62
This is the third and final episode in a three-part series about the concept of Punk. What is it, and what kind of punk best maps to Ethereum as an ecosystem?
In this episode, we show a talk that Kevin gave at Devcon Bogota in 2022, which walks through Cypherpunk, Solarpunk, Lunarpunk, and Terrapunk. Ultimately, Ethereum is the punk that we make of it.
Take the green pill anon.

35 - Designing Ethereum | Vitalik Buterin
With Ethereum 2.0 on the horizon, we bring Vitalik Buterin back onto the podcast to discuss the 'why' behind many of the design choices of Ethereum 2.0
Why Proof of Stake? Why Sharding?
What political values is Ethereum going for and how does that constrain the design space?
We also go over what has been discovered and added between the 2015 launch of Ethereum 1.x, and where we are now, such as
- EIP1559
- Rollups
as well as Vitaliks view of a 'rollup centric Ethereum'
We also discuss the process going getting Ethereum 1 onboarded into Ethereum 2.0, as well as a rollup-round where we ask some quick questions!
'Rollup Centric Ethereum' blog post:
