"It's Time to Get Aggressive" - Tim Beiko on Ethereum's Roadmap

We’re joined by Tim Beiko, Ethereum Foundation coordinator, to break down Ethereum’s next major upgrades and the future of scaling.

Tim also shares insights on Fusaka and Glacier Dam, Ethereum’s roadmap for scaling, and how Ethereum’s upgrade process is becoming more efficient.
