Ether.fi CEO Mike Silagadze joins as a Guest Host to discuss the controversies and issues surrounding the Starknet airdrop, the phased rollout of Soroban smart contracts on the Stellar blockchain and the concept of liquid restaking incentives and rewards.
This episode is sponsored by the Stellar Community Fund
Follow the show here for more.
In this installment of "The Protocol," hosts Brad Keoun, the founding editor of The Protocol Newsletter, and tech journalists Sam Kessler and Margaux Nijkerk, explore the following stories:
Starknet Airdrop Coverage
Starknet Token STRK begins trading at $5 after a mammoth airdrop. A Fully diluted value of STRK reached as high as $50 billion with an initial market cap of $3.64 billion.
Stellar Starts 'Soroban' Smart Contracts
The "Protocol 20" upgrade, which adds support for Ethereum-style smart contracts to the decade-old payments-focused blockchain, had been delayed by three weeks due to precautions after a bug was found.
Liquid Restaking Landscape
New liquid restaking platforms like Puffer and Ether.Fi have attracted billions of dollars in deposits, but they've birthed a speculative "points" frenzy that carries some risks.
PROTOCOL VILLAGE GUEST HOST |
Mike Silagadze, CEO and Founder at Ether.fi - the first ETH staking protocol that allows stakers to maintain full control of their keys throughout the entire staking process, making it the only truly decentralized liquid staking platform.
Takeaways |
- Controversies and issues often arise with airdrops, including eligibility criteria and token unlocks.
-The introduction of smart contracts on established blockchains can rejuvenate the ecosystem and attract new users.
-Liquid restaking is a natural extension of proof-of-stake blockchains and allows users to stake their assets while maintaining liquidity.
-Points in liquid restaking protocols have sparked speculation and trading frenzy, but their future value is uncertain.
-The explosive growth in the liquid restaking market may experience a correction in the future. The money printer being turned on again has led to a speculative frenzy in various markets, including crypto.
-Restaking has become a focal point of speculation and value creation in the crypto space.
-EtherFi aims to become a trusted brand for holding ETH and accessing DeFi, with plans to roll out integrated products over time.

Serious Inquiries Only - SIO428: Regret After Gender-Affirming Surgery Is Virtually Nonexistent
Dr. Harry Barbee out of Johns Hopkins University recently co-authored a meta-analysis in JAMA Surgery, examining postoperative regret for those people seeking gender-affirming care. We talk about how many people *actually* regret receiving surgery, how that compares with general postoperative regret in the cisgender population, the politics and misinformation influencing the bad science in this area of study, and what we can do about it. Another piece by Dr. Barbee advocating for sanctuary locations for gender-affirming care: Transgender Youths and Sanctuaries for Gender-Affirming Care Are you an expert in something and want to be on the show?

Consider This from NPR - Boredom Followed By Unexpected Tragedy: A Ukrainian Soldier’s Life At War
Quote – "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride." That statement, from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the U-S Embassy, came two days after Russian missiles began raining down on his country two years ago.
After weeks of speculation and warnings Russian President Vladimir Putin had declared war.
Fueled by grit, patriotism and billions of dollars from the US, Ukraine has waged a fight no one expected they could. But nearly two years in that could be changing.
US aid is stuck in Congress. This week, Russian forces captured their first city in 9 months. And that plea Zelensky made for ammunition in February 2022 – he's still making it.
Ukraine has waged a war against Russia that has exceeded expectations. Can it continue to stand up to Russia if western aid doesn't come through?
We get the view from the battlefield from a Ukrainian writer turned soldier.
