In this week's episode, Anna Rose (https://twitter.com/annarrose) and Kobi Gurkan (https://twitter.com/kobigurk) chat with Carl (https://twitter.com/carlbeek) and Trent (https://twitter.com/trent_vanepps) from the Ethereum Foundation (https://ethereum.org/en/foundation/), covering many topics such as their work on the KZG Ceremony and how this is different from the previous trusted setups we have covered. The group takes a deep dive into trusted setups, discussing what they are for, how they have been run and how the setup is going so far. They also discuss Proto-Danksharding and EIP-4844 - a novel way to organize data logistics for Ethereum.
