We’re joined by Alexey Akhunov, an independent Ethereum researcher. Alexey has been working on an ambitious project called TurboGeth. As the name implies, it is a version of Geth which features a number of speed and performance optimizations. Alexey also leads the state rent working group of the Ethereum 1.x project. Ethereum 1.x came out of Devcon when core developers began to realize that the full migration to Serenity would likely take several years. The team hopes to bring progressive improvements to Ethereum in parallel to the development of Serenity. Topics covered in this episode:  Alexey’s background as a computer scientist The story behind TurboGeth and how it differs from the original Geth client The speed and performance optimizations of TurboGeth, as well as its trade-offs What is Ethereum 1.x in the context of Ethereum 2.0 (Serenity) Which people and projects are part of Ethereum 1.x What is state rent and why it may be beneficial to Ethereum Implementing state rent in Ethereum 1.x and 2.0 eWASM and how it can be introduced in Ethereum 1.x and 2.0 The future of Ethereum and the progress towards Serenity  Episode links:  Alexey Akhunov on Medium TurboGeth talk at Bevcon4 Ethereum State rent for Eth 1.x pre-EIP Ethereum state rent - rough proposal State Rent proposal version 2 (rushed) Ethereum state rent proposal 2 ETH Roadmap AMA EthCC EthCC Epicenter Meeup  Thank you to our sponsors for their support:  Deploy enterprise-ready consortium blockchain networks that scale in just a few clicks.
