INTERVIEW: The EIP That Destroys DeFi | Stani Kulechov & Mike Silagadze Ethereum’s latest staking proposal is sparking backlash across DeFi. @aave founder @StaniKulechov and @ether_fi CEO @MikeSilagadze join @TrustlessState to break down why stake tapering could push $ETH yield toward zero, weaken solo staking, drive capital out of DeFi, and make ETH less attractive to institutions. They debate Ethereum’s monetary policy, whether the network is overpaying for security, and why trying to make ETH more like Bitcoin could undermine what makes Ethereum valuable in the first place.

InterLink shipped post-quantum security. The Seoul Private Mainnet runs post-quantum signatures at the protocol level, per @inter_link's launch announcement. Most chains are still publishing roadmaps for this. It sits alongside the human node model, where ITLG staking under DAO Proposal #16# converts into ITL and node operators earn for securing the network. A verification chain that assumes quantum computers arrive. $ITL
