Staking Quiz

Transcript

Hello. Hi everyone. My name is Nolan Ross. And I'm Jonathan Meyer. One of the East Staker core members. So today we are doing a little Kahoot quiz, just some Ethereum trivia, mostly staking, but also some silly questions.

I encourage everyone to participate. This is always really fun. Um just go to kahoot.it enter in the game pin. You don't need to make an account. You don't need to download an app. It's pretty painless and frictionless. And this is all covering Justin and Jerome's talk. So if you listen to closely to both of those Yeah. You get 100%. No. >> [laughter] >> Um I don't know. We got a few people in. I think are we live streaming this? We are right?

>> It's on it's on YouTube. Okay, if you're watching on YouTube, you can also play too. There'll be a little bit of a delay. So you won't get the most points, but uh you can still play. Um also one thing to note is that the faster you answer, the more points you get. So whenever we do these, there's always a bunch of super smart people that get every question right. So it's important to be quick. All right. Um is anyone still in the room joining up, or are we pretty good to go? Ken, you're working on it?

>> All right, we looking good? 15 seems good. All right, let's roll. In Ethereum proof of stake, time is divided into 12-second windows. What is this 12-second window called? These feel like softball questions to start. >> We're starting easy. I'm where? Oh, I'm in there. You guys got to see. Um so slot, period, length or era.

Oh, if I stand right there. Ah. Yeah, you can different different seat. Okay. Almost everyone got that. Who next? Let's see. Uh speed. Classic Buddha. He saw all the questions. He's cheating. Just usual. What are 32 slots called? You've got a block, a clump, an epoch, or an era.

Could be clump. >> [laughter] >> We need like Jeopardy music in the in between time. >> Yeah, next time. Okay, Buddha, Marius coming up. What was the consensus layer called previously? They're getting harder. Eth1 Eth2 Sepolia or the execution layer.

My mom, I didn't know she knew so much about crypto. >> What is the function used for by Ethereum for its aggregate signatures, allowing thousands of validators to sign a block? It was just mentioned. ECDSA, BLS signatures, Schnorr signatures, or RSA-2048.

And this is now, not in the future. I should be clear. BLS signatures. >> Hey, wow. You guys nailed it. Everyone got it. Alrog answer streak of five. Who would you have seen around if you went to ECC7? Ooh, it's hot. Oh. >> Was it Archie, Pepe Le Pew, Tintin or Saget?

They're not quite all staking questions. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> See, most people know it's Tintin. He's the Belgian cartoon character. There's murals of them all over the city. Let's see. Ooh, that one shook it up. >> Whoa. Ken's coming in. All right, sorry guys. My bad. Finality in Ethereum proof of stake is achieved when an epoch receives votes from what percentage of the total active staked ETH?

33%, 50%, 66%, or 90%? >> [laughter] >> I think custom field. Oh. Nice. Okay, that was that was that was that was a relatively easy one. Here we go. Okay, not too much. What does a director want to leave Cannes with? Grand Jury Prize, Palm d'Or, Grand Prix, or the Golden Lion?

Nickso, eight in a row. Which consensus client currently the most popular? Prism, Lighthouse, Teku, or Nimbus? >> [laughter] [laughter] >> Yeah, this was partly as a result of our client diversity push. We've kind of gone swung all the way around.
