In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we’re talking to Eleni Steinman. She's the head of strategy and operations at bloXroute Labs, and she’s here to break down some of the more technical blockchain concepts in easy-to-understand terms.

We talk about transactions on the blockchain and how they get there, along with how gas fees work and how they are calculated. Eleni tells us about the EIP 1559 update and what it means for ETH fees, and also how ETH inflation impacts gas fees.

Eleni explains the current scalability challenges involved with Ethereum, and we dive into some of the different types of solutions available, like layer-one and layer-two, how these work, their benefits, and drawbacks.

We discuss ETH 2.0 and how it benefits users. We also talk about bloXroute, the work they’re doing, and the products they offer. Finally, we discuss women in crypto and how the community can do more to welcome women.
