This week on TezTalks Radio, host Brandon Langston speaks with Yann Régis-Gianas, Head of Engineering at Nomadic Labs, about what Tezos X is — and more importantly, what it changes for the people actually using Tezos.

Rather than focusing on abstract architecture, this conversation centers on experience. What does latency really mean? What is instant confirmation in practical terms? And when these pieces come together, how different does Tezos feel?

🔍 In this episode, we explore:

• What Tezos X is and how Yann explains it in simple terms
• How this direction differs from previous upgrades
• Where development stands today and what milestones come next
• The challenges and unknowns the engineering team is navigating
• Who benefits most from Tezos X — users, developers, or both
• What latency means in everyday usage
• How instant confirmation changes the feel of payments, games, and apps
• The difference between perceived speed and actual finality
• What kinds of applications become more realistic as confirmation times drop
• How latency improvements connect back into the broader Tezos X vision
• What Yann is personally curious to see once these pieces are fully in place

This week on TezTalks Radio, host Brandon Langston is joined by Thomas Letan for a grounded conversation about what it actually means for Tezos to feel like one product.

Rather than starting with promises or roadmaps, this episode begins with a real moment: a failed FA token deposit just hours after an Etherlink upgrade went live. From there, Thomas walks through how reliability is tested when things break, what it takes to fix issues transparently, and how trust is rebuilt at the user level.

The conversation then shifts to speed, not benchmarks, but the kind of immediacy users feel when apps respond instantly. With Instant Confirmations, Tezos moves closer to real-time experiences, opening the door for new kinds of applications that simply could not exist before.

🔍 In this episode, we explore:

• What a real failure looks like from a user’s point of view
• How Etherlink 6.1 fixed a regression without leaving users stuck
• Why “funds are safe” has to mean something operational, not rhetorical
• What reliability really means when mainnet behaves differently than tests
• How Instant Confirmations change what apps can do in real time
• Why under-50ms feedback matters for trading, gaming, and live UX
• What “commitment” means when a sequencer says a transaction is in
• How first-come-first-served ordering creates predictable user experience
• What developers gain without having to rewrite their apps
• How Tezos X aims to remove mental overhead for users who just want things to work
• What end users should actually notice as Tezos starts to feel whole

This week on TezTalks Radio, host Brandon Langston is joined by Islam, Community Manager at Trilitech, for a thoughtful conversation about responsibility, judgment, and the emotional reality of working closely with people.

Before entering the Tezos ecosystem, Islam seriously considered a career in medicine. That interest in care, responsibility, and human impact never disappeared. It simply found a different place to live. In this episode, we explore how those values translate into community work, where decisions matter, clarity is essential, and there is rarely a script to follow.

Our guest is Islam, a community manager at Trilitech whose work sits at the intersection of people, communication, and responsibility across the Tezos ecosystem.

In this episode, we explore:

• What drew Islam toward medicine and what stayed with him after choosing a different path
• How responsibility shows up in community roles without formal authority
• The parallels between medical clarity and careful communication
• How judgment is formed when rules alone are not enough
• What community experiments reveal, even when they fall short
• The emotional weight of working closely with people at scale
• Lessons drawn from long-term loyalty and expectation
• What good engagement actually looks like from the community side
• One misconception about community-facing roles that causes the most friction
• What Islam hopes his work contributes to over time, beyond metrics
