Enjoyed our podcast? Shoot us a text and let us know—because great conversations never end at the last word!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 termsHow this direction differs from previous upgradesWhere development stands today and what milestones come nextThe challenges and unknowns the engineering team is navigatingWho benefits most from Tezos X — users, developers, or bothWhat latency means in everyday usageHow instant confirmation changes the feel of payments, games, and appsThe difference between perceived speed and actual finalityWhat kinds of applications become more realistic as confirmation times dropHow latency improvements connect back into the broader Tezos X visionWhat Yann is personally curious to see once these pieces are fully in place
