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
