Over the last two years the PBS landscape has evolved dramatically: we’ve seen massive consolidation both at the builder and the relay level. A lot of this is from order flow concentration, but we’re increasingly seeing the impact of latency minimization. collective.flashbots.net/t/the-block-au…

There is near-infinite demand for USD in China. The yuan is under severe pressure—and it could spiral if +100% tariffs hit tonight. Ethereum hosts 80%+ of all stablecoins—permissionless USD rails at global scale. This is exactly why Ethereum was built.

Beaverbuild is retiring their centralized block builder to work full time on BuilderNet.

Excited to present Relay Block Merging (rBM), a joint exploration with the Gattaca team- rBM increases block value by offsetting exclusive flow and timing games: → Higher revenue for proposers and builders. → Higher staking rewards. → Sustainable income for relays. It

1/ After 2 years at EigenLayer, I'm parting ways to explore something new. I saw a rare 0→1 cycle: academic team of 10 to 120+. From ~$0 to at its peak, $20B in deposits. Will start a Substack to share my upcoming journey & learnings. Part 1: How to spot unicorns early 🧵

Some exciting news. We just launched Treasury and are running to become europe's largest bitcoin treasury company 🇪🇺 Tyler Winklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss are backing big with Winklevoss Capital, and so is @davidfbailey's Nakamoto, bringing initial raise to $147m So why Europe? let's unpack 👇

ultra sound is looking to grow the team. looking for high autonomy, ownership, quality builders. expect to write rust.

Last but not least, Alex opened up discussions on whether to remove trustless payments from ePBS. Builders, relays, client devs, and researchers discussed the topic for ~45 minutes. No decision was made at this breakout call. We agreed to review the arguments from both sides and

there is a big debate about splitting the epbs upgrade for Ethereum’s upcoming glamsterdam fork. i am in favor of splitting it. i have not had time to write a full explanation of how the mechanism works, what changes are being proposed, and why i dislike some of them. for now i

We need a good trustless onchain gas futures market. (Like, a prediction market on the BASEFEE) I've heard people ask: "today fees are low, but what about in 2 years? You say they'll stay low because of increasing gaslimit from BAL + ePBS + later ZK-EVM, but do I believe you?"

vitalik.eth Difficult to do as a classic prediction (ie derivative) market due to manipulation risk (eg validators building empty blocks). Doable as a delivered futures market for Blockspace with a secondary, which is sufficient for public price discovery + hedging. The validator

Ethereum produces the highest-grade blockspace on the planet today. PBS has been criticised a lot, but it’s actually done a great job alleviating centralisation pressure on the core protocol. The job isn’t done yet though, let’s keep pushing the status quo forward 🫡 Post
