I put together an amendment to EIP-7732 which removes optionality but preserves the pipelining benefits of the original 7732 design. Article link explaining the amendment below 👇

We drop pre-merge history, which saves ~320 GB on the Ethereum node. With live historical pruning, you no longer need to resync the node to achieve this. Dropping post-merge history is next. There’s still around 500 GB of history on your node.

clearly the ethereum commmunity has voted ethereum dont need r1 and the refund process will begin in 4 days.

1/ This is a Base node running on an ARM64 board. - 1 op @nethermindeth client - 1 op node client Snap synced, it runs the Optimism stack on 1 node connected to an external L1 node (Rock 5B). - HW: OrangePi 5 32 GB RAM+CTP3 4TB - Sync time: 14h (1st phase) - DB size: 2 TB

Blocks are big & monolithic: they must be fully downloaded + decompressed before execution, making validation sequential & latency-heavy. My latest post explores Payload Chunking - splitting blocks into parallelizable chunks for streaming validation. 🔗 ethresear.ch/t/23008

The most robust Ethereum client just got faster and easier to use. What’s inside v1.33.0: · New UI for real-time visibility · Experimental pruning for disk growth · Stronger OP Stack peering · Major performance gains 📖 Blog: nethermind.io/blog/nethermin… 💻Release notes:

Few realize this. #ethereum will become ulta sound money MAX :p jokes aside, fusaka fork also increases the burn by increasing the blob basefee that gets fully burnt 🔥

Based #ethereum

Meet Ben {chmark} Adams ⟠ , the third most prolific contributor to the Nethermind codebase. This is his story about how he became an #Ethereum core developer.

EIP-2780 eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2780 with 1.5sec slots and 450MGas blocks (300MGas/s) would take Ethereum to 50k tps for ETH transfers; while staying within block size limit (10MiB/8MiB EL) Using 54Mbit/s bandwidth (only for blocks, not including blobs and tx gossip etc)

The Nethermind UI is just 😍 #ethereum

The Nethermind Client is on the path to ZK-readiness. 🚀 We’ve already shipped execution witness, stateless replay, minimal binaries, and RISC-V64 compilation. 📝Blog: nethermind.io/blog/road-to-z…

The Preconfirmation SoK is ready! Everything you needed to know about preconfs, but you were too afraid to ask. The SoK provides a formality & taxonomy to a crucial blockchain subject Edits & additions are encouraged through PRs - we'll check Github regularly Link below👇

Yooo this is such a cool EIP by smartprogrammer.eth 🦇🔊 and Marc Harvey-Hill bringing conditional transactions based on a (slot,index) pair Big plus for encrypted mempools and good mev

Ethereum’s December upgrade expands L1 throughput, improves proposer logic, and stabilizes blob economics. The team at Nethermind implemented and co-authored several execution-layer EIPs that define it, from gas accounting to block size limits. ⬇️ x.com/ben_a_adams/st…

My thoughts about the Relay, one of the most used (and - IMO - bad) protocols for interop and why I think the Ethereum community should make a strong stance against such designs ⚠️⚠️⚠️ 🧵

With some recent controversies around different entities I did some reflecting and have to say that throughout the years Nethermind as a company have stayed extremely aligned with Ethereum and I'm confident it will not change in the future.

EIP Spotlight: EIP-7642 (eth/69) – history expiry and simpler receipts. Co-authored by Nethermind Core developer Ahmad Bitar (@smartprogrammer), this EIP simplifies Ethereum’s networking protocol and removes 530 GB of redundant sync data, making nodes faster and lighter ahead of
