Somewhat outside the discussion of EOF in Pectra, love to get more input from L2 teams on this (and in general moving forward)

Vitalik's recent post generated a lot of thoughtful dialogue and disagreement. Great to see more nuanced discussion. But imo some of the disagreement slightly mistook the main points, or only works with a certain amount of nihilism 😅 Here's a summary below of his post if

Here are slides from the Inclusion List session during the block construction workshop, and the main discussions we ended having focused on ways to design against centralizing forces. docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Multi proposer has a lot of compelling arguments, but my biggest concern is merging txns with a deterministic rule would lead to spam. Particularly with backruns. If you sort txns by gas price, followed by something like hash for ties, then you get a situation like way back in

Notes from this week’s Verkle Implementers Call: notes.ethereum.org/@rudolf/vic-no…… Follow along for the latest work on scaling Ethereum through statelessness 🫡 (Bonus thread for those looking to learn why statelessness is a valuable goal in the first place: x.com/dankrad/status…)

good intro on multi proposers.. Also recommend reading up on FOCIL (Fork-Choice enforced Inclusion Lists) by soispoke.eth Julian Francesco barnabe.eth Summary of FOCIL in separate thread here: x.com/soispoke/statu…

Proposed EIP-7748 is now merged. I hope it clarifies how the current strategy for the state conversion would work :) eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7748

Applications for the Protocol Guild Generalist position are still open! ⭐ work includes scaling a funding mechanism for 180 EVM + Ethereum L1 maintainers apply here → cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/vi…

Tommy the roadmap seems pretty clear immediate term -> increase DA throughput (peer DAS), support stateless use cases (verkle) farther future -> better mechanism for builders while retaining decentralized validator set

Agree. The roadmap and vision is pretty clear imo. But would also add, can always improve on the communication around these things. There is also ofc value in having a unifying narrative that is broadly/easily understood. But already many related threads on this over the past

New analysis on the impact of timing games on Ethereum's consensus online! ethresear.ch/t/on-attestati… The TL;DR is: -> timing games cause missed attestations -> the proposers of Kiln cause the biggest problems -> attestation timing varies across Lido, Coinbase, and Kiln

icymi xatu is the best source of mainnet CL + p2p data check out the available datasets here ethpandaops.io/data/xatu/sche… great to see its ecosystem of tools expanding

tldr: FOCIL can be thought of as gadget, or an add-on to the existing Ethereum protocol. It is focused on leveraging multiple validators to improve the network’s censorship resistance properties, but is minimally interfering with the current block market structure. BRAID has a

Notes from the most recent Verkle Implementers Call here: notes.ethereum.org/@rudolf/vic-no… Follow along for the latest progress on statelessness, and The Verge portion of the Ethereum roadmap ✅

an add'l important point here is how are we thinking about impact on hardware requirements & self-builders, future of the public mempool, hash function choice (arithmetic?), etc.. Would be great to have more discussion around this to help inform these decisions. Personally

Full notes from this week's Verkle Implementers Call (aka Stateless Implementers Call) here: notes.ethereum.org/@rudolf/vic-no… TLDR: more great progress by all of the client teams, and a brief update on how we are thinking about Binary vs. Verkle: statelessness + scaling the L1 :)
