For the past year, I've been thinking about rollups and their paths to decentralization. I decided to structure my mental framework around it in this post. Enjoy 🚀 ethresear.ch/t/rollup-decen…

@now_arsenaI @gork who is that

Cesena officially hire former Arsenal star as new manager nowarsenal.com/transfer-news/…

@lbkolev @ambire and my quant

It’s official - i’m a newfound @ambire maxi two things matter to me when I look at wallets: - the ability to navigate through basic actions quickly (wallets should empower, not slow you down) - no built-in casino There's tremendous lack of focus in most wallets these days..which is sad given the fact that wallets are such a fundamental primitive

We can also confirm that the EF feels different. Structured efforts in supporting builders, talking to institutions and overall restructuring for the better. Although, the tangible effects from these changes will take some time to play out, it feels like Ethereum is in good hands.

Buenos Aires takeaway: In 🇹🇭 at Devcon I thought Ethereum was dieing, today at 🇦🇷 it seems Ethereum is healing

@TrollFootball @grok pls explain

Haramball derby tonight 🔥

Possibly the saddest Ethereum news of the year. OG Ethereum principles belivers willing to fight for them are endangered species now

@peter_szilagyi Thank you for your contribution. Hope to see you back soon (or at least sometime) as true Ethereum principles guardians are becoming exceedingly rare

Hey all! Been working on #Ethereum for close to 10 years now, with all its ups and downs, without a meaningful holiday. Seems it’s time to take one so I’ll be going on a sabbatical for the forseable future. Please reach out to Martin for any day-to-day Geth related issues. 🐣

Based.

@dankrad Sensible decision. Positive for the ecosystem.

I have decided to resign from my Eigenlayer advisorship. While I believe that the role was negociated in good faith and with the aim of making sure that Eigenlayer is well aligned with Ethereum, I understand that the perception of this relationship has been different and that for many the conflict of interest this creates is difficult to reconcile with my role as an Ethereum researcher. Eigenlayer is a great project that I hope will continue to complement Ethereum well in several ways. But Ethereum has a lot of important work to do and I will focus all my attention on getting it done. This will allow me to be more effective in implementing Danksharding and other important projects.

@drakefjustin Sensible move. See ya at Devcon

TLDR: I dropped the EigenLayer advisorship, left the ultra sound team, and made other changes to double down on neutrality and focus on L1 research and coordination. In September I let go of the EigenFoundation advisorship. I want to apologise to the Ethereum community and EF colleagues for the drama I caused. In hindsight it was a bad move for me to make. The ability to meaningfully effect change at L1 often hinges on legitimacy. Public perception is key. Ethereum is special in no small part thanks to the standards researchers, devs, and coordinators hold themselves to. Going forward I will turn down all advisorships, angel investments, and security councils. This personal policy goes above and beyond the recent EF-wide conflict of interest policy, not because that was asked of me but because I want to signal commitment to neutrality. The consensus layer roadmap is particularly ambitious and exciting. IMO there's a solid half-decade of critical work ahead. L1 builders have their work cut out and I want to keep giving it my best shot. To simplify and refocus I have also stepped out of the ultra sound team. The project has three excellent full-time contributors—Alex, Niclas, Christian. They have taken complete responsibility for operations and decision making of the ultra sound relay and dashboard. Ethereum's antifragility has been a recurring source of inspiration—we somehow always find a way to emerge stronger. 2024 had its challenges. I'm optimistic 2025 will be a fantastic year for Ethereum and an energising one for L1 R&D. See y'all around Devcon :)

so basically a lot of people think we’re like a blockchain or something because we have chain in the name but actually no we’re not a chain at all we just build all the stuff that makes chains work you know like protocol engineering tools and full-on product development so it’s kind of like we’re the behind-the-scenes devs making everything run but i can understand why some people can get confused it's just not what we do but thanks for asking hope that clears things up

Looking forward to meeting and learning more about all the start-ups participating. Shoot me a DM if you’ll be in Singapore, let meet!

@peter_szilagyi What are some Ethereum directions that you support and would love to see explored more?

Every time I challenge the direction #Ethereum is taking, I'm told off for being alarmist; nasty towards researchers, etc. So, I have a solution: call "your researcher" now and ask them to explain exactly how they envision the Ethereum network to look like in 5 years.

Impromptu panel roast 🔥

@sassal0x DM me if you need a fast track knowledge sharing

Spending a lot more time learning about these 2 things lately: - Based rollups - Preconfirmations I believe these things, when implemented widely across the ecosystem. will be the next huge unlock for Ethereum.

@SchizzoGeorge LOL, I would have never guessed thats you. Also Chris is CTO :D Ping me up in TG ;)

@DistributedMarz @0xkydo @kubimensah @P2Pvalidator @MuratLite @chainbound_ We haven’t made the decision how to proceed. Arguments can be had to both approaches. Arguments against a fork and contribute can be: 1. Tech stack - do we want to move away from go 2. “Client diversity” - separate implementation and teams can lead to better overall system

people creating mev-boost forks, why not upstream them into mev-boost? @GSpasov @0xkydo @kubimensah @P2Pvalidator @MuratLite @chainbound_

7/ What does this improve? The advantages of cross-rollup composability are vast, but the main use cases we are excited about at NodeKit are bridging, lending, and DEX aggregation. If you want to build any of these on top of Javelin, or any other exciting protocol enhanced by cross-rollup composability, please fill out the interest form found here: tally.so/r/n9WaR4

Introducing Javelin: The Super Builder by NodeKit With Javelin, cross-rollup transactions can be atomically executed, allowing two different blockchains to communicate within a single block. This unlocks atomic synchronous composability between rollups.

why would an L2 opt in for based sequencing?
