Stateless Consensus

1/ Ethereum has been on a multi-year journey to scale: L2s, blobs, gas limit increases, gas repricings, and ePBS. Each step boosts throughput, but it also puts more pressure on state, the layer everything else depends on.

Interesting insights from Kev's talk on precompile utilization!

Yesterday at @StatelessEth we presented how @ethrex_client does stateless execution. We discussed the difference between traditional and stateless execution, ethrex’s architecture for optional proofs implementation, and how LEVM integrates different guest programs for the different zkVMs out there. The talk included a full EIP-8025 local net demo integrating ethrex + zkboost + zklighthouse. Thanks for having us!

Really enjoyed being part of the mini-ACD panel at @StatelessEth. Alongside core devs from @HyperledgerBesu, @Nethermind, and @ErigonEth, and hosted by @gballet and @CPerezz19, we discussed binary trie transitions, state expiry, code chunking, and ZK proofs. We also presented our experimental EIP for optional proofs and their importance for enabling cheaper validators while increasing gas limits.

I had the chance to speak at the Stateless Summit Tightly packed schedule and even tighter concentration of ideas and sharp minds. Grateful for the conversations, the new friends and threads to be explored 🔥 x.com/StatelessEth/s…
