AI agents need privacy, and Ethereum can provide it.
Here’s a clip of two autonomous agents discovering each other, generating stealth addresses, and interacting privately on Ethereum.

@raulvk Really enjoyed our collabs, and looking forward to all the stuff we’ll still tackle together!
Ethereum’s p2p layer has been in best hands with you.
English
Ethereum's roadmap got real in the last 12mo: PQ, scaling, latency, privacy, AA, minimization, hardness. A lot hinges on p2p networking.
A few weeks ago I decided to leave the EF to keep advancing this layer from the outside. Last week was my last day; the end of a memorable chapter in the arena with some of the most principled, humble, and talented people in this space. The Protocol cluster is in great hands with @corcoranwill, @kevaundray, and @fredrik0x.
The work continues, no time to skip a slot. Core Devs got pilled on ethp2p at interop, and so should you. 👇

There's a new chapter starting for the Protocol cluster. We're welcoming new leads and coordinators, and continuing our work toward Glamsterdam, Hegotà, and the Strawmap. More in the blog below 👇

Excited to announce this evolution of Protocol, the @ethereumfndn teams stewarding, researching and developing the Ethereum protocol.
After our re-launch of Protocol in June last year, @TimBeiko, @ralexstokes and I are now passing the torch to our talented colleagues @corcoranwill @kevaundray and @fredrik0x. They are taking on the task of delivering on Scaling, UX and Hardness objectives, with the protocol strawmap in their pocket (strawmap.org).
---
It is also time to announce that I made the decision to leave the Ethereum Foundation, my home for the past 6.5 years ❤️
I am so grateful for this opportunity I had, to work with amazing individuals, on the most impactful project there is.
Looking back from when I started (here it is -> x.com/barnabemonnot/…), it has been a wild ride from early EIP-1559 work, to the Merge, to MEV markets, to staking, finality, interoperability and UX; and from my beginnings in the Robust Incentives Group to co-leading Protocol for the past year.
Over this past year, our Protocol priorities, particularly our "Improve UX" work, shifted my attention to nearer-term questions. Throughout, I've been excited to take on a more product-centric view. Making Ethereum's unique features more available to users today is on my mind; so is participating in the plurality of ways that Ethereum gets built.
I'd love to hear from friends old and new about what excites them at the moment, and share where I'm at. Please reach out!

Breakthroughs coming to attestation broadcast too.
Three principles: shaving off wire bytes, reducing latencies, increasing information efficiency per committee.
One Hegotá proposal that made several Core Devs happy is Batching Attestations at Source, authored by yours truly, in collaboration with @nero_eth and @mkalinin2.

Final numbers are in the making while we're talking.
Things depend a bit on EIP-7928 (BALs) which make state operations faster (parallelizable + batch prefetching + parallel state root computation), which in turn requires stable/optimized clients for benchmarking.
I expect the final numbers to arrive very soon.

@goatishduck @nero_eth @robotevm The EIP itself doesn't say :(
I'm not a core dev, so I have no additional insight

Bitcoin doesn’t need a "new" privacy solution that’s really just a worse mixer wrapped in multisigs and trust assumptions.
CoinJoins already work, and they’ve worked for years.
Reinventing privacy badly is not progress.

The blog post is great, but something that is often lost, or simply taken for granted, may not be so obvious to everyone. In my experience the single most important aspect of these meetings is the human interaction and trust-building connections that are started in these events. It is pretty clear that Ethereum is steered by a body of people representing very disparate corporate and personal interests. After a few nights hacking until 3am you get a clear feeling on people's values. We may disagree on some technical aspects, very strongly at times, but I know my allies and whom to trust mostly from these meetings. And often times are the ones that disagree with me the most.

Now that Glamsterdam made solid progress at the interop, we’ve started ramping up work on Hegotá.
At first glance, Hegotá looks easy. A fork with one headliner. But you’ve been warned. FOCIL is just the beginning. A long line of EIPs is vying for inclusion.
Plenty more to come in subsequent forks. Native AA, statelessness, execution proofs, PQ, Fast Finality and so on. It’s hard to say which one is more important or more difficult than others.
Exciting years ahead.
Stay ambitious. Play the long game.

Last week, Ethereum core contributors gathered in Svalbard for the Soldøgn interop: a week long event focused on hardening Glamsterdam implementations to scale Ethereum securely ☀️ Read the full recap, including their candidate post-fork gas limit, below:

@lou3ee @vdWijden @TimBeiko @parithosh_j @nero_eth @VitalikButerin curious why this went down at the north pole?
English
Last week I travelled to the North Pole to film 100 core developers building Ethereum.
But there was a twist...
They had 5 days to build the first devnet for Glamsterdam, Ethereum’s next major upgrade, helping secure a $500 billion network.
It was the most magical experience of my life.
I’ve never experienced energy like it.
It very quickly became, to me, the ultimate hackathon.
With the stakes of Ethereum’s uptime.
But how does anything stay together when no one is in charge?
At one point @TimBeiko said: “we're about to turn 1 month of async work into 1 day”...
From 4am technical drama (shit gets hot),
To the most beautiful coordination between client teams,
All the way to people really explaining why they do this.
These are THE heroes you’ve never heard of.
This is about the people keeping Ethereum alive.
This is THE story.
The people who have put a decade of work into Ethereum’s uptime.
Full documentary coming soon.

Excited about what @lou3ee is cooking.
Dude captured the magic and chaos of Ethereum core devs perfectly.
Can’t wait for this one.

Privacy 🤝🏻 2D nonces.
soispoke.eth@soispoke
🔐 New EIP-8250: Keyed Nonces for Frame Transactions 🔐 by @soispoke, @nero_eth, @lightclients and @VitalikButerin This replaces the single sender nonce with (nonce_key, nonce_seq), giving frame transactions independent replay domains. For privacy protocols, the key can be derived from a nullifier: concurrent withdrawals from a shared sender become possible, with inclusion atomically marking the nullifier spent. Target fork: Hegota Links below 👇
English
Latency from building the BAL will be small/negligible, but building remains fully sequential.
Latency from the extra data is more important to focus on: today, with 1-2s of proposer timing games blocks have 2-3s to propagate and execute. With BALs, the execution will be significantly faster while ePBS provides more time for propoagation (up to ~4-6s) and the rest of the slot for execution (4-6s), assuming 2s for the beacon block with the EL payload commitment.
English
Interop for Glamsterdam was a big success, and from what I can tell, it will bring major scaling improvements to Ethereum.
With BALs (EIP-7928), nodes can parallelize transaction execution, state root computation, and batch prefetch the state needed for a block.
With ePBS (EIP-7732), we get ~2-3x more time for execution.
Devs have been shipping non-stop this week, and I’m as tired as I am convinced this fork will be a huge unlock.

Ethereum is turning privacy into a first-class primitive.
Frame transactions (EIP-8141) + 2D nonces remove the need for intermediaries: fees can be paid from the withdrawal itself, no third party relayer or doxxed account needed anymore.
Next steps include:
- cheaper deposits/withdrawals (more throughput, cheaper proving)
- enshrined privacy at L1

Ethereum is about to scale hard.
Time for app devs to revisit ideas that failed years ago due to high gas costs.
200M gas looks very realistic, and 300M is well within reach.
Glamsterdam changes the scale.
Hasu⚡️🤖@hasufl
A fact I feel like almost nobody knows: Ethereum's gas limit will be increased to ~200M after Glamsterdam, a huge increase from the 60M we have today. That’s a 3x+ of L1 execution capacity, with expectation of further doubling soons after that. Assuming no similar increase in demand, fees could stay near zero for years. This is the result of several innovations coming together at the right time: ePBS gives payloads more time, BALs let clients prefetch/parallelize execution work, and gas repricings make higher limits safe.

@duncancmt @Tudmotu Ah sorry, ignore my last comment as you now brought uo a use case while I was still typing. Yeah, ethmag is a better place - thanks!
