At @EthereumDenver we hacked together a full data-blob-transaction prototype! (a.k.a. mini-danksharding)
Data blobs are the first milestone towards full ethereum sharding, enabling rollups like @optimismPBC to grow 100x in capacity.
Here's a tweet thread about the prototype ๐งต

- Wasted a lot of time researching wallets, they're all bad. Metamask - bugs, unreliable HW support, bad UX. Rainbow - no custom RPC support, hides metadata too much. Rivet - no ledger support, dapp-dev focused, stagnant 2+ mo. XDefi - Swaps I don't need, more defi than tech.
- Starting to feel like eth-crypto-twitter has lost it. Dev news about Altair, Merge, Sharding, Rollups? Maybe 1%. Just penguins in my feed chatting about opensea emails. I like NFTs, but increasingly feeling depressed the more I see the imbalance.
- My crypto predictions for 2023. Mostly about Eth related tech, just for fun. Let's see if next year is as full of surprises as this year was.
- I Support EIP-4488! Let's make rollups cheaper! Let me explain what this is about, and why I support it ๐งต #supportEIP4488
- After much reflection, I've decided to step away from my role at @OPLabsPBC. It's been an incredible journey: the OP-Stack, the Superchain, and Ethereum have evolved so much, with many great people, and I am grateful for having been a part of that. At the same time, the space

- "Block">"Blob" is really profound Executable "shard chains" with "crosslinks" got obsoleted: EVM in beaconchain, and rollup-centric roadmap with data-availability sampling to scale base layer without app env complexity. But how do you call shard contents without block metadata?I love @TimBeiko's current arc where he just says "blobspace" in random threads around Twitter to meme in into further existence.
- Eth2 testnet with sharding mid-May? Or even more amazing with a Merge implementation in the same testnet? I think we can do it, with your help! Applications โก๏ธ scaling.ethglobal.co #eth2
- The Kintsugi Merge testnet is live! And it is incredibly easy to use and join, thanks to @parithosh_j, @skylenet and the client devs! Help test the Merge, get started here: kintsugi.themerge.dev #ethereumThe Kintsugi testnet is live! All links here: kintsugi.themerge.dev
- The Beacon Spec for Eth 2.0 is getting closer to completion everyday! ๐ I created a schematic to help everyone understand the technicals of the spec. SVG on GitHub (contributions welcome): github.com/protolambda/beโฆ #ethereum #eth2 #beaconchain
