Ethereum is about to fundamentally change how blocks are executed. With the upcoming Glamsterdam hardfork, it's shipping EIP-7928: Block-level Access Lists, a proposal that brings parallelization to the EVM. Here's a short explainer of what it is, how it works, and why it's a

Ethereum's execution layer scaling roadmap is on track: - Continuous Gas Limit Increases (EIP-7935) - History Expiry (EIP-4444) - Delayed Execution (EIP-7886) - Block Access Lists (EIP-7928) - Block-Level Warming (EIP-7863) Here's a short thread with additional context👇

For the first time in Ethereum PoS, validators have voted to increase the gas limit and it's happening now. 🎉 We saw the last gas limit increase with the London hardfork in August 2021, still PoW.

I don't get this vibe lately. EthGlobal organizes hackathons with thousands of participants worldwide every year, and there’s also a protocol fellowship program for aspiring core developers and researchers. As far as I know, Ethereum is the only ecosystem with sustainable

With EIP-1559, zero gas transactions are no longer possible. Together with @lightclients and @gballet, we reintroduced them by implementing a PoC for a gas ticketing service. It uses blind signatures to fund unfunded accounts in a privacy-preserving way. hackmd.io/@Nerolation/rk…

New dashboard online - censorship.pics 🙌 May it shed light onto the extent of censorship and guide us towards implementing practical solutions for enshrining a strong form of censorship resistance. More info 👇

I'm excited to share our latest research on adjusting the block gas limit. Together with @VitalikButerin, we're exploring paths to reduce the maximum block size, balance calldata pricing, and ultimately raise the block gas limit.

Should we increase Ethereum's block gas limit? To guide this decision, I've just published an analysis focusing on block sizes, gas limits, and scalability:

Data shows that the Flashbots MEV-Boost Relay (same for the Flashbots builders) is censoring @TornadoCash transactions. Since the Merge, not a single transaction interacting with the Tornado Cash contracts has been included in their MEV-boosted blocks. /1
