Goodbye, Poseidon!
An epic 8-year, 8-figure rabbit hole in post-quantum cryptography reaches its dream conclusion. The Ethereum Foundation is abandoning Poseidon for L1, pivoting to SHA or BLAKE. This milestone unlocks ultimate security for lean Ethereum and foreshadows a golden
We've pulled together some of the most interesting research problems in MEV in the new Flashbots Research Problem Database ⚡🤖
It includes completed work, early ideas, WIP, and requests for research in Incentives, cryptography, PBS, TEE, data, and more!
