RT soispoke.eth (@soispoke)Alice swaps privately on L1tldr: Privacy protocol users today depend on broadcasters that can see, frontrun, and censor their transactions. In this thread we show how four future protocol upgrades can remove this dependency step by step. Native AA (EIP-8141) and 2D nonces let users self-submit with no off-chain infrastructure. Encrypted frame transactions hide swap parameters until after block ordering is committed. FOCIL guarantees inclusion as long as one honest includer can see ...

Once @leanethereum is fully deployed, Ethereum will be the only major chain that simultaneously has (i) theoretically optimal security properties under synchrony [requires 51% of online validators honest], and (ii) strong economic finality under asynchrony. Most "semi-centralized fast chains" pick (ii) only, PoW chains pick (i) only, Ethereum gets both. ...

An excellent post explaining the importance of Ethereum having a dynamically available consensus, that both provides economic finality and ensures chain progress even under conditions where economic finality is impossible.https://t.co/wrtIRFnHpL ...

A new fast confirmation rule mechanism lets you get a hard guarantee that Ethereum will not revert after one slot (12 seconds)Security assumptions are (i) supermajority honest, (ii) network latency under ~3s. So one step below economic finality, but very strong for many use cases.https://t.co/5UbEi5gioy ...

I feel like at every level we've implicitly made this decision that running a node is this oh so scary devops task that it is ok to leave to professionals.IT IS NOT.We need to reverse this. Running your own Ethereum infrastructure should be the basic right of every individual and household."The hardware requirement is high, therefore it's okay for the devops skill and time requirements to also be high" is not an excuse. Even people who can afford high-end hardware, dedicated staking boxes, etc often do not ...

We should be open to revisiting whole beacon/execution client separation thing.Running two daemons and getting them to talk to each other is far more difficult than running one daemon.Our goal is to make the self-sovereign way of using ethereum have good UX. In many cases that means running your own node. The current approach to running your own node adds needless complexity.Short-term, maybe we want some more standardized basic wrapper that lets you install dockers of any client and make them talk to each ...

RT Lasha 🔑🗳️ (@LashaAntadze)Let me explain it in simple terms. Since 2024, when we first launched #freedomtool with the Russian opposition, we have been boiling in hot water on the ground to solve each issue and ensure every vote of dissent was secure (there were 40,000 participants). That might look small, but it was the largest protest gathering in Russia since 2021.There are two major caveats when working with passports. First, you need to ensure uniqueness so that 1 vote = 1 passport. For this you have ...
