Investment & Philanthropy - The donor has donated 128 ETH to each of @session_app and @SimpleXChat to support their development [1] - The donor encourages users to download and use @session_app and @SimpleXChat [1] Technology & Privacy - Encrypted messaging is critical for preserving digital privacy [1] - Permissionless account creation and metadata privacy are two important next steps for encrypted messaging [1] - Strong metadata privacy requires decentralization, which is challenging [1] - Multi-device support adds complexity to decentralization [1] - Sybil/DoS resistance in message routing and user side is difficult without phone number dependence [1] Challenges & Future Directions - @session_app and @SimpleXChat are not perfect and need improvement in user experience and security [1] - More attention is needed to solve the problems in decentralized messaging [2]

Growth & Scalability - Industry anticipates continued growth, but expects it to be more targeted and less uniform in the coming year [1] - A potential future scenario involves a 5x increase in gas limit, coupled with a 5x increase in gas cost for relatively inefficient operations [1] - Ethereum's block gas limit has already doubled (2x increase) within a single year, reaching 60 million [1] Optimization Targets - Focus areas for optimization include SSTORE operations (when creating new storage and in general), precompiles (excluding elliptic curve functions), CALLs to contracts with large sizes, complex arithmetic opcodes (possibly MODMUL), and calldata [2]

RT Toni Wahrstätter ⟠ (@nero_eth)Just a year after the community started pushing for higher gas limits, Ethereum is now running with a 60M block gas limit.That’s a 2× increase in a single year — and it’s only the beginning.H/t to all client teams, the researchers involved, and to @nanexcool and @econoar for helping mobilize the effort.🔗 https://t.co/vrIl4EQZwr ...

Staying aligned with Ethereum’s vision is the mission, and it’s great to see that commitment recognized.Still a lot of work ahead: auditing, formal verification, and several pending optimizations. ...
