RT Kev.Ξth (@owocki)NEW POD @vitalikbuterin on the @greenpillnet podcast for a year-end deep dive into public goods funding in the @Ethereum ecosystem.Thx @devanshmehta for co-hosting. We discuss how the landscape has shifted from “vibes-based” funding to verifiable, dependency-driven mechanisms, and why this is the best moment to reform PGF using new tools like programmable cryptography, AI-assisted evaluation, and deep funding models.Vitalik shares how he thinks about dependencies, credible neutrality, op ...

RT terence (@terencechain)Shipping Fusaka and scaling blobs are big deal, but the part that doesn’t get enough credit is that we set out to ship TWO complicated forks this year & pulled it off.Massive effort from client teams, EF, and the community. New mindset, strong execution all around ...

My rough math based on average difficulty stats suggests that Bitcoin mining crossed the total 2**96 hashes milestone very recently?Seems like a good reason to insist on (close to) 128 bit security (ie. @drakefjustin was right) https://t.co/zrwtbdnan3 ...

Always glad to see when people appreciate the protocol changes that add hard invariants, improving protocol security and future adaptability2021: EIP-2929 + 3529 (SLOAD gas cost increase, refunds nerfed)2024: SELFDESTRUCT nerf (Dencun)2025: 16,777,216 gas per tx limitAll of these put various kinds of hard caps on how much can happen within a single block or a single transaction, eliminating entire classes of DoS risk, enabling client code simplification, and creating more options for how to increase efficie ...

RT sassal.eth/acc 🦇🔊 (@sassal0x)Friendly reminder:Fusaka isn't the final upgrade going live for Ethereum this year - on Dec 9th, a BPO fork will activate & the blob target will increase from 6 to 10.Then, on January 7th, another BPO fork will activate and the blob target will go from 10 to 14.Accelerate! ...

PeerDAS in Fusaka is significant because it literally is sharding.Ethereum is coming to consensus on blocks without requiring any single node to see more than a tiny fraction of the data. And this is robust to 51% attacks - it's client-side probabilistic verification, not validator voting.Sharding has been a dream for Ethereum since 2015 , and data availability sampling since 2017 ( https://t.co/Fa0jKFgObW ), and now we have it.That said, there are three ways that the sharding in Fusaka is incomplete:* We c ...
