New post on EthResear.ch! AUCIL: An Auction-Based Inclusion List Design for Enhanced Censorship Resistance on Ethereum By: - sarisht - kartik1507 - voidp - soispoke.eth - Julian - barnabe.eth - luca_zanolini - Francesco 🔗 ethresear.ch/t/20422 Highlights: -

We have posted a new idea, AUCIL, for an inclusion list: ethresear.ch/t/aucil-an-auc… We'd be happy to hear your comments and suggestions. Led by _SaW, together with Fan Zhang, soispoke.eth Julian barnabe.eth Luca Zanolini Francesco

Our latest thread from the pbs.foundation essential readings looks at Inclusion Lists! We cover the ideas behind Inclusion Lists, including key models and the very latest research 🧵👇

gm FOCIL EIP-7805 Pull Request was just merged 🎉 This means you can now read about EIP-7805 here: eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7805

Uninight was awesome and the venue was beautiful! Really enjoyed presenting this impromptu roadmap session and talking about AUCIL which is joint work with _SaW, Kartik Nayak, Fan Zhang, soispoke.eth, barnabe.eth and Luca Zanolini. Quick thread!

Will be presenting my joint(Kartik Nayak and _SaW) exploratory research on preconf timing games at sequencer day on 15th!

First based preconfs on mainnet! 🕶️ Block 21,180,697 landed the first ever preconfed NFT mint and L1 transfer. Slot durations will matter less and less as transactions increasingly get preconfed for fast UX. This milestone is the culmination of a collaborative sprint that

Introducing BuilderNet. BuilderNet is a decentralized block building network for Ethereum that runs on TEEs and shares MEV & gas fees with users. An early version of BuilderNet is live today — operated by Flashbots, Beaverbuild, and Nethermind.

Flashbots no longer operates a centralized block builder on Ethereum. We’ve migrated our builders, orderflow, and refunds to BuilderNet.

Excited to announce that stokes and I are moving to the position of EF Research co-leads! With this new role, I hope to accelerate pragmatic research for Ethereum and find more ways for us to involve the ecosystem in our many exciting projects. What is EF Research?

🦖🦴 FOCIL for Glamsterdam 🦖🦴 In this note, we propose EIP-7805 as a headliner for a fork inclusion in Glamsterdam. We highlight why FOCIL matters, its benefits, and why we should include it now. 🧵👇

Starting today, Tim and I will be leading the work at the EF on scaling Ethereum L1. This is part of a restructuring of the R&D group to more effectively support the three EF strategic priorities: - scale L1 - scale L2s (i.e. blobs) - improve UX x.com/TimBeiko/statu…

1st Place - Risk Aware Restaking Restaking networks let validators reuse their staked assets to secure multiple blockchain services simultaneously. Roi Bar Zur and his team analyzed scenarios where services implement risk-aware caps to limit excessive restaking participation.

During the weekend I finished building a little app I call "zkLabeler" (zklabeler.netlify.app). It's a zkTLS powered labeler for BlueSky. It's a cool application of zkTLS, and a fun learning experience of BlueSky's take on decentralization.
