Most fun I have had in my career, stewarding this alongside a community that I believe in & care deeply about! Thank you to all the teams that helped get @Commit_Boost to this milestone. If you are not involved, reach out! Grants, testing, feedback, and countless other things!

1/ We are excited to share that Commit-Boost is headed towards audit and production! As an open-source, public good, this could not have been possible without many teams across the Ethereum Community. Thank you for all your time and effort! See below 👇

1/ Excited by an area of research that could have far reaching implications on Ethereum’s blockspace future! In a post with @FrontierDotTech, @alexmatthews95 and I discuss the open design space for blockspace derivatives & selling future blockspace.

Go based. It is simple. - Capture your congestion fees - Focus on users/functionality not on paying Chainlink or getting Jeremy to deploy USDC - Deploy once, get network effects of Ethereum and other based rollups - Let the feds knock on the L1 validator's door, not yours

1/ A humble perspective on the future of block building! TLDR: MEV is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg and that the greater opportunity for block building will be about products that optimize and provide access to blockspace. frontier.tech/beyond-extract…

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

The relay is not dead! In fact, it has a superpower—coordination. If this power is used responsibly, it could benefit Ethereum and become sustainable. Just published a post on ETH research and thread below! ethresear.ch/t/grounded-rel…

This last week someone in the Ethereum community asked if I was going to an event. I mentioned we didn't have a travel budget yet for Commit-Boost, so would not be going. Their response, we'll pay. Daily reminder of kindness in the world and in Ethereum.

1/ During a journey to learn more about restaking, it became apparent that there was potential centralization risk of operators. To help reduce this risk, @swp0x0, @jasnoodle, @RobinDotETH, @DroseraNetwork, and I discuss an Optimistic Delegation Framework.

Amazing call. Personally excited to double down on coordination with Fabric. This in no way is a shift away from @Commit_Boost, rather leaning in unlocking more resources to help push Ethereum forward. Wartime mode. Research post on Fabric coming with more details...

epic sequencing call #17! Many founders, including 10 rollup founders, shared their support for based and/or native rollups. Below are some their quotes. 1h45min YouTube recording coming ASAP :) Part 1—based and native rollups Ben Jones from @Optimism: "Let's get this right.
