I’m excited to share that after 5 wonderful years at the @ethereum Foundation, I’m embarking on a new adventure.
It’s been an incredible journey with the EF to develop the Ethereum protocol - from early proof-of-stake research to The Merge & beyond! The highlight has been

- While you guys were chasing after NFTs, Ethereum researchers were thinking about the last PoW block. The Merge is near. Check out a PoC here: github.com/adiasg/eth2-qu…

- Releasing the distributed validators spec - a key piece of decentralized staking infrastructure!Happy birthday beacon chain! Here's an updated roadmap diagram for where Ethereum protocol development is at and what's coming in what order. (I'm sure this is missing a lot, as all diagrams are, but it covers a lot of the important stuff!)

- I'm giving a talk on "Design Choices in Eth2.0" at EthCC on Wednesday at 1335. The talk is aimed at informing smart contract devs about why they should expect changes to their dev experience in Eth2.0! 😄 Slides:docs.google.comDesign Choices in Eth2.0Design Choices in Eth2.0 Aditya Asgaonkar Ethereum Foundation

- Ethereum is currently processing 2x the number of messages than are required. Validators spend half their bandwidth aggregating messages created by just a few participants. The fix - allow large stakers to consolidate their stake into fewer validators!
- Replying to @adiasgNow that you know the basics of Casper FFG, find out how it is implemented in Eth2.0 from my new post: adiasg.me/2020/04/09/cas…
- From undergrad student author at an IEEE conference to a member of its technical program committee in less than 2 years! 😄
- In our devcon4 @EFDevcon workshop, "Building a Cryptoeconomic Tool Set", we will maximize the cost of attack in a few simple cryptoeconomic systems! Check it out on Day 0 at 4pm! There will be ⚠️math⚠️ 🎉 @VladZamfir, @adiasg, @ben_chain, Georgios Piliouras, and @naterush1997
