    new research from @paradigm: How to Raise the Gas Limit ⛽⛽ lots of people want to raise the gas limit, but so far most of the discourse has lacked detailed quantitative evidence that ends today. we are making the scientific case for scaling Ethereum using ultra-high-res data

    PSA if you haven't used python in the past 5 years it's a completely new language now - uv solved the package management problems entirely - mypy type checks have become actually useful - cpython is now much faster - polars + fastapi + ruff replaced pandas + flask + black

    major narrative violation: hyperliquid ADL actually INCREASED PnL for the vast majority of shorts last week many ppl are sour that ADL closed shorts right before prices nuked. but the data reveals that most ADL hit near the price bottom, locking in near-optimal profits

    ~68% of Base chain state has been taken over by a single protocol of questionable utility thanks to cheap fees + storage mispricing, a tiny number of users have monopolized the majority of network resources this has implications for every cheap fee blockchain. some thoughts 👇

    today I'm releasing spice 🌶️ my python client for @DuneAnalytics this is the easiest + fastest way to export data out of Dune you can now extract any query's data with a single python call

    juicy 🧃 crypto 🧮 data 📊 thread 🧵 ctc 0.3.0 is out today this is a large release with lots of new features i want to share some of them with you in an oversized megathread (cc @AdamCochran) many examples and screenshots incoming... 1 / 48

    EPIC ACTUAL DATA on how much the gas limit can be raised initial results suggest that all 5 node clients can already support a substantially higher gas limit mainnet is currently 1.25MGas/s...the 5 node clients are supporting 80x - 280x times that. still need to comb through
    Ethereum L1 PerfNet up and running 🔥 5 EL clients 4 CL clients 4 GigaGas #gaslimit 4 seconds slots Full blocks already there 📈 High txs blocks (20k txs) 📈 Tough conditions but chain keeps going 🦾 Several 🪲 reported to ELs to make results even better #ScaleL1 #PumpTheGas

    amazing news. ethereum is about to lower the storage burden of nodes by 80%, via expiring history this will switch from the dark blue line to the light blue line in this chart this will free up many years of runway for state growth
    History-expiry update: More than 80% of Ethereum full node disk space is occupied by history, so data not needed to validate new blocks. With the latest 1.31.* releases, @nethermind is fully ready to drop pre-merge history via ERA files. Dropping history requires

    probably no one other than VC's cares about this, but at paradigm I'll be changing roles from data associate to research partner expect more of the same from me. work ain't done until the world is drowning in open source tools and data
    Excited to announce @notnotstorm will be stepping up as Research Partner at @paradigm! His OSS tools like Cryo and Spice power some of the industry's biggest data platforms, and his research work has helped us think analytically about the future of Ethereum. Congrats Dr Storm!

    there’s a new EIP for scaling ethereum. it: - increases blockspace by FIFTY percent - does NOT increase the gas limit or DoS risk - is TRIVIAL to implement details 👇

    still stuck using csv? well there’s a new tool for anyone that enjoys rust, parquet, or crypto data… ❄️🧊cryo🧊❄️ cryo is the easiest way to extract crypto data to parquet (and other formats) details 👇👇
