Why is diamond-level trust so fundamental to Ethereum's value? Here's a thought experiment: • With ZK, computation cost on blockchains is going to look like a race to zero vs today's costs • With DA sampling, same for bandwidth • With stateless validation, same for storage •

This is my approximate view of what the next ~5-10 years of eth2 and beyond might look like. Roadmap below reflects my own views, others (including future versions of me) may have different perspectives! Details may of course change as we discover new info or new tech.

Redistribution expands the expressive power of EigenLayer’s slashing system. Rather than burn value, AVSs can now route it, towards restitution, insurance, or rewards. More flexible incentives. More aligned systems.

🗡️ The next phase of Slashing is coming: Redistribution. Slashed funds aren’t lost, they’re redirected. Now AVSs can repurpose them, unlocking new use cases in the verifiable economy. Details 👇🧵
