Sadly we cannot outcompete multibillion VCs who copy-paste our architecture and code (open source, right?). @AkulaApp is winding down and I'll be taking a break from Ethereum core dev for the foreseeable future.

So some people wanted name and shame. I’ll post some funny screenshots instead.

I built an ultra-fast blockchain node once. I am going to do it again. Learn more about #FantomBallet below.

I am happy to announce the preview of Akula, the fastest Ethereum implementation ever built. Merry Christmas 🎉

I kept being poked how I knew that @paradigm 's new 'client' is a copypasta. They open sourced their repo today so see for yourself 👇 Not good to lie on record @gakonst.

GH @github has deleted repo of libmdbx, database engine used by Erigon family of nodes. Likely because of US sanctions against Russia and/or @ptsecurity. Welcome to brave new world.

- Akula is blazing fast - Its database is compressible to 50-60 GB or even less, with pruning - Rust has iOS toolchain available - MDBX should work on iOS With some effort we will reach the ultimate feat of decentralization: Akula full node on iPhones with >=128GB SSD

Or to Fantom. But overall: yes, fragmenting ecosystem on purpose kills.

Unpopular opinion: the increasingly messy, fragmented Ethereum L2 landscape is going to kill the ecosystem entirely and drive more and more applications and developers to monolithic/“integrated” ecosystems like Solana.

Passing the scalability torch to L2 is just giving up on fixing your L1 node software.

Ethereum is as toast as Bitcoin if this is accepted. The only proposed way to scale Ethereum is through corrupt centralized L2s. L1 sharding is not even mentioned anymore.

We are a veteran team of ex-Ethereum core developers - and fathers of @ErigonEth and @AkulaApp - stepping in to bring all our prowess to @FantomFDN. I would like to thank my teammates for their expertise in making Ballet possible: @EugeneDVV @b00riscd @0xffEth

Just imagine if you had a unified L1 EVM env with negligible costs to do what you want. Not bending over backwards to gas schedule. But wait, there is one actually. @FantomFDN, with even better node software launching in prod soon.

No one is talking about this but rollups are such a paradigm shift for dev experience. I’m only starting to realize this because it’s my first time building an L2-first protocol. The fact that all EVM resource costs except calldata are negligible is so empowering yet I haven’t

Fantom's new Rust node, Ballet, will sport (as benchmarked) up to 100x faster implementation of Lachesis algorithm. Lachesis epochs are processed in as little as 100ms by Ballet. Moreover, all database design benefits pioneered by @ErigonEth will power Ballet as well.

By the way, @paradigm, your legal compliance not screaming about libmdbx - a *sanctioned* piece of code yet? Your copypasta depends on it and my Rust bindings. @n0computer for example refused to use it for their IPFS impl.
