Exploring the Future of Account Abstraction

Discover the journey of Ethereum's Account Abstraction (AA) from inception to its current state, challenges tackled by ERC-4337, and future roadmap: modular native AA approach for L2 and L1, and EOA improvement (EIP-7702).

Anti-Correlation Penalties

Anti-Correlation Penalties is a proposal to allow the penalties for missed attestations to vary over slots, based on the number of missed attestations in the respective slots. This is great for non-correlated parties such as solo stakers and improves decentralization, fault tolerance and diversity in the validator set.

Protocol Guild: funding the Ethereum commons

Ethereum produces shared resources within the commons frame. Protocol Guild is a way collectively fund the people maintaining the crucial underlying software, while rebalancing the incentives to do this work relative to the broader industry context. The entire ecosystem benefits when there is consistent incentives to recognize this work.

What’s Going Into the Pectra Upgrade?

A talk explaining the core EIPs going into the Pectra upgrade and the core EIPs still TBD for inclusion in Pectra. The talk will also touch on Pectra timing and fork scoping for the next hard fork after Pectra. Finally, the talk will share insights about the governance process of Ethereum in light of Pectra and takeaways about the priorities of Ethereum protocol developers.

Native Account Abstraction in Pectra, rollups and beyond: combining EOF, EIP-7702 and RIP-7560

Account Abstraction has rightfully become one of the most discussed topics in the Ethereum ecosystem. The upcoming Pectra upgrade is set to be the first one to improve EOAs by including EIP-7702. But can EIP-7702 alone achieve "Account Abstraction"? We will discuss the challenges and benefits of EIP-7702, and break down the team's vision for achieving "complete" Native Account Abstraction with RIP-7560/EIP-7701 and how it differs from ERC-4337 + EIP-7702.

Ethereum in 25 Minutes, Version MMXVII

So what are all of the different moving parts of the Ethereum blockchain? What are uncles, how do contracts call other contracts, who runs them? What is the role of proof of work and proof of stake, and what exactly is gas? What will EIP86 do for you? Vitalik Buterin provides a 25-minute technical overview of the ethereum blockchain, start to finish, and explain many of these concepts in detail.

Yul, eWasm, Solidity: Progress and Future Plans

Over the last months, the Yul language has matured and proved its flexibility. The Solidity team has implemented an optimizer and an eWasm dialect and is now full steam working on rewriting the Solidity code generator to produce Yul code to replace sequences of EVM instructions.The Yul optimizer now matches the old EVM optimizer and already surpasses it with features like function inlining and cross-function optimization. This is also the main reason why the new code generator can be written in a super-modular way. Furthermore, it can equally operate on EVM- and eWasm-flavoured Yul code, which is important to cope with the 256- to 64-bit translation.Through this, the Solidity compiler can now output eWasm code, which makes efficient use of 64 bit types. Furthermore, the new code generator includes automated overflow checks everywhere, again something that would have destroyed the old optimizer. Future work:We plan to use a more intricate formal system to remove redundant operations and checks based on range-relations between variables. The introduction of memory area types will help optimizing memory allocation. Finally, a super-optimizer could prove useful, since it is worth spending extra time on compilation to save gas.
