Hunt the Bug, Save the Chain: Uncovering Bugs in EIP Implementations
Duration: 01:51:06
Speaker: danceratopz, Dimitry Kh, Mario Vega, Spencer Taylor-Brown
Type: Workshop
Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
In this workshop you can find a bug in an EIP implementation on a test network!
The Ethereum Foundation Testing Team oversees cross-client execution specification testing, which is critical to avoid consensus issues at the smart-contract execution level.
You'll implement tests for a new EIP from scratch using the ethereum/execution-spec-tests framework and execute them on a local test network with a faulty client. Anyone attending has the chance to find the issue and break the network!

Protec and Attac: Programmatic Execution Layer Consensus Tests
We'll give an overview of Ethereum Execution Spec Tests (EEST), the new Python framework used since Shanghai to generate test vectors for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) implementations. By generating tests programmatically this modular framework allows test cases to be readily parametrized and dynamically executed against clients on live networks. It tightly integrates with the Ethereum Execution Layer Specification (EELS) and could potentially be used across the L2 EVM ecosystem.

Tales from interop
A deep dive into the interop process for Pectra and how it evolved over the year. Find out how 100 people can work on 3 forks at the same time and how we avoided the devops bottlenecks.

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.

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).

Emilie - Making sure EOF is done right
We present Emilie. Emilie is designed to ensure the correct implementation of the EVM Object Format (EOF) by testing compilers and execution clients. It re-executes mainnet transactions using EOF bytecode instead of original bytecode, comparing results and performance with the original execution. Emilie tests interactions between EOF and legacy contracts using real data. It supports recompilation for Solidity and Vyper, enabling it to find bugs across compilers and execution clients.

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.

EIPs Simplified: History and Process Explained
It is planned to be an easy-to-understand session about Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). We'll explore the interesting history of EIPs and the important moments that have shaped different types and categories of proposals. Learn how EIPs go from an idea to becoming part of the Ethereum network, and see how editors help improve the standardization process. This talk is perfect for anyone who wants to learn about EIPs without getting into technical details.

How long non-finality could kill Ethereum
After the merge, Ethereum has a finality gadget to provide an economic assurance that transactions will never be reverted. When 2/3 of the validator set are online and agree, we finalize. Otherwise, we enter a period of non-finality which can be very long, up to a few weeks. Long non-finality has never happened in Ethereum's history and could trigger a cascade of failures that will kill liveness. How can we harden the network against this? How high are the stakes?

EVM Object Format (EOF): Managing the Bytecode Chaos
Currently, EVM bytecode, while being powerful and simple, is lacking structure. This leads to many complexities when introducing new EIPs and maintaining backwards compatibility. In this talk, we illustrate some use cases of the EVM Object Format (EOF). Next, we provide a quick overview of the main changes introduced by the EOF and related EIPs, along with code examples. Finally, we discuss potential benefits and drawbacks that could arise with the introduction of EOF
