EVM Memory Repricing & Gentest
Memory is a critical resource that enables complex computations within the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The cost of using memory, designed to prevent its abuse, has not been revised since the inception of Ethereum. However, efficiency gains from hardware advancements and client code optimizations warrants periodic repricing of this cost. We explore possible ways to make memory more accessible.
EPF - Nethermind/IL-EVM
This talk will discuss my EPF work on Nethermind's IL-EVM project, which included developing tools to analyze EVM execution patterns, writing (optimised) opcode and top pattern implementations, and conducting and writing tests.
Sszb: A High Performance SSZ Implementation in Rust
This talk goes over my EPF project for the SSZ ecosystem: - a benchmarking suite for the various rust SSZ implementations in the ecosystem to properly evaluate performance and point developers to which library they should use. - a high performance ssz implementation that's faster than existing libraries in the ecosystem
C bindings for Constantine verkle-ipa
The session is part of final presentation of Ethereum Protocol Fellowship. In this talk I would be talking about the verkle-ipa provided by Constantine and exporting those to be made available for integration by clients for the verkle integration of ethereum roadmap.
JSON-RPC Enhancement in Geth
Introducing trace_* namespace and eth_getTransactionBySenderAndNonce into ethereum execution clients(geth,reth) to enhance the transaction and trace querying capabilities.
PeerDAS metrics specifications
The PeerDAS Metrics Specifications help make testing more efficient and straightforward by creating standard metrics for Consensus clients. With a unified Grafana dashboard, teams can monitor performance in real-time, compare client data side by side, and quickly spot issues. This approach makes troubleshooting faster, supports research, and encourages teamwork, helping strengthen the Ethereum ecosystem and improve scalability.
Shadow Network Simulations
In my EPF project, I implemented Ethshadow, a configuration generator for simulating Ethereum networks using Shadow, and used it to research improvements to the current state of PeerDAS and to estimate the effects of IDONTWANT on node bandwidth. In this presentation, I will present my findings and make a case for testing using Ethshadow.
Verkle integration in reth
This talk concerns the presentation of EPF Project: Verkle integration in reth. The project comprised of replacing the current state-commitment structure in reth with verkle tries and other modifications for statelessness, including implementing EIPs such as EIP-4762: Statelessness gas cost changes (to REVM), EIP-6800: Ethereum State using a unified verkle trie, EIP-7709: Read BLOCKHASH from storage and update cost, and passing the associated execution-spec-test vectors designed for these EIPs.
Tracing Integration in Lighthouse
During Ethereum Protocol Fellowship, I've worked on integrating `Tracing`(an async-friendly logging framework) into Lighthouse(CL client) . This presentation will provide a brief overview of the work that I’ve done.
Grandine on Windows
In this talk, the speaker will discuss the problems encountered in porting Grandine, an Ethereum consensus client, to Windows systems and the solutions from the perspectives of language, engineering, and cross-platform. The speaker found that these problems are common to the current Ethereum infrastructure based on the Rust language. Finally, the speaker will summarize and look forward to the development of Ethereum clients based on the Rust language, especially from the point of cross-platform.
