Single Slot Finality and the future of staking
Discussing the evolution of the thinking around future upgrades to the Ethereum consensus protocol (single slot finality project) in relationship to the future of staking. For example discussing things like https://ethresear.ch/t/orbit-ssf-solo-staking-friendly-validator-set-management-for-ssf/19928/3

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).
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.
Erigon 3 a New Paradigm for Ethereum Clients
Erigon 3 represents a step change for Ethereum clients: * Modular client combining EL & CL * Transaction Centric * Deterministic storage model built to optimize EVM based chains * Performs on commodity drives * Sync model uses verifiable data replication and minimal re-execution * Acts as block consumer and producer, RPC, or indexer * Splits chain dissemination from chain distribution This talk outlines the key features of Erigon 3 and explains how it will change Ethereum client landscape.
How to Raise the Gas Limit: Use Ultra High Resolution Data
Recent advances in EVM data processing enable a more rigorous approach for understanding and enacting Ethereum’s scaling roadmap. In the past, discussions around whether to raise Ethereum’s gas limit have been held back by imprecise terminology and a lack of detailed quantitative evidence. The debate is often “vibes-based”. Leveraging ultra high resolution datasets enables a more scientific understanding of the gas limit, including issues like state growth, hardware bottlenecks, and gas pricing.
Insights from block propagation in the Ethereum P2P network
Libp2p’s Gossipsub protocol is one of the most critical pieces of the Ethereum protocol stack, disseminating blocks between nodes on time and ensuring that misbehaving nodes are rejected from the network. ProbeLab has studied the performance of Gossipsub in Ethereum’s P2P network, building tooling to monitor block propagations and spot abnormalities. We revealed ample space for optimisation in the protocol, which will help define the next steps in Ethereum's roadmap. Come and hear our findings!
Fork-Choice enforced Inclusion Lists (FOCIL)
A direct consequence of centralized block production is a deterioration of Ethereum's censorship resistance properties. In this talk, we introduce FOCIL, a simple committee-based design improving upon previous inclusion list and co-created block mechanisms. We present the benefits of (1) relying on a committee to address issues related to bribing/extortion attacks, and (2) having attesters enforce the IL as part of the block validity condition to prevent IL equivocation.
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.
