Shadow Network Simulations

Duration: 00:15:36

Speaker: Daniel Knopik

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
