Staking on Power Efficient and Low Cost Hardware: From ARM64 to RISC-V Boards

Duration: 00:00:00

Speaker: aavegotch1.eth, haurog

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

The entry barrier to staking on Ethereum got lower, as ARM boards, the tooling and OS support have improved massively. We show the current landscape of hardware options and the software stack to go along with it. As a glimpse into the future we will talk about RISC-V, an open CPU architecture, present the current state of RISC-V based single board computers. We will discuss the progress we have made to run Ethereum nodes on these boards and the road ahead to optimize 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.

Empowering Users: How Ethereum’s Low Node Requirements Promote True Decentralization Over Solana

Nine years after Ethereum's launch, you can still run a node at home on commodity hardware, even low-powered devices like $185 ARM64 boards. Why is this so important? Wouldn't Solana's approach, using more powerful hardware for higher speed and throughput, be better? We'll explore why home nodes matter for decentralization, credible neutrality, and global accessibility. We'll also compare node requirements vs the Nakamoto coefficient as metrics for measuring decentralization.

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.

How long non-finality could kill Ethereum preview

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?
