Supernodes on a Shoestring: Democratizing Ethereum with Low-Power Hardware

Duration: 01:17:42

Speaker: Diego Losada, Fernando Collado

Type: Workshop

Expertise: Beginner

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

Learn to run a full Ethereum supernode (L1 & L2) on affordable hardware (ARM devices) This live demo will guide you through selecting the hardware, installing EoA image who automatically install and configure all the software. Become a part of the decentralized Ethereum on a easy and power efficient way.

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.

Top opcode offenders in the zkEVM

One of the challenges for any L2 is to reflect accurately the cost for each opcode in zk-resources. Ethereum L1 reflects the resource cost in term of GAS but lately it has been proposed chnages in opcode GAS cost to fit the zk-world to make Ethreum L1 more aligned to L2 or even with enshrined zk-rollups. In this talk, I will explain the worst performance opcodes when comparing its GAS cost Vs zk-resources cost in Polygon zkEVM in typical transactions (erc20 trannsfers, swaps, ...)

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.

Decentralizing access to Ethereum utilizing Ethereum's Portal Networks

Accessing Ethereum in a decentralized way has a high barrier to entry for reasons of cost (hardware), knowledge, or time. These problems cause users to rely on centralized providers. A few examples on how Ethereum's Portal Networks will tackle these centralizing forces - EIP 4444's + Portal History will allow nodes to maintain current day RPC, well saving 800GB of storage. - Portal State will allow wallets to use a decentralized backend instead of a centralized backend like Infura.

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).

Anti-Correlation Penalties

Anti-Correlation Penalties is a proposal to allow the penalties for missed attestations to vary over slots, based on the number of missed attestations in the respective slots. This is great for non-correlated parties such as solo stakers and improves decentralization, fault tolerance and diversity in the validator set.

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.
