The verkle advantage

Duration: 00:25:43

Speaker: Guillaume Ballet

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

This talk provides a comprehensive overview of the achievements by the stateless development effort, over the past year. It will explore some of the discoveries we made while implementing verkle trees, that improve the user and developer experience of Ethereum.

Everything you need to know about state expiry

State growth is a ticking time bomb for Ethereum, yet concrete solutions remain elusive. While statelessness offers promise, it doesn't address the root cause. Enter state expiry – a compelling answer to our growing state problem. In this talk, I'll dive into the analysis of Ethereum's state growth problem down to the key-value pair level, the evolution of state expiry proposals, and the latest research on Ethereum's state expiry solutions.

Ewasm: Past, Present, Future

Starting with a brief introduction, we explain the challenges, design directions, and the work done in the last 12 months. We conclude with a roadmap of Ewasm. The session will consist of four parts: 1. Introduction 2. Speed, Size, and Extensibility – a honest report of Wasm in Ethereum (aka "The Benchmarking Report") 3. Is Wasm suitable for blockchain? This part will explain the changes (if any) needed for Wasm, questions relevant to blockchain, and solutions developed and proposed. 4. Roadmap

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.

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.

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).

Emilie - Making sure EOF is done right

We present Emilie. Emilie is designed to ensure the correct implementation of the EVM Object Format (EOF) by testing compilers and execution clients. It re-executes mainnet transactions using EOF bytecode instead of original bytecode, comparing results and performance with the original execution. Emilie tests interactions between EOF and legacy contracts using real data. It supports recompilation for Solidity and Vyper, enabling it to find bugs across compilers and execution clients.

EVM Object Format (EOF): Managing the Bytecode Chaos

Currently, EVM bytecode, while being powerful and simple, is lacking structure. This leads to many complexities when introducing new EIPs and maintaining backwards compatibility. In this talk, we illustrate some use cases of the EVM Object Format (EOF). Next, we provide a quick overview of the main changes introduced by the EOF and related EIPs, along with code examples. Finally, we discuss potential benefits and drawbacks that could arise with the introduction of EOF

Protec and Attac: Programmatic Execution Layer Consensus Tests

We'll give an overview of Ethereum Execution Spec Tests (EEST), the new Python framework used since Shanghai to generate test vectors for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) implementations. By generating tests programmatically this modular framework allows test cases to be readily parametrized and dynamically executed against clients on live networks. It tightly integrates with the Ethereum Execution Layer Specification (EELS) and could potentially be used across the L2 EVM ecosystem.
