Today Verkle + Tomorrow ZK = Everything Stateless, Everything Lightclient

Duration: 00:24:24

Speaker: Gajinder Singh, Jason Chaskin

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

Statelessness could be one of the biggest unlocks in the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing the protocol to scale massively without giving away control and access to big entities, all while providing some real 'teeth' to the light client ecosystem. In this talk, we’ll see how stateless clients enable immediate scalability and decentralization benefits, and how combining statelessness with ZKing the state transitions unlocks Ethereum’s long-term vision.

Native Account Abstraction in Pectra, rollups and beyond: combining EOF, EIP-7702 and RIP-7560 preview

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.

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.

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).

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.

A mobile-based light-client solution

After PoS Merge, there was a bit of a lag in Light-client related work. In response, we developed a mobile-based Light-client to help more devices natively join the Ethernet network.

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?

What is the status of ePBS and its future iterations

We will go over the implementation and research status of ePBS (EIP-7732) and the future iterations and mechanisms it enables.We will describe in detail the main benefits to the protocol that are not directly related to any PBS system. We will showcase the tradeoffs that are present on each design decision and how the separation of validation between the consensus and execution layer in fact frees research with less technical debt and more independent mechanisms for future upgrades.
