@brian_armstrong@zooko How about default a users account to not showing gambling content unless they enable it explicitly. It’s cool to give users the ability to choose, but sensible default settings are really important too.
@banteg@benjaminion_xyz@preston_vanloon should probably get even better after the glamsterdam fork. downloading data columns & executing payloads will no longer be on the attestation hot path
@Prometheus_The1@VitalikButerin From the comments it sounds like all you care about is ETH price and not the actual tech. To say EF has done nothing meaningful is an idiotic statement. Sometimes token price go up isn’t the only measuring stick.
Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH
Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy.
The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure.
Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation.
What we believe:
• We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person.
• We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum.
• We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone.
• We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them.
We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products.
Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future.
We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development.
We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong.
We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: [email protected]
⚠️ Lighthouse v8.2.0 is a high-priority release containing fixes for several security vulnerabilities, as well as optimisations and new features.
All beacon node users should upgrade as soon as practical. Validator client users should review the fee-recipient and graffiti changes below before upgrading.
This release also contains substantial Gloas preparation, Fulu data-availability networking improvements, and new standard API support.
@_Enoch eth core dev is a full time job, people need to paid a salary to work a full time job. btw most eth core devs are taking significiant pay cuts to commit full time to core development.
@_Enoch this linux comparison is so silly. what happens when theres a linux release with some bug or vulnerability? it gets patched. what happens in ethereum when an invalid block gets finalized? billions of dollars worth of ether is slashed. these are not the same risk profiels at all
@zachtratar@funcabbage@peter_szilagyi if what you're saying is true, we still have to trust that these corporations have our best interest in mind. these aren't elected entities, we didn't choose to give them control. you assume they will always act ethically. according to history, thats not a great assumption
PeerDAS without wasted traffic?
@daniel_knopik from our team walks through how partial data columns (EIP-8136) can drastically reduce bandwidth requirements for block publishing, improving viability for home stakers and other node operators.
