Credibly neutral infrastructure >> proprietary infrastructure!
It's the same reason Ethereum L1 is the preeminent crypto public good - EPGi is bringing that same ethos to L2 and more...

Why EPGi?
Because an open, credibly neutral, public goods platform has tremendous advantages over building on corporate, insider or VC infrastructure (either L1 or L2!)
EPGi is 100% community owned by the Ethereum and EPGi communities.

ATOM always had minimal traction. Their "reinvention" was Cosmos Hub, a failed would-be eth clone.
In contrast, Ethereum L1 has half to two-thirds market share of all app capital, RWAs, defi tvl, and active loans.
L2s aren't "dying" - see Base, Arb, World, Sony, Robinhood L2, zksync, many more.
I thought you were somebody who knew what he was talking about or told the truth or both. What the hell is this post?
Saylor sold 32 $BTC to "prove it had value" and he did indeed prove Bitcoin had 20% less value than expected so I'd say that was a successful experiment
What if the only thing we have to do for the bull market to return is send ADA to less than a penny
After 10 years, Cardano still under 1 transaction per second.
WAY UNDER.
This trash shouldn't be worth billions
Companies are like "we are spending all this money on AI but we don't know what the devs are even doing with it." Let me answer that for you: They're working on their personal side projects.
I've been saying this. I really like formal verification but it's very important that @ethereum doesn't rely on blindly on formal verification.
Formal verification will catch more bugs, like Rust catches more bugs on compilation time than Python, but please let's not drink the kool aid.
If any 1 of these guys are bullposting a coin, you're not early. If all 3 of them are bullposting a coin, you're *definitely* not early. If all 3 of them are bullposting a coin and said coin is already up more than 10x, and you still buy in, you probably need to find a new hobby.
Sentiment couldn't be worse, everyone is dying
Usually these are the times in which I'd get ready to buy a lot
But nowadays I'd have to worry about 5 Saylor ponzis 100 ETFs and get AI exploits while doing it
Seems like such a hassle, give back the simple times
Most @ethereum blocks(~92%) depend on external relays the core protocol never built.
~92 percent of blocks pass through a small number of external relays before validators ever see them. That relay layer has no on-chain accountability.
The result:
> Relays become the de facto arbiter of which blocks get built.
> A relay can censor transactions by refusing to forward certain blocks with no protocol-level consequence.
> A single relay failure creates outsized risk across the entire network.
ePBS moves builder selection inside the protocol with a two-step commitment:
1. Commit phase: Builder submits a signed blinded bid/header (SignedExecutionPayloadBid). The proposer selects the best one and includes it in the beacon block (this locks in the choice and triggers unconditional payment deduction).
2. Reveal phase: Builder later broadcasts the full execution payload (and blobs). The protocol (via Payload Timeliness Committee/PTC and validity checks) verifies it.
What changes structurally:
> Builder selection becomes protocol-defined, not relay-defined.
> Relays lose their structural position as the censorship vector in the block pipeline.
> Validator-builder interaction is enforced at consensus level.
> Relays can still exist but stop being load-bearing.
Builder-level censorship remains a separate problem.
FOCIL addresses that by requiring validators to include a local inclusion list before a builder's block is accepted, removing the builder's unilateral control over transaction inclusion.
MEV-Boost was a deliberate interim solution.
It now processes the majority of Ethereum blocks, running off-chain auctions the protocol was never designed to govern. ePBS closes that and gives Ethereum's block production the same accountability standard it applies to everything else👇
zcash:native is dead
ethereum:native is coded
CROPS will win
Cypherpunk will win
But it won't be zcash:native, and ethereum:native will wear that crown
zcash:native bulls be damned
Higher ethereum:native
