1 week allocation window this epoch โณ
Will see how much of the 100 ETH matching pool gets distributed based on funder turnout and the proper QF calculation. Epoch 12 was the first after migration and had a big 200 ETH matching pool but only about 41% of that went to projects.
@bettercallzaal For the yahoo redraft? Will do. You're 1st up, waiting to hear from 3 managers. Will set a concrete deadline at some point.
Best Ball lg on sleeper we have 6 teams, would love 8 so can def hop in there. Pretty solid slow draft interface and there isn't any in-season management.
Can join the Sleeper best ball league via this link https://t.co/EoFRZwEkaX
Redraft might have 1 or two spots, waiting to hear back from a couple returning managers
Hit me @bbroad25 and u/the-a-word up if you have any questions or ideas!

Last call for the @EVMavericks fantasy football best ball slow draft ๐
0.01 ETH buyin, Exact payout/public goods funding cut depends on how many teams we end up with but the redraft puts 12.5% into our @OctantApp vault with yield directed towards @ProtocolGuild

Introducing strawmap, a strawman roadmap by EF Protocol.
Believe in something. Believe in an Ethereum strawmap.
Who is this for?
The document, available at strawmap[.]org, is intended for advanced readers. It is a dense and technical resource primarily for researchers, developers, and participants in Ethereum governance. Visit ethereum[.]org/roadmap for more introductory material. Accessible explainers unpacking the strawmap will follow soonโข.
What is the strawmap?
The strawmap is an invitation to view L1 protocol upgrades through a holistic lens. By placing proposals on a single visual it provides a unified perspective on Ethereum L1 ambitions. The time horizon spans years, extending beyond the immediate focus of All Core Devs (ACD) and forkcast[.]org which typically cover only the next couple of forks.
What are some of the highlights?
The strawmap features five simple north stars, presented as black boxes on the right:
โ fast L1: fast UX, via short slots and finality in seconds
โ gigagas L1: 1 gigagas/sec (10K TPS), via zkEVMs and real-time proving
โ teragas L2: 1 gigabyte/sec (10M TPS), via data availability sampling
โ post quantum L1: durable cryptography, via hash-based schemes
โ private L1: first-class privacy, via shielded ETH transfers
What is the origin story?
The strawman roadmap originated as a discussion starter at an EF workshop in Jan 2026, partly motivated by a desire to integrate lean Ethereum with shorter-term initiatives. Upgrade dependencies and fork constraints became particularly effective at surfacing valuable discussion topics. The strawman is now shared publicly in a spirit of proactive transparency and accelerationism.
Why the "strawmap" name?
"Strawmap" is a portmanteau of "strawman" and "roadmap". The strawman qualifier is deliberate for two reasons:
1. It acknowledges the limits of drafting a roadmap in a highly decentralized ecosystem. An "official" roadmap reflecting all Ethereum stakeholders is effectively impossible. Rough consensus is fundamentally an emergent, continuous, and inherent uncertain process.
2. It underscores the document's status as a work-in-progress. Although it originated within the EF Protocol cluster, there are competing views held among its 100 members, not to mention a rich diversity of non-EFer views.
The strawmap is not a prediction. It is an accelerationist coordination tool, sketching one reasonably coherent path among millions of possible outcomes.
What is the strawmap time frame?
The strawmap focuses on forks extending through the end of the decade. It outlines seven forks by 2029 based on a rough cadence of one fork every six months. While grounded in current expectations, these timelines should be treated with healthy skepticism. The current draft assumes human-first development. AI-driven development and formal verification could significantly compress schedules.
What do the letters on top represent?
The strawmap is organized as a timeline, with forks progressing from left to right. Consensus layer forks follow a star-based naming scheme with incrementing first letters: Altair, Bellatrix, Capella, Deneb, Electra, Fulu, etc. Upcoming forks such as Glamsterdam and Hegotรก have finalized names. Other forks, like I* and J*, have placeholder names (with I* pronounced "I star").
What do the colors and arrows represent?
Upgrades are grouped into three color-coded horizontal layers: consensus (CL), data (DL), execution (EL). Dark boxes denote headliners (see below), grey boxes indicate offchain upgrades, and black boxes represent north stars. An explanatory legend appears at the bottom.
Within each layer, upgrades are further organized by theme and sub-theme. Arrows signal hard technical dependencies or natural upgrade progressions. Underlined text in boxes links to relevant EIPs and write-ups.
What are headliners?
Headliners are particularly prominent and ambitious upgrades. To maintain a fast fork cadence, the modern ACD process limits itself to one consensus and one execution headliner per fork. For example, in Glamsterdam, these headliners are ePBS and BALs, respectively.
(L* is an exceptional fork, displaying two headliners tied to the bigger lean consensus fork. Lean consensus landing in L* would be a fateful coincidence.)
Will the strawmap evolve?
Yes, the strawmap is a living and malleable document. It will evolve alongside community feedback, R&D advancements, and governance. Expect at least quarterly updates, with the latest revision date noted on the document.
Can I share feedback?
Yes, feedback is actively encouraged. The EF Protocol strawmap is maintained by the EF Architecture team: @adietrichs, @barnabemonnot, @fradamt, @drakefjustin. Each has open DMs and can be reached at first.name@ethereum[.]org. General inquiries can be sent to strawmap@ethereum[.]org.
