ETHEREUM APP DEVS:
If you want to test the Glamsterdam fork before it goes live on the testnets (Sepolia / Hoodi), devnet-7 is open for app developers to test!
We are getting v close to @ethereum's Glamsterdam fork being ready to ship!

True that. I think a good framework is to distinguish between:
* Exogenous MEV – induced by information external to the protocol, such as changes in CEX prices, prices on other chains, or other offchain information not yet reflected in the protocol state.
* Endogenous MEV – induced by the protocol state itself, such as imbalances between pools, available liquidations, or other imbalances internal to the protocol.
* Autogenous MEV (i.e., transaction-induced MEV) – induced when a transaction’s own execution creates or reveals a new public signal, such as a large repricing trade or other state transition.
Such a distinction is important for understanding the MEV landscape. Furthermore, we must analyze MEV in the context of the “information ingress boundary”, the point at which new information enters onchain as the builder commits to a new block.
I covered this extensively in the LUCID EIP:

Glamsterdam devnet-7 is live. More progress on the road to testnet 🚢
On the CL side:
- EIP-7688 progressive containers
- Updated payload deadlines and builder lifecycle parameters
On the EL side:
- EIP-2780 and 8037 → state-dependent charges moved from intrinsic gas to runtime, with updated account-creation and calldata-floor accounting
- EIP-7928 and 8038 → BAL and SSTORE access-ordering fixes
- EIP-8282 → finalized builder deposit and exit contracts, limits, fees, and disable controls
Onward.
We've been quietly working on this for a long time, and today we finally get to share it 🙌

What is the best place to host community discussions?
- TG is not organized
- Discourse is ok, but kinda clunky
- Discord is so 2021
- Status ?
- Holders Vote?
- What else?
We're proud to join the new Encrypt the Mempool Coalition!
Alongside industry leaders, we're pushing to integrate an EIP to encrypt the mempool in Ethereum's I* Hardfork - to stop toxic MEV & real-time censorship in a decentralized & credibly neutral way.
Join the coalition 👇

Introducing NEO’s 25 Degrees of Freedom, tendon-driven hands — nearing or surpassing human-level dexterity, strength, speed, and reliability.
For seventy years, robotics worked around the hand problem. The humanoid bet is the reverse: it lives or dies at the fingertips.
Native UTXOs on Ethereum.
Payments should be one-shot objects, not permanent state.
Bitcoin got this right. Ethereum can bring the same idea to payments: prove existence from history, keep only a spent bit in state, and reduce permanent state by ~99.8%.
