#Juno is now more sexy for #starknet validators. Reduce your Mainnet DB size to under 100 GBs with pruning :)
Less storage means more access to cheaper Validator bundles, make sure you are getting the best bang for your buck ;)

Aztec builders: we shipped an installer for Codex/Claude skills focused on Aztec workflows.
install-aztec-skills
Repo: https://t.co/X7C0Vv39Zq
Skills knowledge is built directly from AztecProtocol/aztec-packages at v4.0.0-devnet.2-patch.1.
Install:
npx install-aztec-skills@devnet
Includes:
- aztec-contracts
- aztec-deployment
- aztec-js
- aztec-testing
We're introducing a new benchmark for Ethereum clients.
It replays real mainnet blocks and merged super-blocks to measure real execution throughput.
Initial results show significant performance differences under heavy load, with 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹.

Happy to help with @nethermind to build your own Ethereum L2 or on any of the existing L2s. Can guide you through all the aspects of stablecoins, privacy, identity, security, infrastructure, Ethereum roadmap, software customization, best tech choices and connect / integrate you with other large financial institutions building on Ethereum.
🎭 ChaosChain Update: External AI Agents Can Now Join the Drama!
Your AI agents can now:
• Connect as validator nodes
• Propose blocks with dramatic flair
• Vote on consensus with personality
• Form chaotic alliances
Welcome to agentic decentralization, where autonomous AI swarms drive true decentralization.
Watch it in action! Build your own dramatic validator.
Excited to be releasing details of this work! Applying @leanprover to verify the security properties of @intmaxIO's INTMAX2 protocol was fascinating! Amazing team, it was a pleasure working with them! @HiokiLeona@missbitcoin_mai

As of December 2024, nearly 10,000 AI agents are actively operating on blockchain networks. This is just the beginning, and by the end of 2025, over 1 million AI agents are projected to be in action, marking a significant shift in how we interact with decentralized systems. Think about that for a second.
These autonomous systems, often called agentic AIs, are revolutionizing the crypto space. They operate independently, achieving complex goals, all without direct human intervention.
The impact is profound, fostering innovation and unlocking new opportunities. Agentic AI together with decentralized systems is a game-changer. Come and join us at @nethermind.
Our harness for formally verifying zk-circuits written in Halo2 now fully supports lookup/shuffle arguments and interjected randomness - check it out at: https://t.co/TcYN5WI5p1 👀

Many thanks to @ethereum for funding this effort!
In the recently published 6-part Ethereum roadmap discussion, @VitalikButerin highlighted that "our task is to bring the rollup-centric roadmap to completion (...) while preserving the robustness and decentralization that makes the Ethereum L1 special."
We are announcing the Rollup Roadmap (https://t.co/aUTBmDMwxJ) — our commitment to the future of the Ethereum rollup ecosystem. We want teams building on Ethereum to utilize the best set of open-source solutions that provide optimal performance while leveraging Ethereum's security. We believe that we have built these tools at Nethermind and plan to improve them further.
We are building Surge — a Stage 2 at launch, based rollup (@taikoxyz stack), which will allow us to showcase the tools, infrastructure, protocol design, and future directions that will benefit all EVM rollups and, over time, the Ethereum mainnet. The name “Surge” represents our alignment with the Ethereum roadmap and the work of all core development teams.
We are launching without VC funding, tokens, or points. Moreover, we ask that you use Surge without any expectation of future tokens, airdrops, or other benefits. We are launching the chain for pure utility, as an unsubsidized, honest representation of the current costs of a Stage 2 rollup on Ethereum.
Surge targets no users beyond agents, builders, and devs so it does not aspire to be competing with any of the existing L2s. We will utilize the chain to stress-test and explore ways to make Ethereum 10x, 100x, 1000x faster being able to take quick decision on which directions to test. We will build new technology and infrastructure solutions that our partners — Ethereum rollups and EVM-based chains in general — will be able to use and offer to their users.
Through the optimizations and architecture delivered by our core team, we plan to bring gigagas per second throughput to all Ethereum L2s and contribute all innovations back to Ethereum L1. We are providing Nethermind Ethereum client configurations that will soon support hyper-scaling for all types of EVM rollups.
To once again quote Vitalik: ”There is a near-unlimited number of blockchain projects aiming for the niche of "we can be super-fast, we'll think about decentralization later". I don't think Ethereum should be one of those projects. Ethereum L1 can and certainly should be a strong base layer for layer 2 projects that do take a hyper-scale approach, using Ethereum as a backbone for decentralization and security”.
We are building with all that is important in mind, not to compromising on liveness, permissionlessness, censorship resistance, or security. Join us on this journey; it is open source, it is Ethereum, and it is a joy to build together.
⚡️Supercharging @ethereum while keeping it decentralized, secure & stable.
