Note on the Interview of @LucaNetz at @pudgypenguins
Expansion to Physical World & L2
• 1 million toy sold on Walmart with $10M revenue
• Live on Target soon
• L2 using @frame_xyz tech will be ready by EOY
Pudgy to 200 $ETH
• Multiple projects will reach 100 $ETH FP this cycle
• Pudgy will lead the rally hitting 200 $ETH
• Memecoin takes some market share of NFT for sure, but when ETH rises the interest will shine NFT again
Social Strategy
• Secured massive presense on TikTok & Facebook
• Prepping partnerships with Telegram and integration with Line & Kakao, which are the biggest Tech platforms in South Korea
• Value is in the community and users, not in tech. Tech is a just supporting role. Facebook could replicate tech of Instargram fastly, but they bought the platform itself
Food for thought:
There has been expansion from app to infra such as @dYdX, @BuildOnCyber, @Galxe, etc. which is primarily expansion to appchain
What matters now is how @AbstractChain can make breakthrough in the consumer blockchain, not an appchain
If the team delievers perfectly as they did in the toy space, it will be the massive success of entire industry
ANNOUNCING: THE NEW ARKHAM API
Today we’re unveiling our full-fledged Intel API based on enhancements we’ve made throughout our Pilot Program.
The new Arkham API is the most advanced in the world for on-chain data and analytics.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the $LIT development team has been drafted into military service in Iran 🇮🇷.
As a result, development on $LIT will be halted and the project will be abandoned.
Thank you to everyone who supported the vision.
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 soon™.
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:
→ fast L1: fast UX, via short slots and finality in seconds
→ gigagas L1: 1 gigagas/sec (10K TPS), via zkEVMs and real-time proving
→ teragas L2: 1 gigabyte/sec (10M TPS), via data availability sampling
→ post quantum L1: durable cryptography, via hash-based schemes
→ 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 Hegotá 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.
