1/ Quick post-@EFDevcon update on EIP4844 (10-100x cheaper rollups).
TL;DR the effort came in with a bunch of momentum, ran multiple high impact working sessions during the conference, identified a few small spec changes, and is moving full speed ahead on implementation.
when the prices go down, people start working on new stuff that will fascinate you in coming years. New contract creation is the 8th biggest contributor to ETH burned.
One important corollary of this is better EIP 1559 performance (because fewer blocks bump up against the 2x limit). So far, the percentage of full blocks has dropped from ~20% to ~10%.

And we finalized!
Happy merge all. This is a big moment for the Ethereum ecosystem. Everyone who helped make the merge happen should feel very proud today.
