@ethstaker advocating for independent stakers and Ethereum

[hanniabu.eth (Ξ, α) @hanni_abu]

The discussion on an Ethereum issuance change is growing, but there's a lot of one-sided takes. I've developed https://t.co/plfpLClnkv to help navigate this discussion, as well as others, in a neutral and balanced way.

There's 3 paths for moving forward:
- change issuance
- don't change issuance
- wait and revisit later

The site maps out arguments for/against an issuance change as well as counterarguments for each to help develop an informed assessment about the tradeoffs of each path.

Ethstaker will have Community Call #66 to talk about Fast Finality!

Why does finality matter and what does slow finality cost stakers today? What's being done about it?

We'll have @benjaminion_xyz, @robsaltini, @Butta_eth, and others.

When: Wednesday June 3 @ 15:00 UTC

Tune in and ask questions in the chat!

If we ship FOCIL (EIP-7805), Frame Transactions (EIP-8141), Keyed Nonces (EIP-8250) and Recent Roots (EIP-8272) in Hegota, we get native, trustless, censorship resistant private transactions on Ethereum next year.

Please take 1 minute and watch this clip from Andreas Antonopoulos at ETHDenver 2019

The exact moment Andreas is warning about, where moloch tries to turn Ethereum into corposlop, is here

We need the courage to resist it

@drjasper_eth @austincampbell @hosseeb lol, ok analogies only! 😂

always funny to me how people love this format, how many times I have heard it ... when amazon was growing it was "it's a bookstore but online", when google was growing "it's ask jeeves but better" ...

harder to appreciate when something's new

[Jonathan | jonathanmeyer.eth 🦇🔊 @jwmeyer]

good post. worth noting "CROPS" is kind of messy from an acronym standpoint. As they originally wrote it, it's:
- Censorship Resistance
- Open Source
- Privacy
- Security

your list is close-ish but good to clarify as they have important meanings.

I'm not an acronym fan because they tend to dilute meaning through mental shortcuts and foster an "in the know" mindset.

A personal request to fill out the @ethStaker Staking Survey 🙏

You have one more day before it closes for this year!

Meant for anyone (staker or not!):

The 2026 Ethereum Staking Survey is now open!

Any type of staker or even non-stakers are called to respond here:
https://t.co/ToBHaOkOdZ

Thank you for helping us collect a current snapshot of the staking landscape and community sentiment. These surveys help show where advocacy efforts are needed or whether existing efforts are making an impact.

Who's starting an Ethereum-centric podcast to highlight new startups and give them some spotlight?

Not established ones everyone has already heard of, new ones pulled from the shadows

Talk about the app/business, where it's at, what the plans are, maybe even screenshare, show the interface, and take it for a test drive etc

We need something that helps support new builders

[Jonathan | jonathanmeyer.eth 🦇🔊 @jwmeyer]

[EthStaker 🦇🔊 @ethStaker]

~ we're halfway into this year's Staking Survey collection period ~

If you haven't yet, please complete it now! ☑️

Should only take 5-10 mins ... plus any time you want to take writing free form comments ✍️🙏

[EthStaker 🦇🔊 @ethStaker]

Ethstaker's @jwmeyer shares takeaways from EthCC[9] from @EthCC, and a summary of the talks at the Staking Track stage with video links are within.

Thanks to all who came and contributed to the Staking Track talks in Cannes!

[Jonathan | jonathanmeyer.eth 🦇🔊 @jwmeyer]

To keep the conversation going, do the 2026 Staking Survey I mentioned earlier.

What do you want people advocating for stakers and working on staking to know or do?

What do you care about?

It's for all from professionals to anyone just curious about staking.

[Jonathan | jonathanmeyer.eth 🦇🔊 @jwmeyer]

back from from @EthCC 2026! here's some of my takeaways

- Ethereum in-protocol staking as a product has been very well built, supported, and marketed all while instilling a real sense of purpose and community. What other parts of the ecosystem can learn and benefit from this kind of approach?
- There's lots of quality research, upgrades, and projects happening on Ethereum that embody the principles of censorship resistance, open source software, privacy, and security. Those should be supported and I think emphasizing those principles is good.
- EthCC is a really well run conference. @bettina_boon @jdetychey The "in-side event" format at the Palais was a strong hybrid format for the @ethStaker Staking Track stage, the AV teams were great, and it all worked. Highly recommend this for any organizers or conferences considering a side-event presence that would like to also be at the main venue.
- So many good talks at the Ethstaker Staking Track stage. Check out the whole program's recordings (see the tweets following this one). The Staking Strawmap from @drakefjustin packed the room and covered what stakers specifically can expect in a Lean Ethereum world (https://t.co/nNJtWbd8BU). Lots to digest there and from all the talks in the lineup.
- A healthy mix of side events to complement the main venue but not too overwhelming and Cannes is a great walkable town for this kind of setup. The @blockspaceforum was particularly good.
- People should make their voices heard when those mechanisms are offered and it was great to have several present. From the Issuance Forum to the still-live Ethstaker Staking Survey (extra tweet on this below) ... make your voice heard when given the opportunity.
- Cannes is indeed awesome. The sense of community and hospitality in the French Riviera renewed my sense for what "community" can mean in a building ecosystem and how it interacts with mutual respect in the world.
- These events build on and talk to each other in useful ways. Multiple times people mentioned the Staking Gathering and EthProofs in Buenos Aires and the evolving state of conversations and development since then. Which makes me excited for @EFDevcon later this year, excited to bring learnings and continue the work in Mumbai.
- Lastly, the @PlasticOdyssey was really cool, thank you for showing me and the other opening night winners around the vessel and the good work you're doing to improve and empower communities. Your storytelling ability as a nonprofit about a technical mission-driven community effort also hit home for me!
