One-vote-round vs two-round BFT consensus, and the trade-offs behind optimistic finality by @zksecurityXYZ
A reading recommendation for everyone interested in recent consensus advances!

This one is more on the technical side, it's a first pass annotating the Gloas Fork until @benjaminion_xyz catches up.
Mostly for client devs that are asking why this or that was included instead of how the spec works.

Just wrote a post on LeanSig. If you are interested in Lean Ethereum and post-quantum signature schemes, feel free to take a look: https://t.co/sKbuJyb0Po
Very thankful to @tcoratger who came up with a great review making the post 1000% better.
@ziemannzk@tcoratger Interesting! I mean both these cases actually because I saw them the same but now I see the difference. So believe the rotation after run out is possible, but what about rotation if something happened with the key?
At the slot https://t.co/iDHAd82qCG I found 1279 validators sitting with >1 ETH above their EB, waiting for less than 0.25 ETH to finally level up.
As example validators 2084705 or 804940: they need just ~0.01 ETH more to increase their EB by 1 ETH.
Ethereum validator effective balance has built-in hysteresis. To go up — need +1.25 ETH above current EB. To go down — just -0.25 ETH below.
This creates a fun edge case: validators can sit with >1 ETH above their effective balance and still have their EB 1 ETH lower.
Ream and @zeamETH achieved devnet1 interop! New report of @qdrvm_io also achieving interop just now!
The first Lean Consensus devnet that integrates post-quantum signature signing & verification.
Next step: scale up # of validators and performance baseline for future devnets!
Introducting: The Lab
We've rebuilt our Ethereum network visualization tool from scratch to make verifying networks simple and accessible.
Featuring:
- Modern design
- Curated data views that can't be found elsewhere

@depredate_uas@P2Pvalidator it doesn't reduce ETH entry queue timings (it cannot be done), but it's pre-deployed validators with our own funding and clients can use them to top-up which is much faster than waiting an activation of new validators
Timing Games in Solana: IBRL Prisoner's dilemma
Recently, the topic of timing games has sparked intense discussion within the Solana community. This phenomenon results in negative consequences for the network overall. While the operational downsides (e.g. instability in block production) and centralization effects are widely acknowledged, I’d like to shed light on the darker financial side of the story.
