Helping to drive @Commit_Boost + @Fabric_ethereum | Prev: Investing @BHDigitalAssets & Digital Assets OG @Goldmansachs
Joined May 2022
Most fun I have had in my career, stewarding this alongside a community that I believe in & care deeply about! Thank you to all the teams that helped get @Commit_Boost to this milestone. If you are not involved, reach out! Grants, testing, feedback, and countless other things!.
1/ We are excited to share that Commit-Boost is headed towards audit and production! As an open-source, public good, this could not have been possible without many teams across the Ethereum Community. Thank you for all your time and effort! See below π

Go based. It is simple. - Capture your congestion fees.- Focus on users/functionality not on paying Chainlink or getting Jeremy to deploy USDC.- Deploy once, get network effects of Ethereum and other based rollups.- Let the feds knock on the L1 validator's door, not yours.

Commit-Boost isnβt just about returning autonomy back to the proposer, but equally as importantβbuilt for the whole Ethereum community, including. π .- *All* types of stakersβhome, solo, LST, LRT, NOsβyou name it this is for you.- Open to *all* to help build.- Open to *all*.
Our logo was inspired by the Citizens Band Radio, a radio for one-to-many bidirectional voice communication among individuals. Commit-Boost is not just for LSTs / NOs. Commit-Boost is built for the voice of solo stakers to be heard throughout Ethereum's block construction.

8) While this is not a Titan or EigenLayer effort, I want to thank @kubimensah and @0xkydo for their early contributions, conversations, and time. The goal for Commit-Boost is community ownership, without this, the idea of Commit-Boost cannot, and perhaps should not, succeed.

Support the builder who isnβt censoring. Looking forward to Titanβs next phase where they will open the relay standard they are developing. If itβs half as good as their ability to build blocks, Ethereum will be better for it.
It seems like our intentions for the Titan Relay have been misunderstood so I wanted to reiterate that our relay will not be vertically integrated. Itβs designed to be open and accessible to all builders. π§΅π.

Return autonomy to all proposers. Be a unified standard all can build on. Help grow a community that all can be part of. No token. No monetization. No venture funding. This isnβt the easy way to build @Commit_Boost, however, from my perspective, the only healthy way to try it.
"Can you create more decentralized block building marketplaces. we're starting to see this work happening around @Commit_Boost. if this is done in the right way then that also becomes an extra protocol way in which you can separate out the authorities within staking." π.~.

@mteamisloading The gist is that Lido NOs can offer preconfs in line with a soon-to-be-released policy that balances experimentation with protecting stakers and Ethereum, making Lido an early mover in that field. It was covered in the ReGOOSE update

This not about value accrual. This is about what Ethereum can do for rollups, not what rollups can do for Ethereum.
I'm extremely bullish on ETH when based rollups are adopted in early 2026. CT wants you to believe that nobody uses Ethereum, but that's not true. The activity has moved to the L2s, Base is leading the way and there are more L2 users than ever before. Until based rollups are.

We are still in the first few innings. Walled gardens will not win. It is simple--going based is a positive sum effort with no walls. You truly benefit your neighboring based rollup and they truly provide a benefit to you.
seeing a lot of posts saying βL2s are the reason for ETHβs underperformanceβ.while thereβs some truth to that, itβs way more nuanced than just L2 = bad. the real issue was moving away from the L1 as a shared state machine and spinning up a bunch of general purpose L2 walled.
