I am flabbergasted.
U. Mahadev first finds how to do classical homomorphic encryption on quantum circuits, uses this to generate provably random numbers and then finds an incredibly clever way to verify quantum computations with a classical computer.
Incredible time for Ethereum's L2 scaling, all within ~1 month:

Annualized, this competes with some of the biggest AAA games out there like Dota, Fortnite, etc. At this rate, it could soon become the game with the most revenue in the world.
I know all the rage is about LSD, but I would like to propose an alternative plan to reduced pooled staking:
Reduce the required ETH from 32 ETH down to 1 over the next 8 years.
I name this the Ethereum Halving

Even if the US government was able to shutdown every single ETH node in the US, there would still remain about 8,000 nodes around the world, which is more than the total number of ETH nodes we had a few months ago.

After more than 3 years and close to 1,000,000 PvP matches, we are finally going to launch Skyweaver on
@0xPolygon
mainnet on November 25th.
Thanks for everyone that helped testing and played our game so far <3
The Final Testing Phase is coming to an end, and it’s almost time to move to our next phase: Soft Launch! You’ve all been patiently waiting for this moment, & we are thrilled to announce that our Soft Launch will start on NOV 25!
Read all the details 👇
As 2021 closes, let's review some numbers for
@SkyweaverGame
since its launch on
@0xPolygon
a month ago.
Game is still limited access only (not for long), but there are some interesting numbers that surprised me, especially around our AMM for ERC-1155 tokens, Niftyswap.

After a good amount of research, we decided to launch

Here's a few reasons as to why we picked Matic;

why is the Luna community so focused on whether it was attacked or not? If you design a crypto economic system that can die to attacks, it *will* die.
Just accept that it was a poorly designed system and own up to your mistake.
@WatcherGuru
Terra UST attack... let's focus on who orchestrated the attacked that wiped out the token holders. This narrative that somehow it organically "crashed" is almost as bad as the Covid narrative.
Sending USDT costs 2$ in gas fees on zkEVM, even though blocks are empty. That's almost the same cost as Eth mainnet.
Is it because calldata is posted on L1 and that's very expensive pre-4844?

Proposing adding an LRU cache at consensus level for properly pricing disk i/o. This makes state growth much less of a concern, allowing for significant gas limit increase for L1 and L2s
Idea from discussion with

@gakonst
and
@Agusx1211
ERC721A from

is a significant improvement for reducing minting gas cost, but it's possible to do better.
With balance packing, we can reduce the minting cost of NFTs by another ~34%.

This is probably the most important chart to keep an eye on for STEPN.
To ensure that the ponzi lasts for as long as possible, STEPN can dynamically adjust # of daily invites such that there is no sudden spike in demand and the SPU ratio is held.
However this won't work forever
Downtimes like these are usually not fundamental failures and can be fixed. It could happen to Ethereum as well, perhaps when we move to ETH2.0, so be careful laughing at others.
Awesome adults of Twitter, how do you deal with stress?
I have someone I care very much about that fears making the slightest mistake, even though everyone around them think they are amazing. Any book that you would recommend? Podcast? Types of therapy? Habits?
Pretty irresponsible that NFT drops still use a first-come-first-serve model.
Use Dutch auctions! Takes 10 more mins to write. No gas wars, more money to the project, less money to miners, no pitch fork mobs because of failed txs.
And please, optimize your sale contracts.
EIP-3382: Hardcoded Block Gas Limit
Hardcoding the block gas limit because it's a critical parameter that should require network consensus and not be dictated by miners.
If EIP-1559 was live, the current ETH daily supply change would be -13,380 ETH. Averaged over a year, this would result in an annual deflation of 4%.
Now imagine with ETH demand for PoS, 64 shards at full capacity and reduction in block rewards 🙃.
Stepn is using the same economic model as Axie where shoes are axies and GST is SLP. You earn GST by running, you burn GST by breeding shoes and you sell your new shoes or try to earn from them.
I don't see how it doesn't end up with a similar hyperinflation as Axie experienced
📉 We are now almost at -7,000 ETH a day, if EIP-1559 was implemented.
If this was an average, it would result in a yearly deflation of the ETH supply by about 2%.
Based on the last 24h worth of transactions, the daily issuance of ETH would be about -1056 ETH per day 📉. That's right, the total supply would decrease.
Made a

It would be great if the person I delegate my $UNI to had to submit their votes via a timelock contract. This way, if I disagree with their vote on a given issue, I can withdraw my delegation and vote myself.
This would bring us very close to a liquid democracy.
EIP-4844 is everyone’s new favorite EIP, reducing by orders of magnitude the tx costs on rollups.
Now is the time for rollups team to unite and do the necessary research instead of waiting on core devs to do it.

For something like this, too, there’s a ton of prototyping, benchmarking, etc. to do before we make a final decision, so if others can do that, it helps a lot to speed up the decision making process
A PR to merge EIP-1559 in Geth's master branch was opened yesterday and is now being reviewed.
Have not reviewed myself yet, but it doesn't look like a small PR at first glance.
I want more contracts to start using a stateless design.
Want to run an NFT sale?
Put all sale parameters (price, isActive, maxSupply, etc) in a struct, hash it and *only* store the hash. Clients would then pass these when buying and they would be validated against the hash.

We are looking to fill many roles at

ahead of our mainnet launches.
♦️ We will give 0.5 ETH to any successful referral.
🎁 We will distribute a few limited edition
@SkyweaverGame
gold cards among those that❤️ and/or retweet this tweet.
Hard numbers still pending, but this is very plausible. Near 60% of miners now use Flashbots, which pushes gas price auctions off-chains.
Bots don't see their txs failing when losing an MEV tx race, which means a lot less gas is wasted.
Another fun one:
@SwerveFinance

This is the owner's address:
I wonder how many people overpay with the new EIP-1559
@MetaMask
UI. Feels like it uses a ridiculous priority fee every 2-3 tx and I have to manually dial it back to 1.5.
Feature request: Let me set a default priority fee and max base fee so I don't have to always change them.
I just published 'The Collapse of FairWin’s ~$125m Ponzi Scheme' in which we detail the journey behind the rise and fall of FairWin's fraudulent project.
People are excited to make UNI/ETH pool eligible for
@UniswapProtocol
rewards. I will vote No.
We should use UNI rewards to steal markets from competitors like Curve and centralized exchanges, not to create a short term pump that will quickly dissipate.
Have to say, having to vote on 5 proposals and asking me to delegate my ENS with the claim tx is a really clever design.
I hope projects with governance are paying attention. This will hopefully lead to a lot less gov tokens being stuck in inactive wallets.
The
@zksync
integration in
@gitcoin
is impressively simple.
In a single tx, you will deposit your DAI in zksync and distribute it to all the recipients via zk-sync, costing very little gas no matter the amount of recipients specified.
It's rare that I say this, but I disagree with a few statements Vitalik made on smart contract wallets and I think he left out some very important considerations as well;

Many people I saw were nostalgic of the first ETH hackathons, which were much smaller than this ETHDenver.
200 people vs 15,000 is not the same vibe, but this change is necessary for the global adoption of web3. Let’s be grateful for how far we’ve got.
Safe travels home frens
~1 week ago, I started working on a smart contract that allow you to augment any ERC-20 with native meta-transaction functions, allowing you to transfer your tokens without using ETH for gas (+ other cool methods).
Not done yet, but it's progressing.
Looks like we are still very early in the
@Uniswap
V3 LP game.
I was expecting to see efficient rebalancing early on, but some big positions have no interest in rebalancing it seems (there are many good reasons not to).
If ETH keeps dropping, some LPs will earn mad fees.
ERC-1724 - zkERC20: Confidential Token Standard
A common interface for fungible tokens that want to implement confidential transaction functionalities via zero-knowledge proofs and a corresponding Cryptography Engine (see ERC-1732).
Reducing calldata cost by 10x means Ethereum based rollups can roughly execute 10x more txns, since the primary bottleneck of rollups *is* calldata.
Louis is suggesting we may be able to safely reduce calldata cost by a further 5-10x.
Following
@PhABCD
suggestion, I'm fairly positive we can push EIP 2028 further by a large factor
I have revisited EIP2028 analysis and the new data converged towards calldata having little impact on uncle rates.
@peter_szilagyi
@tkstanczak
@TimBeiko
Let make rollups scale again
Did you know 4337 adds ~60,000 gas to every transaction, in addition to the already more expensive AA transactions?
Situation is even worst on L2s, where calldata is going to be priced higher.
Did you know 4337 forbids AA wallets being signers of other AA wallets?
Forget building user friendly multisigs, EOAs will always be needed under 4337 reign
I made a

Debugging Ethereum transactions is not always easy. Fortunately, I recently discovered

See for yourself:
More than 3 years later, ERC-1271 if finally finalized.
This standard is needed for dapps to properly support smart contract based wallets and accounts, which are incredibly important for the future of Ethereum’s UX.

🐉 Serving gamers first and foremost.

not sure why I see hate on Polygon surging up now and then, but wanted to say that I love polygon and the team behind it
Polygon has done more to cement the EVM as the winning ecosystem than 99.9% of CT
If you are doing a decently large trade on a dex, might as well put gas price to 1 Gwei and wait for a Flashbot to pick it up and sandwich you. You will be sandwitched anyway, so might as well not pay gas fees for it.
The Ponzi Scheme contains critical vulnerabilities that put all funds at risk.
Spread knowledge (especially in Asia) 🙏 Users need to withdraw their funds and stop interacting with the contract ASAP.
Details on the exploits will be published soon.
10 days after being reported to the Geth team, a fix has been merged 🎊!
Hopefully we will see an impact on gas prices once miners start using the Geth version including this change. The backrunning bots tracked on Dune consumed 500B gas with spam txs.
Turns out the numbers are concerning. Due to this Geth feature, ~$2.5m in gas fees was spent by backrunning bots, which is almost 40,000 blocks filled with spam txs.
Their activity exploded in a last few months. Yesterday alone, these bots used close to 10% of all block space.
I've been a fan of
@UniswapExchange
for sometime now and last weekend I decided to re-write the contracts in Solidity instead of Vyper. All tests are now passing and next step will be to do some fuzz testing to ensure both implementations are equivalent.
I'm primarily impressed by how accurate and cool the new
@etherscan
's Transaction Actions section is, allowing anyone to understand easily what's going on in a given transaction.
Excellent post on a draft EIP by
@VitalikButerin
and co. on reducing calldata cost to increase rollups throughput.
There will be a call this Friday involving alternative calldata cost reduction EIPs, so make sure add a reminder, should be fun:
🍿🍿🍿
You may have seen the draft EIP to reduce calldata gas costs. This will lead to an upto ~5x reduction in transaction fees on rollups.
For the next few days, I'll exclusively discuss this on Twitter.
Fun fact about Solidity's optimizer:
The # of runs you specify when enabling the optimizer is about how many times you expect your contracts to be interacted with, not how many times the optimizer passes over the code.
Higher # of runs => Cheaper txs, but bigger bytecode
More than happy to help out any Solana project that is interested in migrating their stack to an EVM chain like

,
@arbitrum
,
@optimismFND
, etc.
Send me a DM and we can chat about steps involved
Interested in the governance war between
@iearnfinance
and CRV holder.
Strong resistance in the CRV community to a change proposed by yearn. Vaults are seen a bad for CRV holders since they are programmed to mass harvest and dump CRV.
This is why full blocks are unavoidable on all chains, no matter the throughput. So long as there is a *tiny* profit to be made, users will eventually fill any block space.

I hope you have more slides, because this is mid
1. Validators, like miners, don't choose the rules; nodes do
2. PoS is less of a plutocracy then PoW. With PoS, $1 always has the same weight. With PoW, you have economies of scale and privileged miners
