Proposer commitments to accelerate Ethereum. Enabling sub-second preconfirmations.
Joined May 2024
1/ Mainnet Genesis. We’re thrilled to announce Mainnet Genesis - proposer commitments are here to accelerate Ethereum!. This launch kickstarts Node Operator adoption via early registration and restaking into @symbioticfi and @eigenlayer. A new era for Ethereum starts now.

bolt • Account Abstraction (AA). In our new research piece, we explore the compatibility of inclusion preconfirmations with EIP-7702. While it’s still early, the future of fast and frictionless UX on Ethereum lies in the combination of UserOps and preconfirmations.
New article! We explore how EIP-7702 and inclusion preconfirmations, powered by bolt, unlock smart account capabilities with sub-second tx confirmation times. We provide intuition about both innovations and show how they can seamlessly integrate.

5/ Proposer Commitments. Under the hood, bolt enables proposers to make credible statements about their blockspace. Proposers flexibly decide what inputs to include in their blocks and what actions they take in response to these inputs, all in an MEV-boost compatible mechanism.

Pricing preconfs, by @NethermindEth.
Pricing remains among the most challenging tasks when new financial primitives are introduced. @f_casey_fierro @ConorMcMenamin9 presents here a real pricing solution for inclusion preconfs. It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with you on this one!.
