You waited for them and here they are...
All the ETHconomics videos! A wonderful set of talks bringing the most knowledgeable ethconomists together. Let's discover them 🙌
Let's unpack!
Danksharding = not actually sharding (!), but a data + availability layer supporting massive bandwidth for Ethereum L2s. Improves upon the former "data sharding" design 🌱
Danksharding (feat. PBS + crList) is without doubt the most underreported, underrated and overlooked thing in crypto right now.
Were I still writing about this stuff, this is all I'd be writing about.
Proof of stake, fee markets/EIP-1559, rollups/L2... let's make cryptoeconomic sense of it all!
We are hosting a 1-day session to discuss all things Ethereum economics, at
@EFDevconnect
in Amsterdam.
Check out our call for talks and apply as a speaker!
We are very excited to announce our keynote speaker, Prof. Tim Roughgarden!
@Tim_Roughgarden
Tim will give us an update on EIP-1559 research, following his well-known analysis of the new Ethereum fee market mechanism.
Our event is tomorrow! We have an amazing line-up of speakers to dive into so many topics at the intersection of economics, consensus and of course, Ethereum 🦄
We hope you're as hyped as we are! A quick run-down of what you can expect 👇
🚨 Speaker Announcement! 🚨
@barnabemonnot
is speaking at ETHconomics!
He will present on the Principal-Agent problems at play in staking economics. By formalising existing constructions, Barnabe will provide thoughts on liquid staking and re-staking and everything in between.
🚨Speaker Announcement!🚨
@AndreaCanidio
will be speaking at ETHconomics in just over one week!
First, he will present how AMM design relates to sandwiches and arbitrage profits, then Andrea presents his recent paper that show both can be eliminated by clever AMM design!
🎥 Releasing batch 3 out of 4 of our talk recordings, this time all about the EIP-1559 fee market mechanism 🎥
Find out about the theory, the practice, and the future of this groundbreaking market 👇
Wow that was a lot! We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the talks and the discussions they prompted. Look no further for a peek into the next years of ETHconomics research!
You can find all our videos in the

🚨 Staking Economics panel 🚨
The panel features two speakers,
@brettpalatiello
and
@barnabemonnot
, joined by
@dankrad
and moderated by
@DavideCrapis
. Starting with a brief introduction, the panelists will then go into their area of expertise. There is room for audience Q&A!
🚨 Speaker Announcement! 🚨
@0x94305
is speaking at ETHconomics!
Even though significant progress has been made in understanding the economics of DEXs, many important questions remain. In his talk, Alex discusses some of these questions and speculates on the answers.
🚨 Speaker Announcement! 🚨
@DavideCrapis
is a speaker at ETHconomics!
His talk presents a practical framework to derive optimal dynamic fees with multiple resources. Next to the results of the framework, Davide presents practical case studies of EIP-1559 and EIP-4844.
Here is the Schedule for ETHconomics! Check our website for descriptions of each talk!
Registration starts at 13:00. Come to chat with other attendees and speakers! Talks start at 14:00 and end at 18:00.
ETHconomics will be in the Üsküdar rooms at the Istanbul Congress Center.
Today we are looking at "Sliding Window Challenge Process for Congestion Detection", by
@ayeletmz
@SarahAzouvi
@stonecoldpat0
and
@Avivz78
The problem is important for applications and L2s which rely on the inclusion of a transaction before the expiry of some challenge period.
PBS = third-party builders compete for providing the best block of transactions to the next proposer. Allows home 🏡 stakers to capture as much of the economic value of their block space as possible, trustlessly and in protocol!
Save the date(s)! Devconnect is scheduled to take place in Amsterdam between 18-25 April 2022.
Check out today's post for news on the schedule and the first announced events, our Co-Work space, an Amsterdam city guide, Volunteer call and more!

@EFDevconnect
!
We want to thank our speakers once more and we look forward to seeing everyone in Amsterdam!
🚨 Speaker Announcement! 🚨
@bahrani_maryam
will present at ETHconomics!
Her paper shows that active block producers - those that extract MEV - complicate transaction fee mechanism design. Therefore we might need other mechanisms such as order flow auctions.
We are blown away by the amount and quality of applications to ETHconomics! Selecting participants is difficult. This message is for those that do not have a ticket yet. We will admit a small amount of people at the door, on a first-come-first-serve basis. See you tomorrow!
Want to learn what ETHconomics is all about? Listen to this Space where we dive into what role altruistic and self-limiting behavior play in protocol design, how to reason about rollup fees after EIP-4844, the state of PBS and much more!
🚨 Speaker Announcement 🚨
@kakia1989
will present at ETHconomics!
Akaki will present how to come up with more efficient multidimensional transaction fee mechanisms by defining resources used by chains and he will discuss target goals and the corresponding optimization problems
That’s a wrap for ETHconomics Istanbul! Thanks to all speakers and participants for making this an amazing day, we look forward to what is to come in the next year! The recordings of ETHconomics are live, find them here:

🚨 Speaker Announcement 🚨
@brettpalatiello
will be speaking at ETHconomics!
Using the tools from macrofinance, Brett will illuminate potential equilibrium conditions around staking economics detrimental to Ethereum's security objectives and how to design a more robust protocol
🎥 Releasing batch 2 out of 4 of our talk recordings, with the Zonzij track, morning session 🎥
Find out about the deep links between consensus and economics from our speakers,
@dntse
@jneu_net
@sreeramkannan
@weboftrees
with Notes on Ethereum’s circulating supply equilibrium and the prospect of perpetual deflation via minimum viable issuance under proof of stake
Whew, what a day!
While this is a smart contract exploit more than an economic attack, how should we think about the guarantees offered by bridges in a multi-/cross-chain world? Help us figure it out by applying to our event, details in the next tweet!
How did the
@wormholecrypto
exploit work? I joined forces with
@gf_256
and
@ret2jazzy
to reverse engineer the exploit, and now that it's been patched we can finally share it with you👇
@epolynya
Naming is hard 🙈 yes data is sharded across the validator set 🦏 the design emphasises "sharding as running many chains in parallel" less prominently...
We will also hear about the insightful Empirical Analysis of EIP-1559 from two of their authors,
@0xFanZhang
and
@sunshineluyao
Their paper can be found here:
@EdFelten
on everything Arbitrum economics,
@sreeramkannan
with one of the first
@eigenlayer
presentations,
@adietrichs
on multi-1559 / early 4844 and so many more!
We're excited to see you in Istanbul, to push the frontier together once again ❤️
Presenting their "Empirical Analysis of EIP-1559: Transaction Fees, Waiting Time, and Consensus Security",
@0xFanZhang
and
@sunshineluyao
. Economics meets computer science!
We will announce more speakers in the coming days, stay tuned!

Ansgar Dietrichs
@adietrichs
begins his talked titled: Multidimensional resource pricing on Ethereum. Looking forward to a primer on a multidimensional EIP-1559!
The venue opens at 9am. We're located at Tolhuistin, across from Amsterdam Centraal train station. Take the ferry (it's free!) and it will be on your left when you reach
Tom Mellan
@MellanTom
begins his talk on "Filecoin x Ethereum: Introduction to Filecoin cryptoeconomics and relevance to Ethereum." Let's see what he has in store 😌
Was reminded of this thread from last year where
@ArthurB
explains the (long known) fundamental issue with royalties on transfer. It's a bit unfortunate how little of the crypto "robust mechanism design" spirit seems to carry over to some of the app layer.
Finally, we got a peek into the future of EIP-1559 with
@adietrichs
, presenting "Notes on multidimensional EIP-1559". An exploratory talk with many open questions for research to come!
"Dude, what’s the
#danksharding
situation?"
📣 EF Research team is hosting an educational seminar with researchers and core devs on scaling solution "Danksharding" on Feb 14th at 14:30 UTC.

Crazy to think our last event took place one year ago *to the day*
And looking back at the presentations, many of them were basically communications from the future, the seeds of conversations which played out many times since
