It's great to see this emphasis on networking enter the spotlight on Ethereum Far too few are aware of the untapped scaling potential that lies in networking optimization. We're talking about orders of magnitude higher throughput without the need for any sort of costly hardware

Faster block/blob propagation in Ethereum Acknowledgements to @n1shantd, @ppopth and Ben Berger for discussions and feedback on this writeup and @dankrad for many useful discussions. Abstract We...
For years, I've complained internally at the EF that we do not have enough expertise at p2p: we think a lot about cryptoeconomics, BFT consensus and blocks, but we take the p2p networking layer for granted. I think that's no longer true, and PeerDAS shows it. @raulvk and others

Global payments demand speed at scale We have something for that ♾ Congratulations to the @stable team on mainnet launch, excited to be working together 🤝
Stable Mainnet is live with over 150 partners building with us. Payments, FX, custody, neobanks, DeFi, and infrastructure teams are already building on StableChain, the USDT-native rail built for real-world settlement.

Stable Mainnet is now live. Today marks a major step in the evolution of stablecoin payments: the launch of StableChain, the first USDT-native Layer 1 built for high-volume, predictable, real-world settlement. The future of stablecoin payments begins now.

Sharding is great start to reducing bandwidth costs, and it gets even more powerful (higher throughput & loss-resilience) when combined with coding. See @MurielMedard walk through the differences at her whiteboard👇
PeerDAS in Fusaka is significant because it literally is sharding. Ethereum is coming to consensus on blocks without requiring any single node to see more than a tiny fraction of the data. And this is robust to 51% attacks - it's client-side probabilistic verification, not

Also want to shoutout @ethpandaops for the new Lab - cool UI and great resource we've been using to track fork timelines + key params: https://t.co/uA6B0MFeRG Side note: we published some promising research on the use of RLNC in data availability sampling- exploring a different

⟠ Fusaka is live ⟠ This is a real scaling milestone for Ethereum- here's what changed today. PeerDAS has landed. Nodes don’t need full blobs anymore. they can sample a few pieces and still get strong confidence the rest is retrievable from peers. This makes blob propagation

A quick word on preconfirmations as a scaling strategy Running preconfirmations for onchain transactions resembles a networking technique known as Optimistic ACKs, long considered in TCP/IP and more recently in Quic protocols. Both are "optimisticlly lying" by assuming data is
