After seven and a half years, I've made the bittersweet decision to step down from my role at @prylabs . I want to thank my amazing colleagues at @OffchainLabs for everything over the past few years. I am deeply proud of what we have accomplished over the years.

This is @preston_vanloon. This is the story behind how he co-founded Prysmatic Labs and the @prylabs consensus layer client. 💎

Amazing job by the partnerships team at @OffchainLabs on getting this deal done ! Big moves for arbitrum

Robinhood is now onchain with Arbitrum! Arbitrum will serve as @RobinhoodApp's rails to merge DeFi and TradFi in what is a 0 -> 1 moment for the entire industry. All while onboarding millions of net-new users into crypto. Arbitrum Everywhere. 🧵

Eight years of shaping Ethereum From powering the Beacon Chain to shipping the Merge, Dencun, and now Pectra — Prysm has been at the heart of it all Join us in celebrating their journey and learn what’s next for @Ethereum

With Pectra finally being activated on mainnet it felt like the right time to take a break. While I will no longer be a part of the team, I know everyone at @prylabs is raring to ship fusaka🫡

Building Prysm and Ethereum has been a great privilege and I am very grateful for being able to be a part of it over the years. To the ethereum community, both the coredevs and larger ecosystem, thank you for everything over the years and making ethereum an awesome place to be

🚀 Prysm v6.0.1 is out - Includes bug fixes to payload_attributes endpoint. - Reminder: To be compatible with Pectra, you must be on v6.0.0 or later. See release notes for more detail:

looking forward to eth RISCV being proposed [check], implemented [started], discussed for years, and then abandoned

This position would be basically ossifying the evm in its current form. I don't see how we could make any significant changes without EOF.

If you want to significantly increase the transaction payload size on mainnet, bandwidth will be the biggest bottleneck. You would need to have both ePBS and RLNC to allow bigger payloads to be propagated to the network in time.

We are now ready for Pectra! 🥳 👉Validator deposits with invalid signatures are now handled correctly 👉Pectra deposit queue support: Accurate activation estimation right after deposit 👉Consolidation and withdrawal operations are now visible on the validator and slot pages

Prysm v6 release is here with full Pectra mainnet support! This release is mandatory for all operators before May 7 The fork is scheduled for mainnet epoch 364032. You MUST update Prysm Beacon Node, Prysm Validator Client to the Pectra ready release prior to the fork to stay on

I dont understand points like this at all. You cant increase the gas limit safely before fixing the dos vectors. The gas limit is always specified to handle the worst case blocks for clients

Our Chief Scientist, @EdFelten, appeared on @CNBC yesterday to discuss tariffs and their impact on crypto. “We don’t think about it [crypto] as siloed by nation, it is an inherently international community”

Simulations carried out have shown that we would be able to double pectra's current target blob count with no loss in latency. This could be applied to peerDAS to support even higher blob counts.

The rest of the peers receive announcements instead. What does this achieve ? It greatly reduces the amount of duplicates in the network. With a reduced number of message duplicates you can correspondingly bump up the blob count.

This introduces 2 new control messages along with a new announcement degree parameter. Gossipsub currently eagerly pushes messages, we add to it with a new lazy pull mechansim. Instead of broadcasting messages to your whole mesh, you only send to a subset of them.

Gossipsub v2 , a way to double the blob count without peerDAS. https://t.co/EHD5kqHISn

Episode 3 of Core Notes from Core Devs is now out! Catch the Ethereum core developers at @offchainlabs discuss the latest happenings in @ethereum development. This week we talk with @terencechain and @jameshe_eth about the final preparations for the Pectra upgrade and how you
