ETHDenver is moving into a new home for 2026! 🏙️ We are transitioning from the National Western Complex to the National Western Center. The names may sound similar, but the experience is not. The Center is a completely different venue with modernized infrastructure, expanded

Mint 1 of Uniswap v4 Positions NFT | Success | Dec-06-2025 05:23:47 PM (UTC)
First Uniswap CCA auction is done, and it was beautiful $59m in bids. No sniping, bundling, timing games Just slow, fair price discovery ending at 59% above the floor — with literally days to bid earlier and get a better average price Even if you bid $10b fdv on the first

Turns out this data is accurate (we just had ~23% of the network fall off due to a bug with Prysm). If Lighthouse had had the bug instead, then the network would've lost finalization (not good)! So if you're a node operator (especially a big one) running Lighthouse, it's time

🚨 PSA: There is an ongoing issue with the Prysm consensus client on mainnet. If you are running Prysm, you will need to reconfigure your CL node as per the linked tweet. If you are running another client, you are not affected and no action is required.
🚨 We have identified the issue and have a quick workaround. All nodes should disable Prysm to unnecessarily generate old states to process outdated attestation. To do this, simply add the following flag to your beacon node. This flag works with v7.0.0 and you do not need to

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

Ethereum Fusaka upgrade will go live this week and here is what will change in the upgrade : 1. PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling) : EIP-7594 so before explaining this, you must need to know about blobs. so think of blobs as temporary storage lockers for L2 networks.

@_patrickogrady @commonwarexyz It's looking really interesting! My fear going in was that switching to a protocol like this *really* reduces security by almost half, the last thing ethereum should do when it's one of the very few chains aiming for bitcoin-like resilience and decentralization. But in reality:

insanely BULLISH for ethereum scaling roadmap. JUST IN: ZKSync's airbender team demonstrates two 5090 GPUs can generate a proof for every ethereum L1 block. it means: - block gas limits can increase safely - L2s get cheaper - blob usage goes up - ETH burn intensifies -

BREAKING: Aztec just shipped the Ignition Chain, the first fully decentralized L2 on Ethereum. This launches the decentralized consensus layer that powers the Aztec Network. https://t.co/nYyD7cykz2 🧵

The first decentralized L2 on Ethereum. Sequencers can participate in decentralizing the network by staking, earning block rewards, and coordinating block production.
