1/6 We implemented EIP-4488 proposed by
@VitalikButerin
! EIP-4488 is one of the most major upgrades for ETH besides the Merge. As ETH focus on the Merge, we hope that our efforts can be the precursor of ETH and reduce the time that ETH finally adopts it! A couple of details:
1/n, I am delighted to announce that the first web access protocol for ETH ERC4804: Web3 URL is approved by EIP editors and finalized!
web3:// () is decentralized
http://.
It allow users to directly browse the rich web content on EVM, pages/images/songs!
Just finished the talk about Proof of Staked Work and Irregular-Program-Based Hash Algorithm. Enjoyed the discussions with senior engineers at Silicon Valley! Pm me if you want learn more!
#QKC
is now supported by
@binance
's
@TrustWalletApp
, a standalone application for iOS and Android devices that allows users to manage crypto currency and interact with Decentralized Applications (DApps) - including DEXs'.
ETC is being attacked by 51% hash power (7% of ETH's). It may be a good time to switch to proof of staked work (PoSW) such that the attacker has to acquire some stake (ETC) before attacking
@eth_classic
@IOHK_Charles
@SlowMist_Team
! See for details.
@harmonyprotocol
shard 0 (mainnet&testnet) is now accessible via web3:// and our gateway!
Web3:// protocol allows anyone to browse a dec. resource on a smart contract!
Eg: )
which displays the string from name() method.
Cheers!
@VitalikButerin
2/6 What is the EIP-4488?
EIP-4488’s full name is “Transaction calldata gas cost reduction with total calldata limit”. The main purpose of EIP-4488 is to reduce the cost of uploading off-chain data to on-chain to ~20% without introducing potential attacks on the network!
Want to know how to build the foundation of future Web3 and the new applications? Join our SF blockchain weekend after party tomorrow with
@NKN_ORG
and
@harmonyprotocol

3/6 Why EIP-4488 is important to Ethereum
ETH is moving toward rollup centric, but one major cost of rollup is the upload cost of L2 data to ETH. With EIP-4488, the cost of such upload can be reduced to ⅕! See the latest post from
@VitalikButerin
Spent the past days to read Libra whitepaper, and excited to see the Libra's universe finally started. It recalls me the time I worked at
#Facebook
and inspired me the design of
@Quark_Chain
. Look forward to see how's the future for
#Facebook
and
#Libra
.
QuarkChain EIP155 code is in ! With EIP155, users can use metamask to participant dApp on QuarkChain and enjoy low gas and the same UX as ETH! (And yes, support hardware wallets such as Ledger and Trezor!) Will schedule a mainnet upgrade shortly!
Do you know that, following the dev philosophy of Ethereum
@VitalikButerin
,QuarkChain is perhaps the ONLY blockchain project that has two official implementations - goqkc & pyqkc besides Ethereum (even BTC only has core in C++).
4/6 Why EIP-4488 is important to us?
Our
@Web3Q_io
project aims to provide a decentralized Web based on ETH tech. One key part is to upload rich Web content such as HTML/SVG on top of the blockchain. With EIP-4488, we can dramatically save the upload costs to just pennies!
I just published a research article on the Ethereum research forum on "EthStorage: scaling Ethereum storage with L2 and DA". It includes motivation, goals, solutions, and key problems. You are cordially invited to discuss and share your thoughts!
We have fully integrated EvmOS
@EvmosOrg
(mainnet & testnet) with web3:// access protocol gateways !
You can now browse web objects (such as on-chain NFT) on EvmOS by web3://:
)
)
Enjoy!
Gave a lecture in San Jose State University. Excited to share latest development of
@Quark_Chain
. Glad to know that a lot of students are interested in and learning blockchain!
I will give a talk about KZG and EIP 4844 on September 30 with some examples at
@Dapp_Learning
.
Topics will cover Lagrange interpolation, faster Fourier transformation, roots of unity, etc with heavy and cool math!

#blockchain
1/n, An interesting analogy of computer architecture vs the World Computer:
CPU <> Ethereum L1,
Memory <> Data availability (Danksharding)
Disk <>
@EthStorage
Bus <> zkPoS by
@HyperOracle
/zkNoSQL
@EthStorage
FPU/GPU <> zkGraph
Monitor <> web3://
1/n,
@binance
just released their decentralized storage solution: Greenfield's whitepaper . I take a quick review, and it is interesting with potential board apps.
I also come up with a few early questions based on my ETH DA and storage L2
@EthStorage
:
Our web3:// gateway w3link dot io now supports
@Coinbase
Base Testnet
@BuildOnBase
. You can now browse the web on Base directly via web3:// and defined in ERC-4804!
Try or web3:// on Firefox (with extension). Enjoy!
2/n, we believe that web3:// will enable a huge number of new applications - ranging from dynamic NFT, onchain music NFT, personal website (
@VitalikButerin
’s blog), hostless wallet
@HexlinkOfficial
decentralized, dropbox
@BlockEdenHQ
, or even decentralized github
@git3protocol
Call for papers!
@qc_qizhou
is selected as program committee member because of his contribution to the scalability problem and will review all submitted papers. Hope to see more research and industry papers in the conference!
@Quark_Chain
I am happy to become a member of Forbes councils - a platform to reach/educate more international audiences about web3 technologies including Ethereum, data availability, sharding, web3:// access protocol, , etc!
My profile is here
Thanks
@AndreCronjeTech
for the in-depth review of our recently open-sourced code (). We will keep moving with our standard, and there will be a lot of surprises (QuarkChain 2.0). In addition, don't miss our TPS competition with more surprises😀
QuarkChain successfully runs the Ecotone OP Stack with the EIP-4844 batcher on Sepolia!
The Tx is
where using BLOB is 1/6.85 cheaper than calldata!
Cheers!
1/2, I am working on EIP-5478 (CREATE3) which could dramatically reduce the gas cost of creating account abstraction contracts (e.g., EIP-4337) that have identical code.
The idea is to replace costly data storing gas with a cheaper contract lookup gas if the code is the same!
I just published “Order-Statistics-Based Hash Algorithm” . Some interesting ideas about ASIC-resistent hash algorithm. Would love to have any open discussion!
I just drafted an Ethereum Classic Improvement Proposal to increase the attacking cost of reverting one-hour blocks to that of one-week blocks (i.e., 168x improvement for any recently produced blocks within 1-hour)
@_ETCDAO
Comments are welcome!
3/n we welcome more web3 buidler to work on the new web3 era.
BTW: we have a booth at EthDenver AW (with
@EthStorage
) and a talk about web3:// on Saturday morning 10:30am main venue . Love to meet you at Denver!
If you are interested in Web3 infra, I cordially invite you to join today's whiteboard with a lot of open discussions, design graphics, and pseudocode :)
I will give a talk about polynomial commitment at
@Dapp_Learning
(in Chinese)! KZG is the core crypto primitive of future ETH, and I will derive the core equations and give some examples. The target is help audience better understand EIP4844/danksharding!
Dear all,
Thank you for a long time waiting. Dr. Zhou
@qc_qizhou
and QuarkChain's engineers made a careful examination of each submission to ensure the authenticity of the results.
Here is the TPS Final Leaderboard. Congratulation to all winners! ❤️
Lastly, with these technologies, we are able to upload/store/process PB web contents assuming each node has a few TB capacities on an Ethereum-like blockchain! If you want to learn more, take a look at !
QuarkChain mainnet is successfully upgraded to 1.6.1 with the major improvement from QCEP-7: PoSW diff adjustment . After the upgrade, the post-staking hash power of the root chain is increased from 10Gh/s to 4.5Ph/s (note that Ethereum's is 1.0Ph/s)!
I will give a talk with
@Dapp_Learning
on scaling Ethereum storage, especially based on latest data availability technologies!
Welcome to join if you are interested in :)
5/6 How do you implement and test EIP-4488?
We implemented EIP-4488 on Geth and gradually roll our tests from local devnet, internal multi-node devnet, and public testnet (). Welcome to check our code and provide any issues found!
I am glad that the Go implementation of the Ethereum Portal network, Shisui, has passed the tests of cross-client communication in the Portal history network. The detailed story is here
Q: What is the Ethereum Portal network
A: The Ethereum Portal network…
1/3, I am honored to receive a data availability research grant from EF (
@EF_ESP
).
DA is the key technology to enable Ethereum scalability, and we will work closely with the researchers (
@dankrad
,
@asn_d6
,
@adietrichs
) from EF on the important topics of DA.
1/2, A nice article for stateless blockchain
One argument I would make is that rather than each user creating the witness, under Ethereum PBS model, the builder should generate witnesses for all user txs which solves the problem.
An amazing project that supports web3:// URL in a browser natively!
It translates a web3:// URL in ERC-4804 to an eth_call! Also, support relative pathing!
Try browsing
@VitalikButerin
blog at web3://vitalikblog.eth/ on Ethereum!
Welcome to web3!
Using one sentence to describe
@EthStorage
core tech:
The core tech is zkNoSQL, so that we can build a large Ethereum KvStore with ~PB values that are stored on L2 and proved by ZK tech :)
💡Did you know that three of the best ZK teams in the world are all working towards implementing a zero knowledge proof for the OP Stack?
We recommend peeking the progress comments in the repo👇
Latest EIP-4844 stress test on devnet-12:
- Txs: 21485
- Blobs: 44555
- Costs: 2000 ETH
- Time: 6.3 days
We also successfully downloaded all uploaded BLOBs from CL and stored them in our EthStorage BLOB network.
A dashboard can be found
Happy building!
If you are interested in running an EIP-4844 devnet and exploring binary large objects (BLOBs), there is an excellent notes on running the network within a few mins (yes, I am running it :) )
Nice story about posting 'Bee Movie' script on Ethereum for just $5 thanks to EIP-4844.
But ... where to find the script after pruning the blob in 18 days?
That is why we build
@EthStorage
6/6 What are the next steps?
As a fully-decentralized web solution
@Web3Q_io
, besides reducing upload costs to the blockchain, we also need to reduce the storage costs including EIP-4444 State expiry and a simplified version of EIP-4844 Sharded data. Lots of exciting things!

solve blockchain problems. Thank you
@web3summit
#Web3Summit
Introducing SoulETH:
To bridge the gap between traditional web users and the growing world of Web3, we propose a non-transferable, value-less gas token named SoulETH. The concept revolves around facilitating Web2 users' entry into Web3 by airdropping them with SoulETH. This…
Why we say multi-native token is important?
The tokens living on
#QuarkChain
’s ecosystem have the same rights as those enjoyed by native tokens
#QKC
& can take up more functional values such as contract deployment and payment of transaction fees!
With one click, every one can issue native token that has the same function as ETH!!!
To overcome limitations in functionality,
#QuarkChain
is now launching a unique multi-native token contract!
The first Multinative token will be announced soon.
Agree! The low fee is the door to open massive adoption of Web3! QuarkChain
@Quark_Chain
is designed to achieve this with sharding technologies! The mainnet has been running (and surprisingly smoothly) for more than 3 years!
@RyanSAdams
Needs to get under $0.05 to be truly acceptable imo. But we're definitely making great progress, and even proto-danksharding may be enough to get us there for a while!
With 1.6.0 upgrade, QuarkChain root chain hash keeps increasing which prevents 51% attack thanks to our unique proof of staked work! Currently, the PoW hash rate (post-staked) is 27 Th/s, which is almost the same as Eth classic!
We discuss misunderstanding of 51% attack and facts, and present hashpower reuse technique to further secure the network!
