hey, i'm super enthusiastic about p2p, distsys, and networking. that's why i joined the Ethereum Foundation last week—to help accelerate @ethereum's p2p efforts 🚀. things like DAS, privacy-preserving protocols, peer anonymity, censorship resistance, light clients, decentralised.

is anyone aware of past efforts to build a mathematical bandwidth utilization model for Eth? as we scale L1 capacity+throughput, scale blobs, restructure the slot, increase propagation efficiency, add new mechanisms (e.g. FOCIL, BAL), shard the mempool, etc. we're working against

agree! i learnt so much from working with colleagues, bosses, and clients in a physical workplace on a daily basis. discipline, social cues, how information spreads, pressure signals, etiquette, non-verbal language, etc. i can’t imagine what it must be like for kids to jump.

i'm trying out AeroSpace these days! 🪟. it's wild how macOS window management has stayed dysfunctional for. forever. i've always wondered how Apple engineers bear the brunt without feeling the urge to fix it. Apple keeps adding flashy features with grandiose names like.

my journey in this whole space started with Ethereum at @Consensys. later, i joined @protocollabs to lead libp2p, and my path intertwined again with Eth when the beacon chain adopted it. at @protocollabs, i worked on awesome things like Filecoin, FVM, Testground, and IPC. but i.

@manunalepa Raw blobs are 128kb. Pre-Fusaka, blobs were disseminated and stored as-is. Fusaka introduces polynomial erasure coding, enabling tolerance of up to 50% data loss, at the expense of expanding blobs 2x, resulting in a 256kb footprint per blob. With a max of 12 per slot, the sum of.

@manunalepa Blob fees are independent from tx fees, but they're scaled as per EIP-1559 dynamics. In Dencun, target was 3 and max was 6. Pectra increases throughput to target 6, max 9. Fusaka will increase max to 12, and target to 9 (I think).

That said, I'm already familiar with this stuff, so I'm completing my understanding of nitty-gritty details. This won't be a full intro. @manunalepa did an awesome job with that!.

Diving into the latest PeerDAS spec & implementation shipping in the Fusaka #Ethereum upgrade 💪. I'll share key concepts and observations in this thread 🧵 as I work through the docs & code, in case it's useful to others. Corrections and feedback are welcome!.

LLMs / MCP / Agentic behavior. Yeah, the Model Context Protocol terminology is a bit confusing. Sharing my mental model in case others find it useful. LLMs cannot directly interact with external services, tools, and resources. That’s not even their job. However, they can drive.
