I greatly enjoyed this episode with the new Bitcoin Suisse podcast. We touched on many topics related to ETH the asset and economics more broadly.

A new book on hash-based SNARKs is out! snargsbook.org
The book is a comprehensive treatment of the foundations of hash-based SNARKs. Definitions, theorem statements and proofs are rigorously covered from first scratch.
A monumental effort by Ale Chiesa and Eylon Yogev—the fundamentals have never been stronger :)

1.5h technical presentation and Q&A on shared sequencing, decentralised preconfirmations, and based sequencing

BitVM gives 1-of-whitelist optimistic rollups on Bitcoin with 2-way BTC bridges. Defi and restaking can be replicated with BTC. Imagine:
* BitDA like EigenDA, boosting DA past 4MB/10min
* BitFG like FFG, boosting security past PoW
Wait, it's all about monetary premium? Always has been. 🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀

At first it was just Taiko.
In the last couple weeks two more projects embraced based sequencing—announcements coming :)
As awareness grows and design details flesh out, projects seriously consider based sequencing.

Shared sequencing is to execution what danksharding is to DA.
Danksharding: removes asynchrony across data shards
shared sequencing: removes asynchrony across VMs
With both we can fix Ethereum fragmentation.

Four 2024 technical breakthroughs towards fixing Ethereum fragmentation:
1) Removing the need for a hard fork for based preconfirmations.
2) Espresso making their shared sequencer compatible with based sequencing.
3) Polygon releasing execution aggregation techniques.
4) Accseal releasing the first SNARK proving ASIC.

Yesterday we had the first community call on Ethereum sequencing and preconfirmations—recording coming Monday!

New ethresearch post on based preconfs! IMO the missing puzzle piece for based rollups to win out :)
The native Ethereum L1 sequencer is shared, decentralised, and available today! It's also the most natural, secure, simple, aligned, credibly-neutral sequencer.

The new due diligence process to join the Lido relay whitelist is surprisingly thorough.
Expecting to get the ultra sound relay whitelisted next week.

TIL: periodically restarting Geth makes it run significantly faster
An under-appreciated benefit of Geth continuous trie pruning (coming soon™️) is running Geth on a 128GB RAM disk.
TIL: Geth in a virtualised environment (like AWS or Google Cloud) performs significantly worse than on baremetal (available on OVH and Hertzner). Baremetal is also cheaper.

I’m told the VDF ASIC samples are out of the fab (GlobalFoundries). Heading to packaging now!
Made it to Farcaster! :)
