I Got A Story To Tell
I’ve always believed Ethereum could make a real difference in the world, but it took me a while to put into words exactly why. This is that attempt.

Why Is Everyone in Ethereum Talking About TEEs?
TEEs are emerging as a tool in Ethereum’s infrastructure, enhancing privacy, security, and decentralization across MEV, rollups, and bridges. This piece explores how Flashbots, Scroll, and Taiko are leveraging TEEs to shift MEV dynamics, enable rollup innovation, and improve bridge security.

Who Even Were the Cypherpunks?
The cypherpunks were a group of hackers, cryptographers, and activists who built tools to defend privacy and freedom, shaping the foundation for Bitcoin and Ethereum. This post dives into their history, key innovations, and how their ethos lives on in today’s decentralized systems.

Supporting Self-Builders with Distributed Block Building
The purpose of this post is to provide an update on the progress in addressing how to scale the network’s data availability processing capacity while enabling solo staking validators to continue to self-build and distribute blocks as the network scales.

Ethereum Proposer-Builder Separation: Past, Present, and Future
Part 1: How We Got HereEthereum was initially designed with the idea that a single party would handle the entire process of block creation. This entailed aggregating transactions from the mempool, crafting the block header, and either finding the golden nonce in proof of work or simply signing the block header in proof of stake. For its initial years, block building was straightforward: mining nodes pulled transactions from their mempool, ordered them based on gas price, which signifies the c...

Could Proto-Danksharding Make Ethereum Transactions Free? What You Need to Know
We are on the cusp of a revolutionary shift in the Ethereum landscape. Applications once considered unfeasible due to the network's limited throughput are about to become viable. The tradeoff between scalability, decentralization, and security, known as the blockchain trilemma, has long been a characteristic of blockchain networks. Ethereum chose to prioritize decentralization and security, amassing nearly 1 million validators and making a 51% attack prohibitively expensive (it would cos...

Rollups: A Guide You Can Actually Understand
Rollups this, rollups that – you've probably know that they're a way to scale Ethereum, but what exactly is a rollup? How does it work in a technical sense that's still accessible to understand? That's what this post aims to explain.Overview of RollupsEthereum currently allows a maximum of 30M gas per block, which comes out to around 25 transactions per second. In essence, rollups enable more transactions to fit into an Ethereum block without increasing the gas limit. They...

Sismo Connect Offchain Tutorial - Code a Private Mini Only Fans Application
1. OverviewThe aim of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to use the Sismo Connect Server Library to create a mini private "Only Fans" application. The main feature you're aiming for is to validate if a user owns a certain NFT (Pudgy Penguins, in this case) and offer them a discount based on their holdings. This project preserves user privacy and security using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK Proofs) and offchain verification. Note: For a comprehensive understanding, we recommend users watch t...

Harness AI to Land Your Dream Job or Risk Replacement: The Choice is Yours
Six months have elapsed since OpenAI released ChatGPT. As an open-access online chatbot, ChatGPT enables users to pose questions and seek content. Within two months of its public launch in late November 2022, ChatGPT exceeded 100 million monthly users, thus setting a record as the fastest-growing web application globally. This sparked an intense discussion about AI, with OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, even addressing the topic in front of Congress earlier this month. The world buzzes with spe...
