Hey Farcaster ethr&d friends, I wanted to share a quick summary of our latest beam call
This one focused on the peer-to-peer networking layer
Read on 👇 & watch the recording attached

(Sophisticated) validators play timing games to optimize for value extraction.
Relays like Aestus offer them as a service to any validator.
How does this level the playing field among validators? What are risks and tradeoffs? see more below 👇
Summarised some notes I took during ZuBerlin regarding proposer collateralisation, mostly paraphrasing our discussions with a few annotations. (h/t @mteamisloading for further discussions).

I just donated to Web3 Infrastructure on @gitcoin's grantsstack.
No more network/bridging/gas fee/passport hassle -> lessons learned💪
Bull market or not, open source projects still remain tricky to monetize from.
-> sharing is caring
Quick notes on connecting a remote-signer w/ a validator client
(mostly repetitive& well-documented elsewhere)
But, w/ Secure-Signer running inside a TEE stakers greatly minimize common slashing risks
while (re)staking protocols need to trust NoOps less

wrote down a few notes on SGX-capable staking hardware options
(adapted for Puffer because of remote attestations allowing for just 1ETH bond requirements)
but this is generalisable for anyone interested in staking from a TEE

relay monetisation has been an ongoing issue for a long time (we've seen relays shut down operations bc of it)
Not trying to justify the shortcomings of external PBS in general, but competing on performance/latency was always a possible way forward
Is it correct that EIP-7251 aka Max_EB will almost entirely remove the initial slashing penalty? maybe @mikeneuder.eth could kindly chime in
Would this only apply to consolidated validators or also non-consolidated?

We'll likely see even more centralised actors along the block building pipeline, e.g. sequencers, preconfirmers & gateways.
That may be OK, as long as we have means to *not let them mess* with the chain.
Inclusion Lists are such a mean.

Brought pre-2022 GBP bank notes for my ETHLondon travels. Apparently, I missed a hard fork - couldn't pay with them anymore...
Wanted to convert them, but the Bank of England and post offices around are closed on saturdays🤓
Crypto fixes this.
Croissants?! Paid my #Franzbrötchen today with @gnosispay!
Received my @monerium IBAN after some initial hiccups last week.
One SEPA transfer & one manual blockchain transfer later I was good to go.

Self-custodial EUR-stablecoin payments are here! Get ready to unbank.
Apparently, FB builders artificially inflate bid values by incl. withdrawals. They outbid other builders at the expense of proposers who miss out on actually more valuable payloads.
FB should stop doing this, or relays should stop accepting bids from such builders
