SubscribeOne thing I learned today: Gas fees are the unit of measurement for the computational power required to execute operations on the Ethereum blockchain. Gas fee payments are important because they restrict vulnerability of spam and infinite computational loops. Gas fees are paid in a denomination of ETH called “gwei.” Gwei= 10^-9 ETH. When submitting a transaction to the blockchain the user is bidding for it’s transaction to be included in the next block. If offering a small amount of ...

SubscribeOne thing I learned today: Today I found myself on the enhancements of security to the ETH blockchain within their roadmap segment. Find below what I learned on Distributed Validator Technology (DVT). Distributed Validator Technology allows for further decentralization of validator nodes by splitting the private key amongst several different and makes it very difficult for hackers to to gain access to the private key. The subset of computers is called a cluster. This allows for a nod...

SubscribeOne thing I learned today: Basics of EIP 4844: 6 blobs can fit within an Ethereum block, Each blob contains about 125 Kilobytes of data. However, the strategy with EIP 4844 is to create a balance with the use of blobs in each block. If 6 were always allowed then the most likely price per blob would increase. To keep the price balanced EIP 4844 will increase/decrease the price of blob data to try and keep each ETH block to only 3 blobs. If too many blobs are being rolled-up onto ETH (...

SubscribeOne thing I learned today: Verkle Trees: In order for Ethereum to reach a stateless clients there needs to be a way for clients to validate incoming blocks without storing the entire ETH database. Stateless clients would use a “witness” to the data instead. Right now, witnesses are too large for clients to use and validate within the 12 second slot. Verkle trees would enable small witnesses. What is a Witness? In order to verify a block, the it requires re-executing the transactions ...

SubscribeOne thing I learned today: Last year there were over 50,000 runners in the NYC marathon and estimated to have hundreds of thousands of attendees across the 26.2 miles. This is besides the TV coverage on ESPN and local news. I am currently signed up for the NYC Marathon in November and have a 3k fundraising goal for Team For Kids. A youth running group in NYC. I’m thinking of creating a campaign where companies and brands can donate and be a sponsor on my customized running shirt/hat ...

SubscribeOne thing I learned: I did some research on Ark Investments today. An investment firm in which their strategy is to invest/bet in emerging and disruptive technology. It wasn’t until about a month ago that I connected the dots between Cathie Woods and Ark Investments. I honestly thought she was like a Michael Saylor that was just super outspoken about Bitcoin to get publicity. Hey,I personally loved her analysis (and agreed with it) but didn’t know where the credibility came from. How...

SubscribeOne Thing I learned today: Single-Slot Finality: The process of blocks being proposed and finalized within the same slot What is Finality? Today I’m going to focus on the problem of block finality on the Ethereum blockchain network. Block finality is the time it takes for 2/3 of validators to “attest” the block and for other validators to process that the block has been “attested” by 2/3 of the validators. Finality is important because it ensures that a block cannot be altered after ...
