## Content

The Rollup Coaster is a bi-weekly newsletter that dives into the fascinating world of Ethereum, exploring the latest in rollups, zero-knowledge proofs, based sequencing/preconfirmations, TEEs, MEV/PBS and much more. This edition is written by Taiko’s Researcher Jünger. Hold on tight! 🎢 Disclaimer: This newsletter is neither financial advice, nor is indicative of Taiko’s position on any of the material presented. Please do your own research.Highlights 🎢Vitalik wrote a new blog post. He says that Ethereum alignment needs to be defined better. He suggests breaking alignment down into things like open-source standards, decentralization, and contributing to Ethereum and the broader world.ZK and rollup research 🧙Flashbots published a research on pricing of blobs.Primev published a research on blob pricing in volatile market.Steelmanning a blob throughput increase for Pectra.Muhammad from Delphi, published a research on transaction ordering policies and value accrual of rollups.Espresso shared updates on the decentralisation of Timeboost (Arbitrum’s new transaction order), which it developed in partnership with Arbitrum.Joshua wrote a blog that explain some concerns of Arbitrum’s new transaction order mechanism Timeboost.Taiko published a blog post on Binius, an idea of building SNARKs over binary fields.Argument wrote a blog post about RISC-V zkVMs.Telos Foundation shared a new article on SNARKtor, a standart proof aggregation.The Rollup episode covered the debate between zkVMs vs ZK Circuits.Improving SP1’s performance with using GPUs.“How Does Delayed Proving Work?” by Hyle.Rareskill’s new blog post, The Intuition Behind ECDSA. ZKM @ProjectZKM The recent @zk_monk BootCamp session with ZKM Senior Cryptographer, Jeroen van de Graaf Ph.D, is now available to watch on YouTube: cli.re/dmD9x8 In this session, Professor Jeroen offers a very comprehensive high-level introduction to zero-knowledge and SNARKs 106 8:24 AM • Sep 24, 2024 CairoVM book by zksecurity.ZK and rollup updates 🗞️zkSync announced permissionless proving.Aztec announced the winner of Alpha Build 1.Starknet open-sourced Stone v3 prover.Taiko Grant Factory Hackathon has started.Based sequencing and preconfirmations 😎BREAD covered based rollups on his educational post.Init4tech published a research on fork-choice rules and their effect to based rollups.TEEs (Trusted Execution Environments) 🫣Flashbots is experimenting with Intel TDX to trustlessly capture bottom-of-block arbitrages without exposing frontrunning risks.Poetic Technologies proposed the open-source TEE initiative.Automata announced a library to verify TEEs on-chain in unified interface.MEV/PBS🔍Ethereum’s new open-sourced block building/commitment sidecar Commit-Boost is now live! Charlie @_charlienoyes Builders, relays, and validators spend the majority of their time computing state roots - rather than on execution. This latency is unnecessary. @MaxResnick1 and I propose a simple fix: delay stateRoot by a block so that it can be computed in parallel. ethresear.ch Proposal: Delay stateRoot Reference to Increase Throughput and Reduce Latency Proposal: Delay stateRoot Reference to Increase Throughput and Reduce Latency By: Charlie Noyes, Max Resnick Introduction Right now, each block header includes a stateRoot that represents the state... 270 12:18 PM • Sep 25, 2024 Primev introduced cryptographic primitives in mev-commit to protect bidder’ privacy.Additional resources 📚 𝕄𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕔 𝕀𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕟𝕖𝕥 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪 @BigSky_7 R1CS is like a series of interlocking puzzles... 14 6:29 AM • Sep 27, 2024 IEEE Spectrum @IEEESpectrum A Bendy RISC-V Processor spectrum.ieee.org A Bendy RISC-V Processor The new 6-mW open-source plastic chip can run machine learning tasks and operate while bent around a pencil 8 10:07 AM • Sep 25, 2024 Join us 💗Explore open positions on our job board.Follow us 🥁Get the latest from Taiko:Website: https://taiko.xyz.Discord: https://discord.gg/taikoxyz.GitHub: https://github.com/taikoxyz.Twitter: https://twitter.com/taikoxyz.Community forum: https://community.taiko.xyz.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@taikoxyz.Warpcast: https://warpcast.com/taikoxyz.Contribute 🤓Contribute to Taiko on GitHub and earn a GitPOAP!
