RIG is hiring an exceptional Protocol Architecture Researcher! (link to job description in next tweet) RIG is working on solving some of the most important open challenges for Ethereum: ensuring long-term economic robustness & scaling Ethereum. If you are excited and deeply care about these problems, join and work with us at the frontier of Ethereum research. You will join a small, impactful team where you can very quickly help shape the future of Ethereum, working with some of the most brilliant people.

2) EL—scaling execution: Scaling L1 is valuable, even in a rollup-centric roadmap. @davidecrapis and @ansgar.eth are leading a working group on EVM resource pricing, targeting near-term execution scaling gains. Davide is also leading theoretical work on multi-dimensional fee markets—a more medium-term priority. (3) DL—scaling data: Rollups consume data, making scaling data Ethereum's top priority. Historically, this has not been RIG’s core focus, but given its importance, we’re ramping up efforts. Topics on the radar: DA markets, FOCIL extension for blob txs, discussions around local block building, distributed block building, and mempools. Onwards and upwards!

(1.3) Rainbow staking: @barnabe's idea takes the philosophy of u n b u n d l i n g even further. Division of labour for nodes of Ethereum means we can do separate things more optimally, like providing censorship-resistance, increasing throughput, or defending the consensus layer. This is top of mind across RIG and EFR more broadly. (1.4) Issuance: High levels of stake participation have significant externalities. Research on Ethereum’s issuance curve, spearheaded by @anderselowsson for years, now includes @ansgar.eth, myself, and more recently @justindrake.

Here’s a look at our current main themes (links to resources in tweets below): (1) CL—"Future of staking": Ensuring Ethereum's long-term economic robustness and mitigating centralization risks via: (1.1) FOCIL: Ethereum must remain censorship resistant. @soispoke is relentlessly pushing EIP-7805 to mainnet, while work continues on incentivized and privacy-preserving FOCIL versions with @julianma, @fradamt, @barnabe, and others. (1.2) APS: By separating execution proposing from consensus duties, APS helps control timing games and enables a viable MEV burn construction. @julianma is tackling open questions to move APS towards implementation.

I have recently taken on my new role as team lead of the Robust Incentives Group (RIG) and I am truly excited to continue pushing Ethereum forward together with our incredible team: @julianma @soispoke @anderselowsson @davidecrapis. A quick note on what do at RIG and some of our latest research: At RIG, we study Ethereum’s protocol architecture and mechanisms through the lens of game theory, mechanism design, using formal methods, and empirical analysis. While our work has an economic focus, it is inherently interdisciplinary—drawing insights from economics, computer science, cryptography, distributed systems, and beyond. We work and collaborate across these fields to find ways to improve Ethereum, balancing long-term foundational research with practical proposals for mainnet upgrades—biasing towards the latter. Our goal: mechanisms that are rigorous and practical.

Introducing issuance.wtf - a collection of resources on Ethereum's current issuance discussion. I will try to keep it ~up-to-date~, but please point out missing resources or DM with questions/comments/requests.

We've only just started building crucial long-term incentives for core contributors IMO needs another order of magnitude flowing through this holistic, credibly neutral, member-governed funding mech. (incredible work to squeeze this viz out of Dune by @cheeky-gorilla 🔥)

Grats @dankrad @karalabe.eth you got me to interrupt my work on EIPs and make a twitter response that turned into an unscheduled poast 😀 https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/05/17/decentralization.html

Excited to release this post by @seiryu and myself :) We're long past the days of a single block producer including users in their block directly (see the whole MEV convo), so it is natural to update our fee market models to account for block co-creation patterns such as ERC-4337. Read on for more!

Home stakers & node operators! We created a survey to start creating better data on what home / solo stakers care about & need, in their own words! It helps researchers kno how to advocate for us (some Qs were contributed by them!) Pls fill it out if you run validators! https://stakinglandscape.limesurvey.net/748278
