Icymi, @ethpandaops did the research on how an increase in blobs affects home stakers and L1 throughput.

devcon SEA

Thanks @j4ck.eth for my icebreaker.xyz badge. Looking to put this to work at Devcon when I finally meet my fellow @obol frens irl

Scaling and decentralising Ethereum through the development and deployment of distributed validators.

A cast feels right for this pfp change. 
Feeling based, but Obol green. 
Still love my mfer but was time for a switch.

I'm in need of some EthDenver `24 Farcaster gathering vibes... did I miss the invite for this at Devcon??

While everyone is talking about preconfs and based sequencing, a credible EIP for ePBS just got posted. This lays the groundwork for in protocol smoothing or burn. Congrats to all who contributed, especially Potuz!

Great post from lighthouse on missed attestations. Worth a read if your not happy with your effectiveness

Parenting

"Ella is F*cking this game!" My 3yo to the family during a round of Monopoly Junior last night. She then proceeded to cry because she said the F word. I'm actually proud of how she used it and the context it was used in. Obvs NPA (not parenting advise)

So happy to see some positive movement in the US. As an American it’s been tough to watch us fall behind and fight over a technology that’s obviously going to change the world. If nothing else, this proves that your vote matters, especially in congress.

Obol has launched a "1% for Decentralisation" Retroactive Funding Model for projects working to decentralise Ethereum's consensus! 

1% of Obol DV staking rewards will be contributed to the fund! 

@lidofinance and @ether-fi are confirmed contributors.

Details:

Love this initiative from Obol. While building Smoothly, I struggled to find public goods funding. This is a much needed resource and something that I'll definitely be involved with. Providing incentives to build decentralized staking infrastructure is a no brainer.

Base

Gas is down bad, which has cratered execution layer rewards for validators. But, there is still 24 hours left to join Smoothly and get a share of the /base donations in the smoothing pool! Over 10E to be split between the subscribers this cycle! Feeling based 🔵

scoop

It's @base season at /smoothly! Today 10.7 ETH was transferred from Base to Smoothly's pool contract! These donations will give Smoothly solo stakers over 10x their EV over the 21 day reward cycle! All in all, over 30 ETH was donated during Dencun POAP mint, and ALL of these rewards went straight to solo stakers!

Finally hit 1k followers 9 months in. I'll keep the staking and parenting content flowing. Maybe start dabbling in coffee and cast iron skillets too...
