What’s the least bad way to hold BTC on ethereum these days? How do people feel about WBTC? cbBTC seems like the only really trustworthy option but what to do on mainnet?
Remarkable how much Ethereum’s roadmap and technology have improved since about April
OpenAI built and launched Codex in 7 weeks https://calv.info/openai-reflections
Meanwhile, the builders keep building and all of the big issues are making progress: - EIP-7702 within weeks... big unlock for better UX - PeerDAS bringing a lot more blob space, rollups need this now, they're actually being used https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/all-core-devs-consensus-acdc-150-february-6-2025/22703/3
Help us build Optimism! The Proofs team at OP Labs needs Solidity and Go engineers. There’s work to be done on enabling more options in the proof system, including multi-proofs which is the path to stage 2 - and there are working ZK proofs for the OP Stack already! https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/oplabs/a0932c4c-ecbb-423d-bc03-1f5069f11a17 https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/oplabs/ece37406-2612-40e5-826a-0081233a3059
This is a great explanation of blobs, EIP-4844, Proto-Danksharding, and the eventual full Danksharding. Technical but not too hard to understand. https://domothy.com/blobspace/
Base is going to be using flashblocks. Because it forces a MEV priority auction by fee and gives revert protection it should reduce their L1 usage too https://x.com/buildonbase/status/1895223243713458184
