The paths of least resistance: Introducing WFR-Gossip tldr: WFR-Gossip applies optimal transport principles to Ethereum’s gossip layer. It preserves Gossipsub’s resilience, while cutting bandwidth by 50% and reducing 90ᵗʰ-percentile latency by 40% in simulations. Link to the post: https://ethresear.ch/t/the-paths-of-least-resistance-introducing-wfr-gossip/22671 Link to githup repo for simulation code: https://github.com/soispoke/wfr-gossip-simulator/tree/main

Interop is solved … only if we’re okay with weak protocols. “But we’re not!” - @ellied, head of R&D at @espressosys

Users don’t care about security. That’s why we need to. @ellied looking out for the end user!

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.

t1 and Espresso are having a small, IRL workshop in Denver to discuss synchronous vs asynchronous composability, and if there is any use for synchronous composability at all. Here's the link to apply if you are interested! https://lu.ma/peendh7h

hey y’all I made this insanely long thread on X about my new PET project :) can’t type out another thread so just cross posting here. Check it out if you’re into Privacy Onchain! feedback welcome https://x.com/kassandraeth/status/1878851169222815751?s=46&t=vTVy8OANoffEy58q7gDM0Q
