Hello from the EF Stateless Consensus team! 👋 We are a small team focused on solving scaling and related challenges by shipping stateless clients to Ethereum.
New release of EEST benchmarks: github.com/ethereum/execu… The benchmark suite is now unified for both zkEVM and PerfNet-like efforts, a nice step toward standardized benchmarking and long-term value. Shoutout to the testing team (+@0xlouistsai), and also @JochemBrouwer96!
First major tag of the Ethereum standardized zkEVM benchmarks now available: github.com/ethereum/execu… Joint effort with @kevaundray, @chfast, and @elbuenmayini. Part of a bigger project to have a more streamlined analysis for potential protocol changes in a zkVM world.
I’ve switched teams in the EF, from the Stateless consensus team to the zkEVM team. Hard work remains the same :)

Just published a deep-dive on code-merkelization—laying out the main design options and their trade-offs, considering the upcoming L1 scaling protocol changes. ethresear.ch/t/merkelizing-…
Had the pleasure of collaborating with @raulvk years ago around IPFS and libp2p. True 10x engineer. Good things coming at the networking layer, quite sure about it.
hey, i'm super enthusiastic about p2p, distsys, and networking. that's why i joined the Ethereum Foundation last week—to help accelerate @ethereum's p2p efforts 🚀 things like DAS, privacy-preserving protocols, peer anonymity, censorship resistance, light clients, decentralised…
While I believe not pursuing EOF is the right decision for the protocol (which must be paramount), I also want to acknowledge the incredible work and dedication the @teamipsilon team put into it. That commitment is what drives Ethereum's quality.
Why L1 scaling: - Lower base fees = induced demand - Can't wait for the problem to be solved — it would be too late. Protocol changes take time - L1 is an interop and L2-security layer (e.g., mass exits) Ofc shouldn't compromise network core values.
tell me why we need 300M?
My favorite law of software engineering, Hyrum's Law, also applies to Ethereum. hyrumslaw.com
To scale Ethereum, attesters should not hold state. Who should hold it instead? In this new post I investigate that underexplored question with a protocol design perspective. Read the full post here! ethresear.ch/t/a-protocol-d… Warning: many mentions of state.
Statelessness is a big topic. Trying to get a complete technical picture only by reading EIPs or independent articles/presentations can be overwhelming. We hope this helps the community have a single place to understand it and keep track of what’s happening. More things coming!
1/ 🚀 Our team is thrilled to announce the release of the "Ethereum Stateless Book" – a deep dive into every protocol change pushing Ethereum toward statelessness. 📘 stateless.fyi
True chad!
I'm leaving PSE. Exciting journey ahead. I'll try to keep contributing to EF-related stuff where I can in some spare time. Can't stress enough how much Barry and the team he created did for me. I just wouldn't be where I am if not Barry and Q believing in my competence and...
Published an article to dive deeper into how state tree preimages file generation could work: ethresear.ch/t/state-tree-p… I added enough context to help understand this since it might not be obvious where it fits in the big picture.

IMO, the coolest and most ambitious version of native rollups was mentioned back in October last year vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/1…
