We have these EF research AMAs twice a year, I think they are usually very high signal, would recommend stopping by!

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.

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.

1/ new piece! ↓ link + thread below ↓ "​Protocol Guild: a funding framework for the Ethereum commons" an exploration of the commons scale resources that make Ethereum (network, asset, media), what underpins their integrity, and how @protocolguild can help with that

Wrote a short post on using Harberger Lease, an idea from @aja @ciamac @sra and @danrobinson, for Execution Tickets/Auctions. It is an interesting way to prevent hold-out problems and increase allocative efficiency at an, in my opinion, slightly increased risk of more multi-block MEV. https://mirror.xyz/0x03c29504CEcCa30B93FF5774183a1358D41fbeB1/TO_fODV1R1QampX9FVGOYP6m9WZAKckFsZjaj1dizTI

EIP7732 is live! 🎉 The first EIP on ePBS and separating proposer and builder roles. This EIP focuses on block auctions, but future work could extend to slot or ticket auctions. Feel free to take a look and ask any questions. https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7732

New post: Fork-Choice enforced Inclusion Lists (FOCIL): A simple committee-based inclusion list proposal 🦴 Designed and written w/ @barnabe, @fradamt and @julianma https://ethresear.ch/t/fork-choice-enforced-inclusion-lists-focil-a-simple-committee-based-inclusion-list-proposal/19870

I do think that's the case more or less. I wonder how friends such as @barnabe, @joncharbonneau, @gwart and @socrates1024 think about this line of thinking.

here's an extension of the ethstaker blog post i made a couple weeks ago - nailing down what we mean by "solo staker" and what other kinds of stakers there are some of these can be mixed and matched, too! e.g. you can be a home solo staker

are there divergent EIP dependencies for these various designs?

Thanks! I've read those. I was wondering if there's something more technically dense, like a paper format or even a Python spec format, that I might have missed.

You always have such great diagrams in your posts! 🔥

Uncrowdable inclusion lists by @julianma @barnabe and @soispoke https://ethresear.ch/t/uncrowdable-inclusion-lists-the-tension-between-chain-neutrality-preconfirmations-and-proposer-commitments/19372/1

I really like how the importance of progressively separating roles of 1. attesting (validating), 2. proposing (creating beacon blocks) & 3. building (constructing execution payloads) is explained in the article. This separation is the future of Ethereum.

Barnabé on ePBS, slot auctions, execution tickets, APS, preconfs, and "APS-Burn". Such pieces are also fav items in my "onchain library." https://mirror.xyz/barnabe.eth/QJ6W0mmyOwjec-2zuH6lZb0iEI2aYFB9gE-LHWIMzjQ?referrerAddress=0x36de990133D36d7E3DF9a820aA3eDE5a2320De71
