Pectra and EIP-7251 taking effect. Less Validators but stable staked supply. Decreasing network load!

the eth core devs don’t tweet a lot about just how hard the work that they do is so let’s talk about it:
1. every line of code they merge can move more money than most banks process in a quarter. there is no staging server for that.
2. they swap consensus logic for a 400B + dollar economy without scheduling downtime. ever.
3. they coordinate hundreds of researchers, auditors, and client teams across time zones, cultures, and philosophies, yet ship like a single mind.
4. they do it all in public, with every decision dissected by the loudest peanut gallery on the internet, and still keep the vibe collaborative.
5. they design for attackers who have nine figure incentives and infinite patience. then they sleep anyway.
6. they keep six independent clients in perfect sync so the same block lives at the same height for every node in the world.
7. they turn bleeding edge research into production code while preserving backwards compatibility for machines that went online before defi even had a name.
8. they debug issues that only happen once a year on a single archive node because someone somewhere will rely on that edge case.
9. they write cryptography that must stay unbroken for decades while the math itself evolves beneath their feet.
10.when the upgrade lands smooth the outside world shrugs. inside ethereum we know it was a minor miracle. every successful fork proves that decentralized coordination can outperform the world’s best hierarchies and shows that open internet capital markets are now the default.
thank you, truly.
we owe you everything.

1/2 🗳️ Introducing DAVINCI: The L2 zk-rollup for universal voting, solving the flaws of both onchain and traditional systems
🎉 We’re excited to share that we’ve raised $1M to build DAVINCI, a voting protocol that does what no governance system has done before:
Censorship-resistant, gasless, anonymous, anti-coercion, and massively scalable voting.
All backed by cryptographic guarantees and Ethereum security.
Since 2018, our L1 blockchain has powered hundreds of secure elections for political parties, local governments, associations and DAOs. We built it with the best tools available at the time.
But technology evolves and today, breakthroughs in cryptography allow us to go far beyond what was previously possible.
DAVINCI is that leap forward:
A zk-SNARK–based state machine, run by a decentralized network of offchain Sequencers with token incentivization, designed to meet every requirement for secure and accessible voting for the masses:
🔐 Votes are anonymized, unlinkable, and tamper-proof
🤐 Re-encrypted ballots make bribery and intimidation ineffective
🧱 Modular ballot logic supports any voting method
⚙️ Rules enforced with zero-knowledge proofs and smart contracts
🌐 Voting is unstoppable, thanks to a decentralized network of Sequencers fueled by a native token
📦 High scalability, as all the votes are compressed into a single zk-proof and settled on Ethereum
In summary,
— No single authority can stop you from participating.
— Voting is gasless.
— Your choices remain entirely private.
— Scalable to milions
— And it all works at a fraction of the cost of direct onchain voting, with equivalent guarantees!

this might be the most important chart in crypto right now.
developer activity: one of the clearest signals of long-term health is down meaningfully from its peak. it appears that attention has shifted, incentives have dried up, and speculation once again moved faster than utility.
we all know there isn’t much to do onchain today.
and we also know that those building real foundations rarely get the spotlight.
we are also well aware that capital still flows to short-term dopamine loops, BUT...that game is starting to collapse under its own weight. and the lesson is coming:
if nothing meaningful happens onchain, distribution loses its power.
what we need now is not just more developers
we need more SUPPORT for developers
more teams thinking about end-to-end product, not just code
more focus on usable primitives, not just new mechanisms
more people helping projects reach real users
i’m excited to see the rise of more opinionated ecosystems
builders and incubators who actually help apps go from zero to one
and who understand that adoption is not inevitable,
it has to be earned, the hard way, the gritty way, the door-to-door way.
we need this desperately because what unlocks the next era is not a bull market driven by trade winds,
it is meaningful things to do, onchain, that people actually want.
those who help bring that to life
will shape the direction of everything that comes next

Today's a good day to remember why we're here.
We're building the future of finance—internet finance.
Unstoppable global free trade, not trade wars.
Credible neutrality, not entrenched interests.
Permissionless innovation, not bureaucracy.
Undebasable money, not money printers.
Sovereign individuals, not intermediaries.
A multi-decade vision, not 4-year cycles.
The internet, not imperial superpowers.
Positive-sum games, not rent-seeking.
Peaceful revolutions, not warmongers.
Cryptography, not aircraft carriers.
Network effects, not isolationism.
Fairness by design, not cronyism.
Open competition, not oligopoly.
Network states, not nationalism.
Frictionless markets, not tariffs.
Innovators, not lobbyists.
Builders, not lawyers.
Devs, not politicians.
Internet finance is coming. It's built different. Believe in something.

Optimism is all-in on Ethereum.
Together, we will make based and native rollups the fantastic products I know they can be.
Ben Jones from @Optimism announces intent to integrate based sequencing and native execution into the OP Stack, and suggests possible migration of OP Mainnet and other Superchain chains to being based + native.
🎉🥳

Privacy wins. Today the Fifth Circuit held that @USTreasury’s sanctions against Tornado Cash smart contracts are unlawful. This is a historic win for crypto and all who cares about defending liberty. @coinbase is proud to have helped lead this important challenge. 1/6

The issue with ETH is that the world has simply never seen anything like it before.
When something doesn’t fit someone’s narrative or frameworks, their brains tend to short circuit.
This is why we see such desperation in trying to label ETH as “digital oil” or “tech equity” or “programmable money.”
Ppl need frameworks they’ve been conditioned into accepting. “If it’s really money why does the price go up and down!?” Is a common gotcha.
Any junior analyst can track the 30day fees generated by ethereum and slap together an extrapolated thesis based on a p/e benchmarks that they find palatable. And indeed, we’ve seen many of these folks pop up over the past year.
That’s why they feel so secure with their Btc narratives, it fits so well within the models they’ve adjusted to. “Digital Gold” is so easy to lazily reason about that ppl just accept it. They look at the all-time gold chart and want Bitcoin to follow the same path.
Key thing there is to “follow” because Bitcoin doesn’t own its own narrative, it’s a narrative that is tethered to gold being valuable in the first place.
Trying to assign value to Eth is much more difficult, you can’t just mindlessly point to the chart of silver and Oil in expectation of future value because those assets are not out performers on long time frames, and thus not attractive for modelling.
Seeing the value in ETH requires a certain social awareness, a sense of understanding in the underlying mission of this industry, an appreciation for network effects, a heathy scepticism towards fiat money, a belief in internet native societies that can compete at the highest levels of innovation.
Seeing the value in ETH requires the vision to see the endless possibilities that can be achieved without the frictions of being subject to intermediaries and regulatory monopolies.
Seeing the value prop of ETH requires the ability to envision patterns and trends that have not yet formed. It requires an intuition for the abstract.
Seeing the value prop of ETH is in seeing a world where a sovereign economy exists on the internet unbounded by the constraints and norms of (politically captured) legacy systems.
Seeing the value in ETH, is simply seeing the value of humanity when you give ppl maximum expressive freedom.
The value of ETH cannot be defined in a single line.
In the short term, that may be troubling for analysts in search of an elevator pitch, but in the long term, the benefit is that ETH will define its own narrative, one that did not exist before it.
Eth owns its own narrative. Do not look to historical references in search of a premonition of its price action. Look to the future, beyond what you think is possible.
For the destiny of Ethereum is a road not yet travelled.
Long live Ethereum ✌️

2024 is the year that will define the rest of my life.
Honestly, I’m scared. But also hopeful that this community cares with a passion.
Please donate towards my legal defense.

For better decentralization we need to make solo-staking easy and power efficient. Great initiative from @AvadoCloud and light-weight @ethnimbus client. That‘s the way to go from CEX to self-sufficiency #SwitchToAvado

If you want to be excited about a single EIP, then this should be it:
eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7…
It's a very technical one but with one powerful result: turn every Android and iPhone into a secure hardware wallet for which the user never needs to think about keys ever again.

The work-for-income paradigm has been obsolete for ~20 years. You should only be working for like 5 hours a week, doing meaningful things. Unfortunately, your governments forced you to destroy your planet via 3-4 billion nonsensical #bullshitjobs instead.
