[CLS] Ethereum Magicians Infinite Endgames: Ethconomics

Once again, Devcon will host Ethereum Magicians gatherings for the community to come together and discuss the most important topics in Ethereum's roadmap. Join us here to discuss the "infinite endgame" for Ethereum's economic model. We'll cover the role of Ether in the network's security, issuance proposals, out-of-protocol economic influences, and more! For more context, see: https://bit.ly/ethmag-sea

Block building after the Merge

We are seeing the emergence of a specialized role on the Ethereum network dedicated to assembling the contents of each block as the ecosystem grows and the impact of "maximum extractable value" (MEV) becomes clear. This talk investigates block building after the Merge and what considerations the move to proof-of-stake brings to the process along with what norms we should strive for to avoid dangerous centralization pressures while maximizing validator profits.

[CLS] Ethereum Magicians Infinite Endgames: Ethereum Execution

A fishbowl-style discussion with core Ethereum contributors and community to publicly discuss the "endgame" of execution on Ethereum. We will discuss what the evolution of Ethereum’s execution layer will look like, L1 vs. L2, settlement vs. execution, enshrined rollups, consensus changes vs. client performance improvements, etc.

Putting Eth2.0 To Work

There is much excitement around Ethereum 2.0 but given the fast pace of the project it can be hard to keep up. The relationship between today's Ethereum and the new system can be murky: does eth2.0 replace eth1.0? And where does eth1.x fit in?This talk answers these questions by sketching the lesser known ways eth2.0 can directly benefit Ethereum 1.x. The two systems in fact complement each other as each phase of eth2.0 paves the way for tangible benefits to the network we all know and love. With Phase 0, we can upgrade Ethereum with the finality gadget, leveraging the proof-of-stake consensus to provide better security for the existing chain. With Phase 1, the proof-of-work chain can use the data-only shards to enhance the scalability of L2 solutions like zk-rollup and Plasma. With Phase 2, we can bring existing dApps into the realm of highly scalable smart contracts on shards with an upgraded virtual machine.Participants will gain a better understanding of the many ways eth2.0 can help scalability in the near term and onward into the future. While the journey there may be dynamic and winding, it is clear that the future of Ethereum is bright.

[CLS] Ethereum Magicians Infinite Endgames: UX

UX has been at the forefront of Ethereum recently, as standards for Account and Chain Abstraction have been gaining significant traction in the space. Join us (literally! This panel will be “fishbowl style”) as we discuss the challenges that we will need to figure out first, such as cross-L2 key management, asset handling and transactions; avoiding fragmentation (liquidity, network, users); coordinating standards across L2s and wallets; and more

EIPs Simplified: History and Process Explained

It is planned to be an easy-to-understand session about Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). We'll explore the interesting history of EIPs and the important moments that have shaped different types and categories of proposals. Learn how EIPs go from an idea to becoming part of the Ethereum network, and see how editors help improve the standardization process. This talk is perfect for anyone who wants to learn about EIPs without getting into technical details.
