Erigon 3 a New Paradigm for Ethereum Clients

Duration: 00:00:00

Speaker: Mark Holt

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

Erigon 3 represents a step change for Ethereum clients: * Modular client combining EL & CL * Transaction Centric * Deterministic storage model built to optimize EVM based chains * Performs on commodity drives * Sync model uses verifiable data replication and minimal re-execution * Acts as block consumer and producer, RPC, or indexer * Splits chain dissemination from chain distribution This talk outlines the key features of Erigon 3 and explains how it will change Ethereum client landscape.

Ethereum in 25 Minutes, Version MMXVII

So what are all of the different moving parts of the Ethereum blockchain? What are uncles, how do contracts call other contracts, who runs them? What is the role of proof of work and proof of stake, and what exactly is gas? What will EIP86 do for you? Vitalik Buterin provides a 25-minute technical overview of the ethereum blockchain, start to finish, and explain many of these concepts in detail.

Exploring the Future of Account Abstraction

Discover the journey of Ethereum's Account Abstraction (AA) from inception to its current state, challenges tackled by ERC-4337, and future roadmap: modular native AA approach for L2 and L1, and EOA improvement (EIP-7702).

Scaling Ethereum with DAS: an iterative approach

In this time between the launch of 4844 and the possible launch of a first version of PeerDAS, we explore and explain the iterative approach that has been employed in the rollout of blobs and DAS to Ethereum, and discuss the past and future steps.

Insights from block propagation in the Ethereum P2P network

Libp2p’s Gossipsub protocol is one of the most critical pieces of the Ethereum protocol stack, disseminating blocks between nodes on time and ensuring that misbehaving nodes are rejected from the network. ProbeLab has studied the performance of Gossipsub in Ethereum’s P2P network, building tooling to monitor block propagations and spot abnormalities. We revealed ample space for optimisation in the protocol, which will help define the next steps in Ethereum's roadmap. Come and hear our findings!

Native Account Abstraction in Pectra, rollups and beyond: combining EOF, EIP-7702 and RIP-7560

Account Abstraction has rightfully become one of the most discussed topics in the Ethereum ecosystem. The upcoming Pectra upgrade is set to be the first one to improve EOAs by including EIP-7702. But can EIP-7702 alone achieve "Account Abstraction"? We will discuss the challenges and benefits of EIP-7702, and break down the team's vision for achieving "complete" Native Account Abstraction with RIP-7560/EIP-7701 and how it differs from ERC-4337 + EIP-7702.

Yul, eWasm, Solidity: Progress and Future Plans

Over the last months, the Yul language has matured and proved its flexibility. The Solidity team has implemented an optimizer and an eWasm dialect and is now full steam working on rewriting the Solidity code generator to produce Yul code to replace sequences of EVM instructions.The Yul optimizer now matches the old EVM optimizer and already surpasses it with features like function inlining and cross-function optimization. This is also the main reason why the new code generator can be written in a super-modular way. Furthermore, it can equally operate on EVM- and eWasm-flavoured Yul code, which is important to cope with the 256- to 64-bit translation.Through this, the Solidity compiler can now output eWasm code, which makes efficient use of 64 bit types. Furthermore, the new code generator includes automated overflow checks everywhere, again something that would have destroyed the old optimizer. Future work:We plan to use a more intricate formal system to remove redundant operations and checks based on range-relations between variables. The introduction of memory area types will help optimizing memory allocation. Finally, a super-optimizer could prove useful, since it is worth spending extra time on compilation to save gas.

How to Raise the Gas Limit: Use Ultra High Resolution Data

Recent advances in EVM data processing enable a more rigorous approach for understanding and enacting Ethereum’s scaling roadmap. In the past, discussions around whether to raise Ethereum’s gas limit have been held back by imprecise terminology and a lack of detailed quantitative evidence. The debate is often “vibes-based”. Leveraging ultra high resolution datasets enables a more scientific understanding of the gas limit, including issues like state growth, hardware bottlenecks, and gas pricing.
