1/ The Ethereum protocol prices congestion correctly. Wallets don’t. • 25 days of data. • ~185k observations. • 3 wallets. One clear mismatch ↓

If you propose blocks ePBS changes how externally built blocks are sourced. You pick a builder's bid directly and then that builder decides later in the slot, whether to actually deliver the payload. We built epbs.space so you can see what's actually going on.

Today I will be proposing faster slots for inclusion in Hegotá, to All Core Devs. Faster slots improve the value of Ethereum blockspace. This is value that accrues to Ethereum users, to the network as a whole, and to ETH in particular. While we cannot expect more than a moderate slot time reduction in Hegotá, there is a one-time cost to pay for any future slot time reductions, and Hegotá is likely the last window before long where it is sensible to pay this one-time cost. This opens the door for continuous improvements as fast finality, post-quantum and zk roadmaps progress. If you would like to support directly this EIP, or discuss possible contract or infra issues related to a slot time change, my DMs are open.

1/ Today, Ethereum's PBS market is limited by structural gaps. The Blockspace Forum exists to address them. This post (links to follow) presents an initial design of Multi-Party Block Construction (MPBC), which builds on a year of workshops and conversations across Ethereum.

Ethereum needs an Encrypted Mempool and it needs it fast. It's not just about stopping sandwiching. Encrypted mempools are how Ethereum matures its onchain markets. I just published a post on why Ethereum needs encrypted mempools. Here are the core arguments:

Just wrapped ACDC#175. Was quite a short call, but clients are heads down working on ePBS implementations towards Glamsterdam devnets. Even so, we confirmed FOCIL as the (CL) headliner for the Hegotá hard fork! Thanks to everyone who put in the work to get to this point.
