1/ Today we are excited to share with the Berachain community the first open source project built entirely in house, Polaris.
Presenting Polaris
The first OS project built from the ground up by the 🐻⛓️ team. Polaris is a general purpose blockchain framework enabling the integration of the EVM into any underlying consensus layer. Its current iteration has been optimized for the Cosmos SDK.

Hosting a space tomorrow with @mark0baricevic @zmanian and @camiinthisthang
We'll be chatting about BeaconKit, the story behind it and how you can spin up your own multi-execution client EVM L1 or L2.

I wish I had taken risks sooner in life, but I am doing at now and thats all that matters.
Anyone 18-25 reading this who is deciding what they want to do in life, just send it, fuck up while you're young and enjoy.

@berachain bArtio nodes running latest BeaconKit main are current consuming:
- Less than 1GB Memory
- 0.6vCPUs
- 2.11s avg 24hr blocktime
There are some things that make the GC work overtime I know I need to fix, another 10-15% reduction coming soon.

If we can find a way to align this with Berachain, there could be a Polaris path here.
EVM consumer chain proposal
Allocating 71.5% of supply to the community between ATOM stakers, CP, Hub validators and LP rewards
ATOM as gas token
I like it…now make it parallelized like Monad and you got yourself a home run for ATOM!

comet gossip is so incredibly fucked, we are contemplating running a second p2p network to gossip transactions so that validators don’t miss blocks.
On our internal devnet you can see block times slow down during times of high JSON-RPC tx submission:
Bearish on people who think that what is going on with cosmos is an issue with the fee market and not an issue with the gossip rules/mempool construction.

dev bear’s super secret parallel evm
- semaphore on every slot
- semaphores are a weird spicy semaphore that respects TxIndex
- add a sync waitgroup and go routines to state_processor.go “Process()” function in geth
- Boom parallel good project

ayo it me 🤣
was thinking about how a `BURN` opcode could be useful for many alt-L1’s and L2’s.
🤖 New EIP: 7xxx
By:
- Dev Bear (@itsdevbear)
🔗 github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pul…
This EIP proposes the introduction of a new `BURN` opcode to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) that allows for the burning of native tokens at a given address. The goal is to provide a standardized and efficient method for burning tokens, eliminating the current practice of making tokens irrecoverable by sending them to specific addresses. This opcode ensures a clear and consistent mechanism for token burning, which can be beneficial for Ethereum Layer 2 solutions and other EVM Layer 1 chains.

yeah Cosmos people need to sort their shit out. The fact that people don’t wanna be associated with the brand due to the politics is so negative it’s not even funny.
No more Comos based on profile
Still will build on the stack
Just too likely to get bashed by our our own community to want to be associated with unfortunately

mw3 is basically perfect, bring back slide cancel tac sprint reset and it’s better than mw2019
Even without tac sprint reset, it definitely fills the void that mw2 left. (For context I played the shit out of mw2019 / wz1 and barely touched mw2 / wz2)

The thing that has always bothered me about the SDK is how it forces you to do things “the way the sdk does them”, without allowing for flexibility.
Things like modular encoding, allowing spinning up secondary services and generally giving the developer more control around how their app runs is the thesis I would operate around. For example, in the SDK today you’re basically forced to use all the standard staking, slashing etc and it’s very difficult to remove. We are doing this for Berachain V2, but for the average developer who wants to spin up a chain, wanting to have custom staking logic shouldn’t turn into a 6 month research project.
#Cosmos devs, if you were going to rebuild the Cosmos SDK from scratch, what would you change?

+1, my ex coworkers (and friends at other companies) think I’m nuts.
Leaving FAAANG was the best decision I ever made, though spending a good chunk of time there was a huge leg up on learning good SWE practices.
Similarly, crypto tends to be much more popular and legitimized within the startup/venture scene than among the engineers resting and vesting at FAANG mega corps

I’ve been pushing to get this going for months, great to see it happening. Will be a huge.
@mark0baricevic we will definitely need to make sure the eth key signing stuff is good. Will be important for M*tamask.

7/ Custom Layer-2's
In addition to supporting EIP-4844, chain developers are able to use BeaconKit with any ABCI 2.0 compatible consensus engine, and thus can easily be plugged into Rollkit to create powerful layer-2 solutions.

Okay Cosmos lads. I got an interesting one.
I am trying to store important, but non consensus required data externally and sync it using a ExternalSnapshotter. This data is only needed if you want to support historical queries (it’s basically just dumping transaction data).
