Ethereum core development is on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Here are 11 pieces of research, code, coordination, analysis & more that Protocol Guild members have shipped recently:
1. @timbeiko shared ‘Protocol’ a new structure for Ethereum R&D teams, with Tim and @adietrichs leading the efforts to scale L1, @fradamt & @ralexstokes leading efforts to scale l2, and @rudolf6_ & @barnabemonnot doing the same for improving UX 🫡
2. @potuz_eth shared thoughts on how much slot times could be shortened today, with delayed execution (7886) and with ePBS (7732)
3. @ignaciohagopian released a benchmarking suite for zkVMs alongside @kevaundray, @chfast, and @elbuenmayini
4. @soispoke released a paper “Multiple Proposer Transaction Fee Mechanism Design: Robust Incentives Against Censorship and Bribery” alongside @aikpstouka @_julianma
5. @soispoke proposed FOCIL as a headliner for Glamsterdam
6. @samcmAU from the @ethpandaops team shared an retrospective showing that the network is performing well after blobs were doubled in Pectra
7. @mikeneuder shared a model for incentivizing anonymous participation in prover markets (in collaboration with @bahrani_maryam)
8. @Dankrad shared his arguments for relaxing the hardware requirements for provers for the next few years, to avoid bottlenecking Ethereum’s ability to scale
9. @poojaranjan19 hosts @marcchill1 on PEEPanEIP to discuss how his work on EIP-7793 and EIP-7843 supports encrypted mempools and structured execution
10. @giuliorebuffo shared that 60M will be the default gas limit for Erigon’s next release
11. @terencechain shared that the Blob limit on Fusaka Devnet0 has been raised from 12 to 15 to 18 and will be lowered to simulate an emergency at epoch 1280 and then back up to 20 at epoch 1584

Amazing to see @Starknet recognize @ProtocolGuild members - the individuals stewarding Ethereum's core protocol development - as having substantially contributed to their L2 ecosystem!🫡
The 6m STRK will be deposited into a new vesting contract to be distributed over 4 years ⏳
The Starknet Provisions Program is designed for a broad distribution of STRK to those who’ve substantially contributed to Starknet.
Here are a few relevant details:
✨1.3 million addresses.
✨50% of the token distributed to Starknet users.
✨Ethereum stakers until the Merge, EIP authors, Protocol guild members - you might be eligible for Provisions.
✨All fees for claiming STRK via the Provisions portal will be covered by the Starknet Foundation to ensure maximum ease for those eligible for STRK.

Today, Protocol Guild is 6 months into the 12 month Pilot, with $10mm vesting to 119 core Ethereum contributors
Updates coming soon, stay tuned - planning what PG v2 will look like!
Make it a social norm for all DAOs (and other network tokens) building on Ethereum to allocate 1.5% of their tokens to the individuals building and designing the L1 infrastructure they rely upon.
These researchers and devs do more for most tokens than any VC

the 223k+ OP we were allocated will be distributed directly to our members over time to support the ongoing maintenance and evolution of crucial L1 software.
Across 5 Retro Funding rounds, the Collective has rewarded 8M+ OP to the core contributors to Ethereum.
In round 5, ±3.2M OP was rewarded to 30 core contributors to Ethereum including @go_ethereum, @ProtocolGuild, @solidity_lang, @erc4337, @nethermind, @ErigonEth, and Lighthouse.

1% of $SHAPE will vest to ~190 individuals stewarding Ethereum L1 R&D
We are so grateful to the Shape community for recognizing the value of this work
⛓🛡🤝🏼⚫️
life is simple: grow a garden, help ethereum, claim $SHAPE
shape is built on ethereum. so we’re pledging 1% of $SHAPE to the @ProtocolGuild, the org that houses the devs who make ethereum possible
join the pledge! 50% of all mint proceeds from @lennyjpg’s “Infinite Garden” go to the protocol guild
but gardening is hard work! so every garden has the chance to claim $SHAPE
if you minted before mar 25 @ 1pm et, you’ve already secured your first claim of $SHAPE. for everyone else, the top 2000 addresses by flower count will also have a chance to claim. snapshot on apr 8

We’re honored to have the @AlignedFndn take the Protocol Guild Pledge (+ a bonus .5%)!
We will host a Space in the near future for a deeper discussion on the motivation and how the funding will help retain top core dev talent
We have decided that 1.5% of the network will go to @ProtocolGuild. We wouldn’t be here without Ethereum and its core developers. Ethereum is the world computer and one of the most important innovations of our time.
ZK is going to eat the world, and we are going to be an important part of it.
SEND PROOFS.

Hundreds of individuals around the world work tirelessly to secure and improve the network software which underpins ETH the asset
Bitwise sets themselves apart as they embrace their role as funding supporter! 🙌 We appreciate the commitment and follow through
Today, Bitwise is donating $100,000 to support Ethereum open-source developers—the unsung heroes who secure and improve the network every day.
When the Bitwise Ethereum ETF ($ETHW) launched in July 2024, we committed to giving 10% of ETHW’s gross profits back to the Ethereum ecosystem each year. Today, we’re excited to be making the first annual donation for 2024.
The funds will go to two outstanding non-profit initiatives—@ProtocolGuild @PBS_Foundation—with critical missions: supporting Ethereum protocol research and development, and helping develop and maintain open-source Ethereum infrastructure.
To the investors who’ve chosen Bitwise and ETHW: thank you. We hope you’re as proud as we are to give back to the developers who make Ethereum better every day. We look forward to making more contributions as ETHW continues to grow.
We believe Ethereum is changing the world, and we will always strive to do our part to be a good steward of this incredible ecosystem alongside you.
From all 100 of us at Bitwise, thank you.
