Caldera has partnered with EigenCloud @EigenLayer to integrate @eigen_da V2, unlocking a massive 100 MB/s of data throughput for your rollup. Now live on Caldera's Rollup Engine.

Last week we launched @eigen_da at 100MB/s 🔥 along with many other improvements. Ethereum is the gold standard for security. But when you need scalability, EigenDA transforms data availability from a constraint into a competitive advantage. Here's a new visual explainer of EigenDA along with some analogies to underscore the scale achieved with our new release: EigenDA visualized: What does 100MB/s achieve? A 2GB movie would take 20 seconds on EigenDA vs 8.9 hours. Uploading 1,000 high-res photos (3GB) takes 30 seconds on EigenDA vs 13.3 hours. A 500MB app update downloads in 5 seconds on EigenDA vs 2.2 hours. If blobs moved at walking speed (3 mph), EigenDA would be traveling at 4,800 mph - faster than a fighter jet. It's like comparing a single-lane country road to a 1,600-lane superhighway. 10,000 NFTs with metadata could be stored in 10 minutes on EigenDA vs 11 days on blobs. Loading a game world's assets takes minutes on EigenDA vs weeks on blobs. If you're looking to learn more or build on EigenDA, reach out to me, @0xkydo, or @mattmurrs

Ethereum is becoming the apex provider of programmable, verifiable trust for the digital economy

Last Friday we invited 30 student developers to the @eigenlayer office in Seattle to talk about building verifiable apps on @ethereum. It was refreshing to see the majority of attendees came from outside the crypto space (Amazon, Microsoft, etc). That felt like a win. If we want to keep leveling up this industry, we need to expand beyond just the 25,000 devs in crypto and welcome the 25 million software engineers in the world. A few more highlights: - Another inspiring crash course on the verifiable cloud by @sreeramkannan - Witnessed the legendary Ethereum speedrun live by @austingriffith - Proud to see our fellows and interns stepping up to teach EigenCloud ☁️ s/o @createdbymason @tesvarajiang @hanspham_ - @gajesh in his element causing chaos (the good kind) - Limited edition Eigen Summer t-shirts and handbooks

Today, the @eigenfoundation proposes Programmatic Incentives v2, the next evolution of EigenCloud’s onchain reward engine. ☑️ 3% to ETH Stakers (no change) ☑️ 4% to EIGEN Stakers (up from 1%) ☑️ 1% to Ecosystem Growth (new) Aimed at growing EIGEN staking & accelerating EigenCloud. v1 rewards continue until v2 is accepted.

throwing a students-only mixer in SF next week @ reply if you want to come

it's crazy that slashing in crypto completely destroys funds instead of using them in a more practical and positive sum way. with @eigenlayer redistribution, this is a solved problem. insurance products, lending platforms, stablecoin networks, bridges. almost any network or product can benefit from it. I vibe coded this 1 minute walkthrough if you'd like to get up to speed:

Open weights take the arb out of “only i can serve your model” Dario is pointing out that it doesn’t let people build on each other in the same way as other code. That is“we still have the arb of only i can build your next model” We need fully open models: open training data, open algorithms and then open weights.

If your project's white paper isn't in a massive frame at the entry to your HQ, are you even serious? Nice touch @eigenlayer @sreeramkannan @0xpratik 👏

Yesterday Ethereum turned 10. Today, lean Ethereum is unveiled as a vision—and personal mission—for the next 10 years. We stand at the dawn of a new era. Millions of TPS. Quantum adversaries. How does Ethereum marry extreme performance with uncompromising security and decentralization? TLDR: next-generation cryptography is central to winning both offense and defense. Disclaimer: This is a Drake take™ aimed at a broad audience. A technical deep dive into hash-based post-quantum signatures and SNARKs will follow. A healthy diversity of views across Protocol, the EF, and the broader Ethereum community is expected and welcome. It strengthens us. defense—fort mode Ethereum is special. 100% uptime since genesis. Unrivaled client diversity. $130B in economic security (35.7M ETH staked × $3.7K)—maybe soon $1T. Ethereum is poised to become the bedrock of the internet of value, securing hundreds of trillions over decades, even centuries. Ethereum must survive anything: nation states, quantum computers. Whatever comes. Call it fort mode. If the internet is up, Ethereum is up. If the world is online, the world is onchain. offense—beast mode Ethereum is hungry. “Scale L1, scale blobs” is a strategic urgency inside the EF’s Protocol cluster. Expect low-hanging performance gains over the next 6–12 months. Longer term? Think gigagas L1, teragas L2. Call it beast mode. → 1 gigagas/sec on L1: 10K TPS, ambitious vertical scale → 1 teragas/sec on L2: 1M TPS, sprawling horizontal scale Scale vs decentralization? Why not both. The moon math we need is now tamed: → real-time zkVMs for lean execution → data availability sampling (DAS) for lean data A delicious cherry on top: full chain verification across every browser, wallet, phone. lean upgrades Lean Ethereum proposes bold upgrades across all three L1 sublayers: → lean consensus is beacon chain 2.0: hardened for ultimate security and decentralization, plus finality in seconds; formerly branded as “beam chain” → lean data is blobs 2.0: post-quantum blobs, plus granular blob sizing for a calldata-like developer experience → lean execution is EVM 2.0: a minimal, SNARK-friendly instruction set (possibly RISC-V; pronounced “risk five”), boosting performance while preserving EVM compatibility and its network effects The consensus layer (CL), data layer (DL), execution layer (EL) have each been reimagined from first principles. Together, they unlock fort mode and beast mode. The goal: performance abundance under the constraint of non-negotiable continuity, maximum hardness, and refreshing simplicity. lean cryptography Hash-based cryptography is emerging as the ideal foundation for lean Ethereum. It offers a compelling, unified answer to two megatrends reshaping the ecosystem: → the explosive rise of SNARKs → the looming quantum threat Imagine the leanest cryptographic brick—the hash function—singlehandedly powering L1: → CL: hash-based aggregate signatures upgrade BLS signatures → DL: hash-based DAS commitments upgrade KZG commitments → EL: hash-based real-time zkVMs upgrade EVM re-execution A cryptographic jewel in each of lean CL, lean DL, lean EL. lean craft Lean Ethereum is more than a blueprint for hardening and scaling Ethereum. More than just doubling down on security, decentralisation, and cutting-edge cryptography. It is an aesthetic. An art form. A craft. Think Jiro in Dreams of Sushi. When we can go the extra mile, we do. Minimalism. Modularity. Encapsulated complexity. Formal verification. Provable security. Provable optimality. These are subtle yet important technical considerations. Stay tuned for the post on post-quantum cryptography that will make them explicit. lean legacy After 10 fantastic years, lean Ethereum is a generational oath. To keep Ethereum online no matter what. To scale it without compromise. To make it worthy of those who come next. This is about legacy. We are builders, we are missionaries. We are Ethereum. I hope you join us.
