today, i kick off the BTC Toolkit series 🔧 the BTC Toolkit is a set of resources designed to help you track Bitcoin Core development like a pro. the first post dives into how code changes get made to the high value open-source software project that is Bitcoin Core

gm @notnotstorm dropped his latest tool for crypto data engineers - absorb absorb makes it easy to 1) collect, 2) manage, 3) query, and 4) customize datasets from nearly any data source

.@r_krasiuk shares the key benefits achieved and milestones needed to reach L1 ZKEVMs , Benefits : scale & privacy Milestones needed : ePBS which introduces asynchronous execution and opcode repricings are key

Important caveats by @adietrichs on Ethereum’s scaling efforts

.@adietrichs on why ePBS is exciting , “it’s getting Ethereum closer to full slot utilization”

TIL Hogota is the name of the Ethereum fork after Glamsterdam

I am giving a talk in ~1h at Frontiers on our Ethereum L1 scaling plans. Event livestream below, I also heavily recommend you check out the other talks. It’s a great event again this year! (I am scheduled for 10am PT, 7pm CEST, but currently ~15min behind).

Making a decision on an ACD call is not the same thing as creating consensus for a decision , it’s the latter that changes Ethereum , and nothing else

What initially drew many to Ethereum? Innovation, transparency, & open access. But as the ecosystem matures, newer protocols like Solana are capturing attention with faster iteration and fresh momentum. The pace of change may differ, but the spirit of building in public lives on. In a recent Amberdata Podcast hosted by @izzie_henderson, the Director of PM at Amberdata, had a deep dive into Ethereum with @christine_dkim! Watch the full podcast episode here.

The first MTD interview is out! This inaugural episode covers the origin story of full-time @HyperledgerBesu developer @robocopsgonemad. 🚓 Believe it or not, @robocopsgonemad wasn't always a fan of ethereum. He used to be a bitcoin maxi.
