Gotta say that I love how the glamsterdam EIP updates are packaged in a digestible way for different stakeholders.
forkcast.org/upgrade/glamste…
Kudos @ethereumfndn
7708 is one of those almost invisible things but a big UX unlock for @safe users.

Very happy to share that I’ve been accepted into Cohort 7 of the @ethereum Protocol Fellowship, run by the @ethereumfndn's Protocol Support team.
I first came across Eth back in late 2017. At the time it was just something I found very interesting. A neutral, permissionless system that anyone could use or build on, not owned by any company, state, or institution.
In 2018 I really fell down the rabbit hole when DeFi started kicking off. I found the idea of an open, composable financial layer that anyone could build on top of really compelling. It felt like a completely new design space.
From there, Eth became my entry point into more complex topics like mechanism design, protocol economics, credible neutrality, and the challenge of coordinating large groups of people around shared infrastructure.
Over time this really shaped what I chose to study, what I chose to work on, and the kinds of problems I spend my time thinking about.
Most of my work so far has been at the app layer. The fellowship is a great opportunity to move closer to the bare metal. I'm looking forward to working on the protocol itself and learning from the people who are shaping what Eth becomes next.
I’m still narrowing down the exact project I will be working on, but currently looking into a Reth-based prototype around partial statefulness/state expiry, with broader interests in block production, censorship resistance, FOCIL, ePBS, and block-level access lists.
More broadly, I’m excited by this next phase of Eth protocol development: scaling, privacy, censorship resistance, credible neutrality, and the renewed focus on the values captured by CROPS.
Finally, a huge thank you to @C1aranMurray for introducing me to Eth back in 2017, to @post_polar_ for encouraging me to go for this, and to @joshdavislight and @TMIYChao for giving me the opportunity to take part!
Excited for the months ahead, and determined to contribute something meaningful to the protocol.

🔥 chefs are already cooking on top of frame transactions (eip-8141), a native AA proposal for the hegota upgrade
trouble keeping up? forkcast now displays dependent eips (including those not yet merged):

New EIP-8272: Recent Roots for Frame Transactions
by @soispoke, @nero_eth and @VitalikButerin
Another EIP to enable native, trustless, censorship-resistant privacy on Ethereum.
tldr: Private transactions on Ethereum often need to prove against a recent commitment tree root. This EIP lets a FrameTx carry that root directly in its signed envelope.
The protocol checks that the root was written onchain for the referenced slot and is still inside the usable window. This means validation can use the root without reading arbitrary application storage.
The goal is to help private transactions get FOCIL inclusion guarantees by making recent roots part of the partial state attesters will store after the transition to zkEVM.
Target fork: Hegota

Ethereum's validator set was still growing. 🖼️
Today: a different picture. 🖼️
Here's where consolidation toward the 128k target stands, what changed, who's moving, and why issuance keeps coming up. 🧵
Thanks @nixorokish for reviewing 🥰

So where does this leave us?
Consolidation works but it just can't close the gap alone.
A new validator launched at 32 ETH grows the validator set whether it has 0x02 credentials or not.
That means the big operators have to consolidate: @LidoFinance , @coinbase , @binance , @ether_fi, @krakenfx.
Together they're ~50% of network stake.

This is where issuance enters the conversation🙈
... which reduces the incentive to spin up new validators

Thread on #Ethereum validator consolidation progress 🧵
Only 0.86% of validators have 0x02 credentials, but they hold ~16% of all staked ETH.
Why?
Average 0x02 balance is ~700 ETH vs 32 ETH for standard validators.

Blockers have shifted from technical to structural:
- Reward gap during consolidations (~1d 3h)
- Bear-market conditions reduce urgency for marginal gains
- Non-custodial stake is hardest to move because end users decide
Knowledge gaps closed. Execution is the bottleneck.

Year-end 2026 projection, base case:
- 0x02 stake share: 45% to 52%
- Validator count: ~500k to ~620k
- Target: 128k
Even if every tracked commitment executes, 128k is unlikely in 2026.
Year-end gap: 370k to 490k validators above target.
