This talk convinced me that Ethereum can implement multiple concurrent block proposers proposes a new design called Braid, based on the simple idea of running many instances of Ethereum consensus in parallel I think this could become a defining part of the roadmap

@MaxResnick1 Cc @MaxResnick1 Could you elaborate on the question at 21:25 regarding shared state, specifically: - "arbitrated by the execution layer" - "[EL] applying the deterministic ordering rule" so an ordering eventually emerges, but how, who, and when?

Dan Robinson2 years ago

@MaxResnick1 Max wants to overthink it, but you can just take the union of all transactions in all of the blocks for slot N and sort them by descending priority order, and that should be pretty good

.Justin Drake: "I don't see how ETH could not flip BTC" Justin is asked: What's Ethereum? Is it a settlement layer? A world computer? Monetary network? He responds: "For me, this hasn't changed for many years. Ethereum is the Internet of Value." "In order to be successful as the Internet of Value you need very good money at the center of it because that will be the substrate -- the economic bandwidth -- that will allow you to build a lot of services (e.g. loans, stablecoins)." "In some sense, the success of the platform and the success of the money are tied at the hip. This is why I think those who are pushing for ETH as money are really helping the platform and vice versa -- those who are helping the platform are helping with ETH the money." "One of my theses is that we'll have winner-takes-most platforms. There's only one Internet. There's only going to be one Internet of Value that captures 90-99% of all economic activity. And just for weird, path-dependent reasons, we have Bitcoin that is the largest money right now. But I think this is a highly-unstable equilibrium for multiple reasons. And I think the best candidate to win the Internet of Value is by far Ethereum." Fede’s intern 🥊 adds to this point, "I was never convinced there was a chance of [Ethereum flipping Bitcoin] to be honest. But I'm getting convinced there's a high probability -- you [Justin] have played a part in convincing me because of the issuance (declining block subsidy) and now the post-quantum. I do think there's a high chance that ETH becomes the dominant economic substrate in the long-term. I don't see how proof-of-work could work long-term." Justin echoes this: "Unless there's some catastrophic failure of Ethereum, I don't see how Ethereum could not flip Bitcoin."

Tom Lee: Why Ethereum Could Become a $5 Trillion Network On July 7, 2026, Tom Lee Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com stated in an interview with the New Era Finance Podcast that at its current valuation of around $300 billion, Ethereum is grossly undervalued. As traditional assets like stocks and real estate gradually become composable, monetized, and digitized, running on Ethereum and other blockchains, he believes Ethereum could easily become a $1 trillion to $5 trillion network in the next few years. Regarding how Ethereum captures value, Tom Lee compared it to land; if everything happens on Ethereum, then Ethereum is equivalent to the land of the digital world, making it the core asset that should appreciate over time.

Kevin argues that transacting on Ethereum could become faster and more predictable, and that validators would get a higher yield, as a result of this market. Presented by ETHGas

Gigagas ETH L1 (10K TPS) The vision for scaling Ethereum is for the L1 to become a full ZKL1, a future unlocked by zKVMs (like Succinct's SP1) and Real-Time Proving. At the EthCC - Ethereum Community Conference, Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation presented a roadmap that will allow the mainnet to achieve a throughput of ~10,000 TPS. This approach also radically increases decentralization, making it possible to run a full validator node on a $7 Raspberry Pi Pico device that consumes one watt of power. The roadmap includes an ambitious plan to increase the L1 gas limit 3x annually.

Electric Capital co-founder Avichal Garg: Ethereum is a programmable store of value “I think the right frame is that Bitcoin is an existence proof. Ethereum is perhaps the second example of an internet-native store of value. It just has different properties and is useful in its own way.” “The fact that you can actually build on top of Ethereum — it’s a programmable store of value — is I think what’s really fascinating. In theory Bitcoin is programmable but it wasn’t really designed for that, and in many ways it’s sort of antithetical to the base layer: you don’t actually want it to change. That’s sort of the superpower of Bitcoin: you know what you’re getting. And that stability is really important.” “But with Ethereum you have stablecoins on it, and that’s where all the stablecoin volume is. And ultimately, if you look at where the global financial system will be built, I think it’s going to be built in the non-sovereign space. It will likely be built on top of Ethereum.”

On Pass The Block this week, we've got a front-end demo showcasing the functionality of Avail Nexus in a mocked integration with Aave. In this demo, we walk through the experience for an Aave user, showcasing how simple cross-chain liquidity flows can take place with Avail Nexus. Here’s what the demo covers: 1. A user lends ETH tokens that are on the Ethereum, BNB Chain and Polygon networks. The ETH tokens are seamlessly deposited onto the Ethereum network 2. Using the deposited ETH as collateral on Ethereum, the user borrows $100k USDC on Base. 3. The user then borrows an additional $10k USDC on Polygon, still using the ETH collateral on Ethereum. All of this happens without leaving the application or manually bridging assets. Note: This is a mock-up of an Aave front-end to demonstrate the usability of apps built with Avail Nexus on the backend. Avail Nexus is a powerful, verifiable interoperability solution that can streamline the onchain experience for any integrated web3 app or blockchain network.

Robinhood Chain hit $989 million in daily DEX volume and is now out-earning Ethereum in fees "Robinhood Chain, predictably I think, is absolutely exploding. They have such a big name, so many customers, so much interest in the crypto space." "They've launched Robinhood Chain, which is a layer two on Ethereum that's part of the Arbitrum stack using their technology. Arbitrum has gone up recently as a result." "This is now the largest L2, arguably, by volume on Ethereum, and has even surpassed Ethereum itself, even though it's a layer two, in fees gathered over the past 24 hours." "A lot of that is because of memecoins. But not just memecoins, tokenized stocks have absolutely exploded here on Robinhood Chain."

Tom Lee: Ethereum DATs can use ~$500 million in annual staking rewards to fund grants for Ethereum ecosystem “The Ethereum Treasuries — Bitmine and Sharplink among others — now own 7% of the Ethereum supply… Treasury stock is essentially supply permanently taken out from the ecosystem, but we also own the yield. The yield is around 3% so today these public treasuries are generating ~$500 million in rewards, and that is what we can use to fund and grant the crypto ecosystem.” Lee believes that the Ethereum Foundation narrowing its focus to CROPs (censorship resistance, openness, privacy and security) is the right decision. “Ethereum is a $240 billion network value entity. It has been operating for 11 years without a single day of downtime. There’s 11,500 nodes in 89 different countries. And there’s 15,000 developers. I think this is too big to be coordinated by a single foundation.” As Ethereum continues to scale, he believes the ecosystem will move beyond a foundation-centric model and points to private companies like Etherealize, Optimism, Consensys, Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, and Offchain Labs that represent the Ethereum ecosystem and are already doing enterprise engagement. “This list doesn’t yet reflect the spinoffs coming from the Ethereum Foundation. There’s at least five, and I think Bitmine will play a role in granting and supporting any of those that come out.” “I think Ethereum is in good hands because the foundation is going to be stronger by staying focused. We have a lot of private sector companies already building products and important L2s on Ethereum. And of course, the treasuries are here to help with funding and granting… If you’re bearish, you are selling at the bottom.”
