X post recapping August Ethereum EIP work, plus Robinhood Chain and the usual scramble over who captures value.

01 02 How does Base get from Stage 0 trust-me mode to Stage 1, and why does Cannon turn disputes into one L1 step?03 Is EIP-8288 the trick to make post-quantum Ethereum signatures less ruinously expensive? That's the pitch, anyway.04 EF protocol folks are doing a Reddit AMA, with the usual grab bag: PQ, zkEVM, formal verification, privacy.05 Turns out sender limits can be historical, not fixed, in this mempool proposal for width-based admission charges and anti-DoS rules.06 Paper on event/state mismatches in smart contracts, with EventSpec to infer specs and flag bugs, because logs can lie too.07 Is Ethereum's "Strawmap" trading liveness for prover-heavy complexity as it drags more economics onto L1?08 How can two databases holding the same state differ 7× in performance? — state-actor vs a mainnet snapshot cperezz.github.ioCase study on geth state DB perf, comparing synthetic state-actor vs mainnet snapshot and finding a 7× gap, naturally.09 44 JSON-RPC probes for an Ethereum-compatible L1, mapping where the chain matches Ethereum and where it quietly doesn't.10 Can Ethereum privacy get cheap enough to matter, or do ZK/FHE/iO costs keep it a luxury feature?11 Yet another Ethereum scaling explainer, this one on Glamsterdam and how it tries to grow up without wrecking decentralization.12 Ethereum’s 2029 quantum-safe L1 plan starts with account abstraction and censorship resistance, not the PQ crypto itself.13 Ethereum Foundation Protocol's tier list for 62 Hegotá EIPs, with grades and dependencies; governance by spreadsheet, naturally.14 X roundup of Ethereum ecosystem updates: Glamsterdam timeline, post-quantum planning, MetaMask security, and assorted tooling.15 Recommends Hegotá repricing block data and state growth, while skipping most refund and warm/cold gymnastics that keep gas a mess.16 An argument for treating ERCs as verifiable specs, with formal models, tests, mutation analysis, and runtime evidence.17 FIPS 204 ML-DSA-44 on the EVM, cut from 8.09M to 1.23M gas with SHAKE/NTT/packing tricks, because why not.18 G7 calls for urgent post-quantum cryptography upgrade, Europe sets 2026 transition deadline en.coin-turk.comDo you have a PQC migration plan, or are you waiting for Bitcoin's signatures to get even bigger?19 Liquidity, apparently, is the real victim of optimistic rollups, so this argues Base should eat the ZK migration bill.20 Six years of Ethereum tx graph, using persistent homology to spot structural breaks and beat boring volatility baselines.21 So what is a ciphernode, and why does The Interfold need committee key sharing for Ethereum threshold decryption?22 Can row subnets take blob reconstruction off the beefy nodes? RowDAS (EIP-8371) has Prysm measurements and fallback data.23 What are Ciphernodes/E3s, and how do they dodge both a decryption bottleneck and onchain transparency? Here's the design.24 Ethereum thread on making client hard forks prove things, while politely admitting proofs don't replace tests or judgment.25 Write-up on an ML-DSA-44 Ethereum verifier that cuts verification to 1.23M gas, so PQ auth is merely expensive.26 Opinion piece on Hegotá's EIPs for state growth, frame txs, legacy cleanup, and PBT trie migration, gated after Glamsterdam.27 Binary fields, the thing everyone ignores until proof arithmetic gets weird, in Ethproofs call #10 video.28 Comparative map of onchain privacy models, mostly to show how much "privacy" is just permissioning with nicer fonts.29 Relaxed Sender Anonymity for CBDC Interbank Settlement: A Zero-Knowledge Approach on Permissioned EVM arxiv.orgPaper on ZK CBDC interbank settlement for permissioned EVMs, hiding everything but sender, because compliance gets hobbies.30 Account Abstraction on L1; Motivations and principles of fast Ethereum; Fast finality formalisation milestone. x.comWhat does L1 account abstraction buy you, and how close is fast Ethereum finality formalized?
