I have recently taken on my new role as team lead of the Robust Incentives Group (RIG) and I am truly excited to continue pushing Ethereum forward together with our incredible team: @julianma @soispoke @anderselowsson @davidecrapis. A quick note on what do at RIG and some of our latest research: At RIG, we study Ethereum’s protocol architecture and mechanisms through the lens of game theory, mechanism design, using formal methods, and empirical analysis. While our work has an economic focus, it is inherently interdisciplinary—drawing insights from economics, computer science, cryptography, distributed systems, and beyond. We work and collaborate across these fields to find ways to improve Ethereum, balancing long-term foundational research with practical proposals for mainnet upgrades—biasing towards the latter. Our goal: mechanisms that are rigorous and practical.

Introducing issuance.wtf - a collection of resources on Ethereum's current issuance discussion. I will try to keep it ~up-to-date~, but please point out missing resources or DM with questions/comments/requests.

thanks for having us on and the productive back and forth @hasu @joncharbonneau! staking economics is a super important topic and hopefully this convo helps to give more context on the intentions of our proposals and how we see things :)

wrote down some thoughts with @ansgar.eth, exploring the status quo of staking economics, its drawbacks as we see them, and what the endgame of staking economics could look like + what we should do in the short term until endgame.

had to update my plots because staking ratio went from 0.24 to 0.25 since I started writing something. Deposits are faster than I can write lol

One of favorites on the wishlist is about modeling rational protocol participation, or rational consensus in short
