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. 8 replies

2) EL—scaling execution: Scaling L1 is valuable, even in a rollup-centric roadmap. @davidecrapis and @ansgar.eth are leading a working group on EVM resource pricing, targeting near-term execution scaling gains. Davide is also leading theoretical work on multi-dimensional fee markets—a more medium-term priority.
(3) DL—scaling data: Rollups consume data, making scaling data Ethereum's top priority. Historically, this has not been RIG’s core focus, but given its importance, we’re ramping up efforts. Topics on the radar: DA markets, FOCIL extension for blob txs, discussions around local block building, distributed block building, and mempools.
Onwards and upwards! 0 reply
