p.s. As a quick follow-up on the previous beam call around post-quantum cryptography, Emile presented his findings on shorter aggregate signatures: his work on hash-based SNARKs using the proof system WHIR (over FRI) shows top of the class results with regard to proof size as well as codebase size for prover and verifier Feel free to check out all beam call related content in our PM repo here: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/tree/master/Breakout-Room-Meetings/beam-chain

Closing the call, Mihir from PierTwo presented their work on libp2p written in C, followed by Bing from the zen-eth team with their implementation of lib2pb written in zig

Lei from MegaETH afterwards showcased Set Reconciliation as a technique to minimise redundant messages. It allows nodes to efficiently find the differences in their data sets and exchange only the missing information. https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3651890.3672219

Next up Kamil from Quadrivium presented a network topology for faster message distribution among validators called GRID, and shared their experience using it in the context of building a client on the polkadot network https://hackmd.io/@kamilsa/B1gqs7wqye

@agemanning from SigmaPrime continued, highlighting a possible alternative to the currently used gossipsub protocol (for message gossiping) by proposing a more modular version called generalized gossipsub. This lets a network choose exactly how information spreads within it, even changing the rules for different types of information or at different times - improving its reliability and efficiency https://github.com/libp2p/specs/pull/664

Pop from the EF p2p networking team followed up with a different alternative (gossipsub v2), representing an evolution of the currently used gossipsub protocol, aiming at minimizing the duplication of messages floating across the network https://ethresear.ch/t/doubling-the-blob-count-with-gossipsub-v2-0/21893

Setting the stage, @justindrake laid out a strawman proposal, leveraging the existing beacon chain network framework (libp2p) and adding a two-level permissionless aggregation layer - utilizing recursive aggregation for post-quantum signatures first on a subnet-level and later on a global level

Coming back to the core topic of this call: p2p-networking. As a quick introduction: One of the main objectives is to come up with an effective networking protocol for peer discovery and message passing (gossiping) between nodes. Such protocol must strike the right balance between latency, message transportation resilience, and bandwidth usage. A key parameter is the size of messages distributed among peers. The substantial increase in size of post-quantum signatures in the context of the beam chain compared to current signatures necessitates exploring more optimal networking protocols

Although the beam chain is still just a proposal for a future version of Ethereum’s consensus layer, we were pleased to host more than eighty curious people on the call. We are grateful for the growing interest in the project. Feel free to DM me if you also wanted to join one of our upcoming calls on ‘minslack’ (a more optimal validator exit queue design), Attester-Proposer-Separation and Three-Slot-Finality.

🧵 Rainbow roles & incentives: ABPS + FOCILR + AS This post explores the limits of a maximally unbundled staking set, examining potential rainbow roles and the incentive designs required to coordinate them. It presents three unbundling mechanisms: https://ethresear.ch/t/rainbow-roles-incentives-abps-focilr-as/21826

Thank you Farcaster for spreading the word, and special thanks to the Telegram fairy who got me unblocked 🙏❤️ Today I have another mission I need help with :) I would like to buy the @justindrake Twitter handle. I'm willing to spend $10K on it—$5K to the owner, plus a $5K bounty to a coordinator who pulls off a trade. The owner barely uses the account. Coincidentally, he's in crypto and participated in NFTs and airdrops. A bit of sleuthing allowed me to locate him. I've tried messaging through a couple avenues but so far failed to reach him. To avoid several people reaching out to the owner I'll only give this mission to one person. Please message me to get the job, briefly explaining why you think you could get it done. https://warpcast.com/justindrake/0xc008d37c

https://hackmd.io/@austonst-aestus/BJsvEoia6 (Sophisticated) validators play timing games to optimize for value extraction. Relays like Aestus offer them as a service to any validator. How does this level the playing field among validators? What are risks and tradeoffs? see more below 👇

Summarised some notes I took during ZuBerlin regarding proposer collateralisation, mostly paraphrasing our discussions with a few annotations. (h/t @mteamisloading for further discussions). https://hackmd.io/@Ladislaus/rJfRYJoB0

I just donated to Web3 Infrastructure on @gitcoin's grantsstack. No more network/bridging/gas fee/passport hassle -> lessons learned💪 Bull market or not, open source projects still remain tricky to monetize from. -> sharing is caring
