Appreciate the love on my walk and talks

The series needs a name. The current leader is “Random Walk.” 2-4 mins of me walking and talking with friends outside of crypto included occasionally.

1 ETH if I use it

we're up to 40%! block gas limits will go up to 36mm when this crosses 50% - it's likely this happens within the next week

this means a bit more blockspace for users + apps. once the network has time to digest the Pectra upgrade in March, expect further increases

post-holidays gas limit creeping up to 36mm.. will prob continue to accelerate. chart via @nero_eth 

ethereum L1 is scaling. while relatively modest, i expect further increases post pectra (~end of Q1) once vals digest effects of blob increases + other optimizations https://t.co/In16uqzTqB

31.5% signaling an increase !! block gas limits will go up when this crosses 50%

also see @etherscan's block gas limit chart over the years. tiny jump on the right is the change starting in Dec 2024. we still haven't crossed the high of march 2022 yet (30,047,000) https://t.co/bKwaGskGbY

Base

incredible work onboarding folks on the street

I'm sending @afrochicksnft $100 USDC and @base is granting her 1 ETH

politics

I actually really love how america has this deep level of culture of people (in this case, both the driver and the company execs) willing to be disobedient to authority in service of higher principles

I've spent the last few months in deep conversation with the @coinbase listings team on how they can better support and lift up builders, whether it's on @base or any other chain (L1, L2, everywhere)

There's a difference between what Coinbase wants to list, and what they're able to list, based on their status as a regulated exchange — but the team understands the lack of clarity and frustration and are committed to making the process better.

I know it's slow and I'm frustrated too — but me and the team are going to keep working until its fixed. I'll be having a discussion on the Regulatory Landscape with Paul on Thursday on @base, would love folks to tune in.

Going to share a little update related to my security incident Monday. Going to keep it terse for now, because I still have work to do, to fully put my mind at ease, but a few things I wanted to get out there for others, and I now have secured danfinlay.com to a degree where I no longer feel threatened by some self righteous sysadmins.

The geth team is hiring 👀 AFAIK, this is the first time they’ve had a public job posting..!
