For 2025 we need Fusaka on L1 with PeerDAS, ideally with 48/72 blob target/limit Let's aim to get a Fusaka testnet with these blob parameters running the day after Pectra goes live.

I know this is less important than everything else about this whole clusterfuck, but Zelensky doing as much to legitimize going without a suit as Zuck did to legitimize dropping out of college is super based. https://x.com/KermlinRussia/status/1895591133914533915

Вот это настоящая храбрость. Иногда я могу быть смелым в интернете и однажды на конференции с безопасного расстояния 30 м поругал скаммера. Но эта женщина говорит неприятную правду тем, у кого есть оружие, хотя у неё оружия нет, и если ей повредят, наказание маловероятно. Герой https://x.com/igorsushko/status/1895199041019093353

Going to prison for the rest of your life over non-violent tax offenses is absurd. The case against Roger seems very politically motivated; like with @RealRossU, there have been plenty of people and corporations who have been accused of far worse and yet faced sentences far milder. The argument that the flashlight on him is motivated by things he said (advocacy of freedom and refusal to accept legitimacy of coercive state power) seems compelling. The US tax-by-citizenship and associated exit tax regime is extreme; the former is shared by almost no other countries in the world, and the latter is on the high end of what countries do (eg. UK only charges capital gains if you return within 5 years). If the IRS did intimidate Roger's lawyers to get privileged info, that is a bad faith move; right to consult lawyers in confidence must be kept sacrosanct. Mistakes should be treated by giving an opportunity to pay back taxes, not with prosecution. @FreeRogerVer https://x.com/RealRossU/status/1892619346293231741

Reminder: there's also plenty of people who have lost huge amounts of crypto to *loss* rather than theft. Software bug, forgotten password, lost device, paper wallet burned down in LA fire, upgraded device without backing up data .... lots of ways for that to happen. Because there's no attacker to go after, victims don't have a strong need to talk about it. And often because they see no one to blame but themselves, victims will be too ashamed to talk about it. But it happens. Often. And the truly robust wallet security solutions that our ecosystem needs to build should take loss into account too. (This is a big part of why I talk about social recovery so much!)

Aya first shared the idea of transitioning from ED of @ethereumfndn to President a year ago. She has accomplished much in her seven years as executive director of the EF. As I see it, the role of an ED is to create an environment where others can shine and do their best work, and so every success of the EF - the steady execution of Ethereum hard forks, client interop workshops, Devcon, Ethereum's culture and steadfast commitment to its mission and values, and more - is in part a result of Aya's stewardship. @AyaMiyagotchi will continue supporting the EF in many of the same ways in her new role. Meanwhile, we have been working on the new EF leadership structure, and will share more news soon. Stay tuned! https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/02/25/aya-announcement

我觉得我们第一个priority应该是改良以太坊L2之间的interoperability，因为没有太多stakeholders，大家有很多共同的利益，所以过程会简单很多。然后可以扩大，做更多cross crypto interoperability，甚至 crypto to fiat

当然会。可能最近最让我失望的时候是，有人说，以太坊不好，不宽容，因为我们不够尊重区块链上的 “赌场”，其他的链乐意接受任何应用，所以他们更好。如果区块链社区有这种道德颠倒，我就对参加区块链没有任何兴趣。但是我发现了一个有意思的一点：在互联网上，很多人会说那些话，但是我in person跟社区聊天的时候，大家的价值观还是跟以前一样的，所以我觉得我对这个社区有责任，不能抛弃他们，我们以太坊需要一起努力制造我们想看到的世界。这个会需要一些变化，比如基金会在应用层可能不能过于中立，需要特意支持一些事情，但是这个项目是值得做的。

做社交媒体算法，同时公平和避免spam的攻击，是很难的问题。farcaster的优点是，有一个网络，有不同的客户端都在一个网络上。所以如果一个客户端做的不好，任何人可以做自己的客户端，从第一天就可以跟整个farcaster网络聊天。所以我开心有tako，有firefly，有其他的客户端在farcaster生态里，如果他们能解决一些warpcast没有解决的问题，会很好

我觉得这种计划适合应用试试，有时候会失败有时候会成功。对以太坊来说，第一我们的资源不够做这种计划在对以太坊足够大的规模，第二，我们关心的主要不只是用户，而是开发者，第三，我们吸引什么样的开发者这个问题很重要。所以我觉得用社区的方式吸引开发者，需要的时候给一些具体的领域赞助但是不过于靠这个，最好

我觉得EIP-1559是被很多人误解的。主要的目标不是消耗以太币，而是提高市场的效率。EIP-1559之前，你发了一个交易有时候需要等1-15分钟等这个交易被确认，现在交易几乎每次1-2区块之内会被确认这个机制完全成功了，所以我们现在思考一些优化，比如 multidimensional gas ( https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7706 ），还有这种机制 https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1889013890291318838

> 您认为「协议级最小化治理」是否足以应对未来硬分叉中的利益博弈我这里觉得不会有严重问题。这是因为，几乎所有L1协议的决定是比较复杂的技术决定，很少有“对应用A好，对应用B不好“ 的特点。有时候有一点，比如，如果有EIP加一个新的EVM功能，有一些项目会用，有一些不会用，但是这些问题不是严重的，我们已经解决了好多次
