Ethereum Beats - Exploring the Dance of Validators and Builders in Ethereum's Festival of Transactions
Note: This article is inspired by Barnabé’s article More pictures about proposers and builders. I am very inspired by his writings on Ethereum. Hence this article is dedicated to him.

Ethereum Based Sequencing with Preconfirmations
Overview
Ethereum’s evolving ecosystem is set to introduce new paradigms for rollups and chain interactions, emphasizing seamless transitions and enhanced user experiences. This section introduces a framework for Ethereum sequencing and pre-confirmations by Justin Drake12, a step toward realizing this vision, offering a unified platform for all...
Enhancing Ethereum Transactions with Based Preconfirmations
Overview
Based preconfirmations (preconfs) represent a significant advancement in Ethereum transaction processing, offering users swift and reliable execution. Through a combination of on-chain infrastructure, proposer accountability mechanisms, and flexible promise acquisition processes, preconfs stand to significantly enhance the user experie...
Unlocking Efficiency and Alignment - The Power of L1-Sequenced Based Rollups
Introduction to Based Rollups
In the evolving landscape of blockchain technology, “based” rollups, also known as L1-sequenced rollups, represent a notable advancement. Characterized by their integration with the foundational Layer 1 (L1) blockchains such as Ethereum, these rollups are directly sequenced by the activities on the L1 blockchain. T...
Envisioning Ethereum's Future - The Path to Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS)
ELI5
Imagine Ethereum as a busy city where builders create buildings (blocks) on plots of land given by city planners (proposers). Right now, a few big companies have most of the control over building, which isn’t ideal for our city’s future. The document talks about making this process part of the city’s rules, so everyone has a fair chance to...
Mastering Polynomial Commitments - A Beginner's Guide to the KZG Polynomial Commitment
TLDR
The KZG commitment scheme is like a cryptographic vault for securely locking away polynomials (mathematical equations) so that you can later prove you have them without giving away their secrets. It’s like making a sealed promise that you can validate without ever having to open it up and show the contents. Using advanced math based on elli...
