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...
