Overview Simple Serialize (SSZ) is a serialization and Merkleization scheme designed specifically for Ethereum’s Beacon Chain. SSZ replaces the RLP serialization used on the execution layer (EL) everywhere across the consensus layer (CL) except the peer discovery protocol. Its development and adoption are aimed at enhancing the efficiency, secu...

Recursive Length Prefix (RLP) is a core serialization protocol used within the execution layer for encoding and parsing data. It is designed to serialize data and produce a structure readable by all client software. It is used for everything from transaction data to the entire state of the blockchain. This wiki page explores the internals of RLP...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
