EIP-4788 “Beacon block root in the EVM”
Jan 5, 2024
This EIP proposes to expose the beacon chain block root in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The beacon chain block root is a type of accumulator used to prove arbitrary consensus states.
By exposing the beacon chain block root in the Ethereum Virtual Machine, it allows for access to the Ethereum consensus layer with minimized trust. This improvement protocol also facilitates the development of use cases such as Staking Pools and smart contract bridges, enhancing their trust assumptions. #Web3 #ETH #Rollup #OPStack #Layer2 #Layer3 #EVM #OVM #Lollipop #POP
