Biweekly update 23rd July — 6th August

Happy Birthday, Ethereum! These weeks marks the 5th anniversary of the Eth sale and the 4th anniversary of the genesis block. Five years ago, the Ethereum dream began kickstarting years of developer, startup, entrepreneur, and enterprise fervor! Now, five years later, the blockchain ecosystem is diverse, global, increasingly decentralized, and growing in importance, recognition, and prominence. Still astonishing to reflect on how far they have come. We wish the Ethereum team to keep willing an idea into being, built a vibrant community, and spread the ethos of decentralization to the world! ◊
For all Ethereum lovers, we have a lot of essential news as usual! During these weeks, the team was working assiduously, so they made significant progress with current development. Community calls took place: Core Devs Meeting, Eth2 implementers call. Ethereum 2.0 development updates were published: Prysmatic Labs, Nimbus, Lighthouse. Geth v1.9.1, web3js stable release, Truffle v5.0.29 with stable web3js, Vyper v0.1.0-beta.11, Ethereum on ARM released. For those who are a little behind of times, Justin Drake, an Eth 2.0 researcher at the Ethereum Foundation mentioned that the phase zero of Ethereum 2.0, which enables Proof of Stake, is targeted to launch on the 3rd of January 2020, only seven months from now! Ropsten Istanbul fork now scheduled for September 4th. The ecosystem is impressive, and it continues to flourish! New projects appear constantly! Developers have been working hard over the period of the last two weeks, many updates on projects build on Ethereum appeared: MetaMask Mobile is out in beta. You can now tip for tweets in the latest version of Brave. Numerai launched ErasureBay, an open market for any kind of information. The Gnosis Safe now has a WalletConnect integration. Tornado mixer using snarks live on Kovan testnet. 0x introduced coordinators, execution rules for a specific pool of liquidity. The Raiden Wizard, UI onboarding tool, was introduced. UNICEF Ventures using Bounties Network to track mentorship sessions. Blockade Games tying Lightning Network to Eth NFTs and code. And worth to mention, Enterprise Ethereum Alliance appoints Ethereum Foundation’s Aya Miyaguchi to the EEA Board and launches Mainnet Initiative. Berlin Ethereum Meetup videos, updated Eth2 mindmap, research and opinion articles were published. The year is well underway, cherry blossoms have fallen, and Devcon is quickly approaching! The conference fifth incarnation returns to East Asia later this year! Save the date — Osaka — October 8th-11th, 2019, and stay sharp! Ether is more than tangible, and serenity is just a matter of time!

Ethereum 2.0 Development Update #31 — Prysmatic Labs: biweekly updates written by the entire Prysmatic Labs team on the Ethereum 2.0 roadmap.

Nimbus Development Update, August 5.

Lighthouse Update #14:

It’s been crunch time over the last month with major progress being made on all fronts. The team has focused on improving test-net stability and our network stack as they prepare to achieve cross-client interoperability.

To summarise what they’ve been up to:

  • They are up to date with the spec freeze at v0.8.1.
  • Introduction of a basic chaos monkey to improve real-world testing.
  • Significantly improved test-net stability, reduced storage requirements, and more efficient memory management.
  • Further testing on fork-choice rules, fixing bugs along the way.
  • Updated network stack, conforming to the current libp2p rpc proposal.
  • Working on SSZ merkle partials, thanks to ConsenSys R&D for their PR.
  • Specification of their REST API, collaborating with potential users to ensure completeness.
  • Sigma Prime welcomes a new full-time developer to the team, dedicated to Lighthouse contributions.

Vitalik’s twitter explainer of stateless clients in context: markets for storage or data forever with free ride?

Multi-Threaded Data Availability On Eth 1: a scheme for enabling Ethereum 1.x to process data availability in parallel, potentially allowing the chain to indirectly process and secure many more transactions per second with minimal changes and without adverse effects on state growth. This is accomplished by deferring execution to secondary layers, so that Ethereum is mostly responsible for ordering and authenticating data, and processing fraud or validity proofs.

Development tools

SMTChecker toward completeness: Solidity’s SMTchecker now supports multi-transaction checks and unbounded loops.

1.0 Release Web3.js — web3js stable release.

Truffle v5.0.29 with stable web3js.

Governance and new standards proposals

According to the latest core devs call:

EIPs currently accepted into Istanbul: 1344 (chain ID opcode), 2028 (calldata gas reduction), 2024 (blake2b), 1108 (alt_bn128). EIPs tentatively accepted: 2200 (the new version of 1283 from Constantinople), 1962 (ECC precompile), 1884 (trie dependent reprice), 1057 (ProgPoW)

Per the pull request showing the Istanbul EIP decisions made on the call, EIPs 663, 1380, 1985, 2045, and 2046 were added as “tentatively accepted.” There was discussion around doing a second Instanbul fork and/or when to do the next fork after Istanbul. Disappointingly, the call lacked a rep from Geth as well as Parity.

Ropsten Istanbul fork now scheduled for September 4th.

ProgPoW is back into Istanbul (pending audit results). Kicking Off Our Review of ProgPoW by Liz Steininger.

Design and/or help review new PoW scheme. Preliminary report from ZCash ProgPoW audit: “ProgPoW is viable, but its use of GPU compute resources is far from optimal and its biggest advantage over Ethash isn’t its “programmability” but rather its different than Ethash’s reads from the DAG.”

Ameen Soleimani: Moloch DAO — A Simple Yet Unforgiving DAO to Fund Ethereum Development (#297):

Ameen Soleimani, Co-founder and CEO of SpankChan went on to create SpankChain in 2017 at the height of the ICO boom. The project aims to create a better and safer environment for sex workers by removing the intermediaries who take significant commissions on their revenues. SpankChain’s initial product, an adult cam platform, allows users to pay performers in crypto with a native asset over sophisticated payment channels. More recently, Ameen headed a project called Moloch DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization with the goal to fund Ethereum 2.0 development. Moloch has but few simple functions: making proposals, voting on proposals, and exiting. This simple design, heavily inspired on “The DAO” of 2016 has attracted funding from Vitalik Buterin, Joe Lubin and other prominent community members.

Colony’s Auryn MacMillan on DaoCast: In the first DAOcast episode with Colony, hosts are joined by Auryn to discuss the public launch of Glider, the project’s network for decentralized organizations. first episode with Colony, they are joined by Auryn to discuss the public launch of Glider, the project’s network for decentralized organizations. Auryn also shares his previous experiences with The DAO, given his engagement with that first decentralized experimentation through the creation of DAOHub. Besides exploring Colony style organization structures and incentives, as well as some aspects of the Colony dApp , they had a very insightful thought experiment on how Colony organizations could be synergistically connected, today, to other DAOs running on other ecosystems, such as Aragon and DAOstack. For all of these reasons, and more, this is definitely an episode worth checking.

66-Ether: The Triple-Point Asset, with Ryan Sean Adams: Ryan Sean Adams comes to POV to walk through each category, and talk about how Ether’s value proposition fits each one.

Topics of Conversation:

  • Ether as a Capital Asset, producing income for holders
  • Ether as a consumable asset, needed for all financial transactions
  • Ether as a SoV asset, a required asset for capital in Open-Finance
  • The internal/external economy hybrid of Ethereum
  • Ethereum’s internal economy producing more scarcity than a hard cap.
  • Does a pure money (BTC) out-compete an asset that strives to be multiple things (ETH).

Matic: Scalable and Instant Ethereum Transactions on Into the Ether: Jaynti Kanani, co-founder and CEO of Matic Network, joins the podcast to discuss bringing massive scale to the Ethereum network. Matic is a layer 2 solution for Ethereum which offers a hybrid approach of a plasma variant and proof of stake based side chains. This allows for not only instant ETH and token transfers on the side chains but also the ability to built entire decentralized applications on the plasma framework. This is an essential piece of infrastructure for the future of Ethereum.

MetaCartel: Improving and Funding Ethereum’s Application Layer on Into the Ether: Peter Pan joins Into the Ether to discuss MetaCartel and the formation of the MetaCartel DAO. What started out as a small working group to build out meta transactions on Ethereum for better UX has turned into the second largest active grants DAO on Ethereum. This is a great conversation around how we can improve the application layer on Ethereum, leading to better dapps and eventually mass adoption.

Maker DAO — The Central Bank of Web 3.0 on Epicenter: Hosts are joined by Rune Christensen, CEO and Co-Founder of MakerDAO. They discuss the rise of Maker DAI as an algorithmically backed stable token and get into the weeds of the new version featuring multi collateral DAI as well as the ability to natively generate interest on DAI. They also cover the current governance model and how this can be attacked. The governance will undergo an overhall for the new version of Maker, introducing an Emergency Shutdown that can be triggered through MKR holders and promises to make the system more resilient. Lastly, they venture into what Rune hopes the future will bring for MakerDAO.

Topics they discussed in this episode:

  • Recap of how single collateral DAI is kept at peg of 1 USD
  • Why was DAI intermittently trading at < 1USD
  • Governance functions exercised by MKR holders
  • Sale of MKR tokens and MKR distribution
  • Is the current governance model satisfactory?
  • New governance mechanisms to be rolled out soon
  • Introduction of multi collateral DAI
  • Interest generating DAI: Implementation and rationale
  • Future of Maker DAO: What will be able to serve as collateral?

Accumulators with Ben Fisch on Zero Knowledge: In this week’s episode, they chat with Ben Fisch, Stanford PhD student working in Dan Boneh’s applied cryptography group. In their conversation, they dig into accumulators, Merkle trees & vector commitments. They also learn a bit about the RSA Accumulator Paper — entitled Batching Techniques for Accumulators with Applications to IOPs and Stateless Blockchains — that he co-authored with Benedikt Bünz and touch on some of the ways these RSA accumulators could potentially be used in a blockchain context.
