At the end of 2022, the crypto world was grappling with the collapse of FTX and market sentiment was grim. Today, the industry is buzzing with excitement and positivity from crypto users and builders alike. So, what does the onchain data tell us about 2023?

This post examines the potential timing dynamics at play between validators and builders, particularly in the context of post EIP-4844 with blob transaction enabled. We analyze various scenarios, discussing preventable measures for each.

have recounted the history and prehistory of crypto elsewhere — the path from PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) through e-gold to Bitcoin. Now I want to take a look at what happened next, what went wrong with the Ethereum vision of the future, and how we can turn things around to make the blockchain the powerhouse of the future that it was always meant to be.

(Side note: other blockchain projects may compromise on these, at least in the short-medium term, just saying these are historically important tenets for Bitcoin and Ethereum communities)
