Technical Developments
- ZK Proof Implementation: Released a new zero-knowledge proof in mev-commit to protect against griefing attacks, with extremely high performance at ~0.122ms per proof generation
- Proof is now available on mainnet, aligning provider incentives in encrypted environments
- Benchmarks show proof generation takes only 122,404 ns/op (0.122 ms) per proof on a Macbook M1 Pro
- Gas optimization achieved with verification requiring only ~32k out of ~488k total gas for commitment opening
Partnerships & Integrations
- EigenYields Partnership: Collaboration enabling validators who opt in through EigenYields to receive dual rewards
- Validators earn both EigenYields points and mev-commit points simultaneously
- Partnership enhances validator yield while making Ethereum transactions faster
- Obol Collective Integration: Confirmed integration with Obol Collective on testnet through Lido's CSM modules
- Demonstrated how mev-commit's design makes validator opt-in simpler than other protocols
- Integration creates more decentralized, fault-tolerant network infrastructure that dramatically improves transaction speed
Events & Community
- Restaking for a Faster Ethereum Panel: Hosted panel featuring Obol Collective, SSV Network, EigenLabs, Renzo Protocol & BlockDaemon
- Discussed how restaking creates a capital efficiency flywheel that improves Ethereum's economic security layer
- Highlighted how mev-commit and other innovations are creating substantial yield opportunities for validators
- Based Apps Talk: Featured SSV Network CEO Alon Muroch discussing how based applications deliver security
- Emphasized that economics for validators are evolving beyond base fees to include preconfirmations and based sequencing
- Explained how improved validator economics create stronger incentives for small-time stakers, enhancing decentralization
- ETHDenver Events:
- Hosted "Preconf.erence" gathering with industry thought leaders on making Ethereum fast
- Presented the mev-commit whitepaper at the Bleeding Edge Summit
Points Program & Growth
- **Points Program Season 1 (Ongoing)**: Continued promoting the first season of the mev-commit points program
- Points awarded immediately upon validator opt-in, with additional points accruing daily
- Monthly multipliers increase earnings the longer validators stay opted in
- Implemented special accelerated tier for the first 25,000 validators who join
