New EIP! Decoupled Consensus 🔗 github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pul… Highlights: - Validators would send two different message types: head votes for the available chain and finality attestations for the finality gadget, with separate propagation and inclusion rules. - Fork choice for the available chain uses only recent head votes (with cutoffs) plus expiring lock mechanisms to protect recently confirmed blocks when participation drops or messages are missing. - Finality would move off epoch-coupled voting: the whole validator set participates in independently scheduled finality rounds, and blocks can be justified/finalized as soon as ≥2/3 stake attestations are included in blocks. - The two subsystems interact through a “frame” provided by the finality gadget that constrains which blocks the available chain may build on and vote for (viable tree/heads, fork-choice root, frontier height handling). - It requires a consensus-layer hard fork and leaves major parameters and analysis as TBD (committee selection/VRFs, timing/lock parameters, encoding/aggregation, incentives, slashing details, fork transition, and proving the targeted ~4× faster finality). ELI5: Today Ethereum uses the same kind of vote messages to both (1) pick which block is the “current head” and (2) decide when blocks are “final” and can’t be changed. This proposal splits those into two separate jobs: a smaller, fast group votes each slot to quickly pick and “confirm” the head (with safety locks if votes are missing), while the whole validator set votes in separate, independent rounds to finalize blocks much faster. Keeping these two voting systems separate is meant to make chain reorganizations harder and let finality happen sooner.

Can Decentralized Networks Actually Beat Centralized Companies at Anything? Can open networks compete on price, speed and user experience, or do centralized companies still have the edge?

All in. Every time. Julia Garner and Anthony Boyle star as Caroline Ellison and Sam Bankman-Fried in this limited series about the love scorned prodigies behind the FTX scandal. The Altruists premieres November 19.

Aryan from CMT Digital says tokenomics based protocols are now competing with traditional structured products "There's a lot of opportunity. We're investors in the space, so I'd be worried if we didn't think so. But Ethereum and Solana and other ecosystems like Hyperliquid are proving that tokenomics based protocols can compete with the traditional structured product world." "We see that in HIP-3 on Hyperliquid. We see that in HIP-4 markets with prediction markets, and Polymarket and Kalshi. We see things that are only possible as a function of blockchain technology." "That story is going to continue. We're going to see more and more exotic products built on substrates like Hyperliquid HIP-3 markets." "So we're spending a lot of time thinking about what this ecosystem can provide that the traditional world just doesn't have access to, but demands."
