https://archive.devcon.org/archive/watch/6/killing-eth-finding-consensus-issues-on-layer-1/

Ethereum's core protocol is highly security critical and thus needs to be tested thoroughly. This talk will discuss the testing methods we use to make sure that all execution layer clients implement the same protocol:
- Regression testing on hive
- EVM-fuzzing
- Devnets
- Shadow forks
We will discuss a bunch of interesting issues that we found with that

Censorship resistance is not a property of the protocol, it is a property of the community. The Ethereum community controls one of the most powerful tools in the crypto universe to combat censorship—but no one currently knows exactly how to use it. Swing by this talk to prepare yourself.

Scaling blockchains to support billions of users without compromising decentralization is one of the biggest remaining challenges in the crypto space. This talk will showcase why there is a fundamental scalability-dencentralization tradeoff for any monolithic chain, and how scalable rollups on top of decentralized settlement chains can overcome this tradeoff. What implications does this have for the future of Ethereum? Beginner friendly, with pictures!

Danksharding, ProtoDanksharding, & EIP4844 make use of KZG commitments which require a trusted setup.

As usual, Ethereum does this differently by having an order of magnitude more participants than previous trusted setups. I will be running through why the trusted setup is needed, how it works, and why you should trust it.

The merge unlocks a new era of truly light clients that can stay in sync with the Ethereum network using just 20 bytes / second. All obtained data can be verified in a trust-minimized manner, reducing the risk of a rogue centralized API provider serving incorrect data. This talk describes the latest advancements in CL light client protocols.

https://archive.devcon.org/archive/watch/6/post-merge-ethereum-client-architecture/

Take a look at the key components of a post-merge Ethereum "node" and how they fit together, encompassing both the consensus and execution clients. How do the two clients work together? What impact does the different designs of clients have on that? And what opportunities are there for execution and consensus clients to work together better in the future?

Let's break down the knowledge silos between consensus and execution layers to get the most out of merged future of Ethereum.

Special attention will be paid to features (address aliasing and expansion, RPC handing of system contracts, account abstraction) of other blockchains that Ethereum developers have discussed with an eye towards the compatibility issues they introduce.

https://archive.devcon.org/archive/watch/6/challenges-of-parallelizability-under-ethereums-execution-model/

We highlight two challenges of parallel execution on Ethereum: 1. Historical data shows that data dependencies force us to execute a large portion of transactions serially. 2. If we assign incentives to scheduling decisions, this might introduce non-determinism that the system cannot tolerate. In this lightning talk, we present these two problems and outline some proposed solutions.

Note that this work was accepted for and presented at ICSE'22 (https://bit.ly/3HzPKZT)

The talk seeks to address the following questions:

- How did we implement hybrid PBS on CL clients from history to functional products?
- What do they look like in code?
- What are the gotchas and the trade-offs?
- What are the remaining questions we shall seek before moving to full PBS?

The Ethereum merge is a high-stakes event for the entire industry, and requires several large, stateful, distributed software systems to behave flawlessly in order for it to succeed. Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to develop distributed stateful systems like a blockchain with high confidence. Many of the worst bugs in these systems don’t show up in the happy case, but require particular network, hardware, or timing conditions in order to manifest.
