What if we could make the Ethereum transaction journey and block construction process faster, cheaper, more flexible, censorship resistant, and robust?
What if we could do this today?
This is what the Blockspace Forum is about.
Our mission is simple: Help deliver the best-in-class Ethereum transaction journey.
We are Builders, Relays, Searchers, R(e)searchoors, Originators, Proposers. The list goes on. But at our core, we are beliETHers who want to keep pushing Ethereum forward.
A first research post kicked off our efforts, but over the next few months, you’ll find us identifying issues, designing solutions, and shipping.
Background
With every hardfork, every research paper, every ACDC call, Ethereum keeps evolving into what it always meant to be: The World Computer. But one part of the system hasn’t gotten all the love and attention it deserves.
The PBS pipeline, once the most in flux, now faded from most minds. The rails supporting 90% of Ethereum transactions are starting to age. The cracks are showing. Structural gaps in economics, robustness, performance, and services are all profoundly impacting Ethereum.
Why Now
At Devconnect BA, we hosted our first event. It involved workshops, comparing notes on what’s working, what’s brittle, and what’s being left on the table. Leading up to it, we kept hearing the same thing: everyone felt “out of the loop.”
The reality? Maybe there was no loop, leaving limited coordinated effort to identify the gaps and ship fixes. That’s what we’re here to help change.
The Questions We’re Asking
How can we shift this out-of-protocol system to make Ethereum more censorship resistant? How do we improve resilience? How do we stuff more into a block? How do we align economics and incentives? How do we continue to upgrade the transaction journey?
Follow along. There’s more coming.
The ticker is ETH.
