Taiko is a decentralized, Ethereum-equivalent (type I) rollup scaling solution which uses ZK technology. Taiko's goal is to scale Ethereum efficiently while maintaining security and decentralization. Being a type I zkEVM, Taiko retains full Ethereum equivalence, which creates a seamless DevEx, although this comes at the expense of UX as slower proof generation is the main trade-off. Moreover, in order to stay true to its decentralised ethos, Taiko operates as a based rollup, meaning that transaction sequencing is performed by L1 validators.Topics covered in this episode:Joaquin's backgroundLoopring and Taiko's beginningsThe 4 types of zkEVMsTaiko's zk circuits vs. Polygon'sBased sequencingData availability and blob commitmentEthereum's role in the futureThe L2 landscape and its compromisesSequencer security modelDealing with MEVBased preconfirmations & Taiko ecosystem UXEpisode links:Joaquin Mendes on XTaiko on XLoopring on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

One of the most limited blockchain resources is blockspace. From Bitcoin's Blocksize Wars to Ethereum's scaling roadmap, a common denominator seems to have emerged in the form of rollups. Advancements in zero knowledge proofs have enabled trustless bridges, which are a cornerstone to onboarding liquidity to any blockchain. Furthermore, Celestia's modular approach to blockchain architecture and their recent commitment to gigabyte blocks of data availability marked the beginning of commoditization for rollups. Abundance is the first rollup-as-a-service platform that is able to scale to 1 gigagas/second throughput, finally bringing off-chain applications, on-chain.Topics covered in this episode:Gelato's pivot to rollup-as-a-service platformSovereign rollupsEnshrined bridges and settlement proofsAbundance and 1 Gigagas/second rollupsModularitySecurity assumptionsSequencer (de)centralisationSocial consensusCelestia's DA layer bandwidthEthereum native rollupsDecentralisation and censorship-resistanceEpisode links:Hilmar Orth on XGelato Network on XAbundance on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Lex interviews Michael Heinrich, co-founder and CEO of 0G (Zero Gravity) Labs. In this exciting episode, Lex and Michael explore the concept of decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) and how it differs from centralized, closed-source AI models provided by big tech companies. Michael kicks off with his background in tech and finance, and how he became interested in decentralized AI as a solution to the issues with closed AI systems. Notable discussion points: (1) Decentralized AI provides transparency and verifiability around the data, training, and model alignment used, unlike closed AI systems. (2) Blockchain-based systems can help enforce a "code of conduct" for AI models and ensure fair rewards distribution for data contributors. (3) 0G Labs is building a decentralized AI operating system focused on key components like decentralized storage, data availability, and a serving layer for AI inference. (4) And lastly, the company is working with various providers of AI verification mechanisms (zKML, OPML, TEML, etc.) to integrate with their decentralized AI platform. The ultimate goal is to provide a seamless user experience for building and deploying decentralized AI applications, similar to how centralized tech platforms operate today. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: 0G, 0G Labs, Zero Gravity Labs, Bridgewater Associates, ORA, Story Protocol, AI, Artificial Intelligence, Decentralized AI, Tokenized AI, Web3, Blockchain, zkML, TeeML, OPML, SPML ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT 

Is the Beam Chain the endgame for Ethereum? At Devcon, Justin Drake presented what he called his most ambitious proposal to date! Beam Chain, a roadmap which fell very flat in public discourse. In this episode we fill the gaps of this reaction and we discuss the rise of Credible Competition to the three major components of Ethereum Roadmap. Execution, which competes with Solana, Data Availability which competes with Celestia and Consensus, which competes with Bitcoin. So what's Ethereum's strategy for winning this Three Front War against three legitimate competitors? Stay tuned! ------

As Ethereum's roadmap shifted to a rollup-centric approach, a plethora of rollups have been launched, to the point where L3s have been conceptualized. Celestia sits at the forefront of modularity as it aims to replace the monolithic blockchain architecture with specialized layers that are more suited for scalability and customization. As a result, Celestia strictly focuses on data availability to accommodate the recent rollup expansion, as data storage represents the largest portion of fees on L2s. The Lemongrass upgrade lays the foundation for further use cases being enabled through Celestia, mainly revolving around interoperability and zk proof enabled ‘lazy bridging'. Topics covered in this episode:The vision behind CelestiaRollup architectureCentralised sequencers and the role of fraud proofsCelestia's market shareRollkit & sovereign rollupsGovernance & light clientsThe importance of decentralisation: L1s vs. rollupsCelestia's data availability capacityLatency & Celestia block timesInteroperability & ‘lazy bridging'The Lemongrass upgradeOn-chain economics & value accrualInterchain accounts on CelestiaCrypto's mainstream adoptionFuture roadmapEpisode links:Mustafa Al-Bassam on TwitterIsmail Khoffi on TwitterCelestia on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Is the Ethereum's Rollup centric roadmap a Queen Sacrifice blunder? That's the core question the industry is asking and Bankless has aired some of these dissents. Today's episode voices a counter to the doubters. Mike Neuder is an Ethereum developer and previous Bankless guest. He thinks the Ethereum roadmap is pretty great as is, it's right on track, in fact, his message is to stay the course, play the long game, and watch ETH grow in value as a monetary asset as the Ethereum economy grows across L2s.     ------

Today, we're diving into a topic that's crucial for the future of Ethereum and the broader modular ecosystem: Data Availability. Recently, there's been chatter on X about DA being commoditized to zero and the only value accrual in the modular stack being in execution. Is this true? Where is the current demand for DA? Are modular DA providers competing with Ethereum? In our latest conversation with Teddy from EigenDA, we explored the nuances of scaling Ethereum and why the demand for block space could be the make-or-break factor in its evolution. EigenDA's modular approach to DA is not just about scaling—it's about making Ethereum more efficient as it transitions towards its singular role as settlement layer. While the much-anticipated 4844 upgrade has changed the landscape for data availability, there has been a lag in demand for DA providers. On the practical side, EigenDA is working closely with high-throughput rollups like MegaETH, Movement Labs, LayerN, and Celo to create the necessary demand for DA. By targeting specific use cases and partnering with these projects, EigenDA aims to drive blockspace demand, making its modular approach to DA not just innovative, but essential. These high TPS L2s should drive a ton of data posting onto EigenDA's AVS, which is the largest currently. With regards to chain abstraction -- the key focus for this series -- we discuss how there's potential for a future where gas costs are abstracted away, allowing developers to sponsor them, leading to onchain interactions as seamless as browsing the web.

In this episode, we're speaking with Rene Lubov, software engineer at Celestia, about data availability (DA), or what Rene prefers to call data publishing.Rene is one of the founding engineers at Celestia and breaks down for us everything we need to know about DA and how it's implemented at Celestia. We also talk about modularity in blockchains, light nodes, and other technical concepts that you may have heard of before but maybe don't have a clear understanding of just yet. She does a great job of explaining all of these concepts clearly.On a more personal level, Rene also shares about her background, how she taught herself to code, what protocol engineering is (hint: it's very different from app development or smart contract coding), what it was like being a founding engineer at Celestia, and her experience as a woman in crypto having joined way back in the early days.Rene was nominated for Rehash by Tina and voted onto the podcast by Tina, Jimmy Chang, Hudson Jameson, Queen Wartooth, and David Phelps. COLLECT THIS EPISODESUBSCRIBE TO REHASH PODCAST CLUB (RPC) FOLLOW REHASH:TwitterWarpcast (Farcaster)TikTokInstagramNewsletterRehash Podcast Club (RPC)Diana Chen (Host) IMPORTANT LINKS:Rene's TwitterCelestiaLazyLedger Whitepaper TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:20 What is data availability (DA)?5:15 Why is data availability getting so much attention lately?9:12 How does data availability increase scalability and reduce costs?11:30 Is DA implemented in the blockchain layer or app layer?14:08 What is Celestia?16:20 What is modularity in blockchains?19:18 Is Celestia an L1 or L2?21:49 Future of Celestia22:08 What is a light node?28:25 What is it like being a founding engineer?32:09 How is protocol engineering different from smart contract engineering?35:45 Berlin ETH culture39:26 How Rene became a coder43:36 Twitter questions51:45 Can You Not55:52 Follow Rene DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

We've been diving heads first into the technical design structure of Bitcoin L2s over the last two weeks with the goal of uncovering what is really happening behind the scenes in this space. Today's video, we did just that with Jagdeep Sindhu. Jag is a seasoned Bitcoin OG and has a strong opinion about the acceptable trust assumptions in Bitcoin scaling designs. Jag's vision is to transform Bitcoin into a 'super chain' where utility and security are both achievable without unnecessary tradeoffs. Rollux uses merge mining to borrow Bitcoin's security, while introducing chain locks every fifth block to enforce finality and prevent long-range attacks on the sidechain. They also have their own zk based DA solution which powers their chain. By combining elements of PoW and PoS for enhanced security, Rollux is trying to build secure interoperability solution. We discussed the future outlook for Rollux being a secure transfer hub for Bitcoin and other chains like Ethereum and Avalanche as well. We enjoyed the depth of the technical architecture on this conversation and Jag answered all of our questions regarding Bitcoin security and more.

Will zk eat the modular stack? Isn't zk an enhancer for the stack as a whole? Which parts of the stack will be disrupted by zk, and how? Today, we're diving into a thought-provoking interview with Hannes from Equilibrium Labs to get all the answers . Equilibrium Labs specializes in low-level protocol engineering, helping protocols become safer, faster, and more usable. The core idea of "Will ZK Eat the Modular Stack?" revolves around two major trends: modularity and the expansion of ZK technology. We also explored the trade-offs between optimistic and ZK security, as well a look into an expanded modular stack. The full stack now includes over ten components like User Operation Abstraction, Shared Sequencing, Data Querying, Long-term State Storage, and Security, going beyond the traditional modular stack's four components of Execution, Settlement, Data Availability and Consensus. We're on the cusp of early ZK adoption across various modules, with RaaS providers and rollup frameworks starting to offer more and more options. Full adoption of a ZK-ified modular stack might be closer than we think. Join us as we uncover how modularity and ZK are the perfect fit for each other!

The initial scaling roadmap for Ethereum featured execution layer sharding. However, the rapid advancements of layer 2 scaling solutions in general, and zero knowledge proofs in particular, caused a restructuring of the original plan. The reason was that rollups would have required less changes made to Ethereum's base layer, hence lower risks. On the other hand, Near Protocol was designed from the ground up as a sharded system, capable of withstanding billions of transactions simultaneously, without sacrificing decentralisation or security.Topics covered in this episode:Illia's & Alex's backgroundsSharding and blockchain scalabilityChallenges of building a sharded blockchainNear namespaceShard security & validator samplingStateless validation and data availabilityState witnesses and chunk producersBlock productionShards vs. RollupsHow Near could further improveLeaderless chunk productionChain abstractionEpisode links:Illia Polosukhin on TwitterAlex Skidanov on TwitterNear Protocol on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

What began as an AI company trying to seek solutions in order to pay remote (unbanked) workers, Near AI became, in 2018, Near Protocol. Its sharded design was inspired by modern database architecture and large language model (LLM) training. Near Protocol aimed to solve the scalability trilemma, through a modular approach, combining data availability sharding with stateless validation. By abstracting away archaic blockchain standards, Near basically enabled decentralised full stack development and, in terms of UX, a distributed custodial solution via chain abstraction and account aggregation.We were joined by Illia Poloshukhin, co-founder of Near Protocol, to discuss Near's journey, from AI company to high-throughput L1 blockchain, and how LLM training influenced the modular design choice.Topics covered in this episode:Illia's background in AI & MLScaling large language models (LLMs) and the role of attentionStochastic Parrot vs. Understanding spectrumFrom Near AI to Near Protocol and the role of LLMsHow Near abstracted the blockchain away and enabled decentralised full stack developmentDefining ecosystem standards to improve UXChain abstraction, account aggregation and interoperabilityChain threshold signatureNear's intent layerNear's modularity, Nightshade sharding & stateless validationEigenLayer integrationEpisode links:Illia Polosukhin on TwitterNear Protocol on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Kendall Cole is the founder and CEO at Proximity Labs, also known over time as the 'Defi Arm' of NEAR Ecosystem. On this wide ranging conversation with Kendall, you can actually hear the energy and the tone in the room change as time goes on. As we keep hitting him with quirky jokes, and asking genuine questions from every angle, Kendall finally starts to open up and share some top tier insights and alpha. Some of the topics discussed include: Unconventional Origins of NEAR Protocol. Unlike other web3 ecosystems, NEAR was birthed by a rare cohort of 'outsiders': big tech type, competitive programmers, and other giga brains. This has led to everything being reimagined and built from the ground up, which has presented some early challenges around implementation and communication: but could it be the secret for long term success? Origins and Evolution of Proximity: spanning across three stages we see Kendall's team solving the 'deep application layer', recruiting and enabling external teams to build on NEAR, and now putting al pieces in place to kickstart the BOS flywheel Beyond BOS as we know it. As Kendall touches on BOS, we finally get a glimpse of where this is all going. We aren't just the sidekick, a simple front-end. With the addition of remote accounts (coming soon) NEAR will be able to provide a unified user experience being a core access point to smoothly transact on any blockchain [Mind-melt alert!] NEAR Data Availability - we geek out on how L2s (optimistic rollups) work on Ethereum, the challenge of storing State, some of the emerging Data Availability solutions such as Celestia and Mantle. Then Kendall explains how NEAR has very cheap state which, inadvertently, is the best solution at the moment for all these L2s...

This is opposed to individual web3 wallets, which only require one signature. - Security - Multisigs spread the attack vector necessary for your assets to be compromised. By requiring confirmations from multiple private keys, a single point of failure is eliminated. - Collective Ownership - Multisigs allow teams to own and manage their on-chain assets together. You get to choose who is on your multisig. - Self-Custody - Your on-chain assets are always in your team's control. By securing them in a multisig, you forego the risk of centralized entities losing your funds. ___ Orca is a Concentrated Liquidity Automated Market Maker (CLAMM, for short). - Orca is the easiest place to trade crypto and build applications on Solana. - On Orca, you can trade tokens lightning fast and confidently (thanks to our Fair Price Indicator).

with @lera_banda @danboneh @rhhackettThis episode introduces concepts behind -- and applications of -- data availability sampling (DAS), a key piece of the puzzle that could help blockchains like Ethereum achieve full scaling. A low-overhead technique that uses random sampling of data to ensure that all necessary blockchain data has been made available to nodes without straining the network, DAS features heavily in a series of planned Ethereum upgrades called "Danksharding" [named to reference Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist]. The next Danksharding milestone for Ethereum is an upgrade called EIP-4844, known as "Protodanksharding" [also named to reference Ethereum researcher Protolambda, now at OP Labs] -- which is planned for later this year.Our expert guests include:Valeria Nikolaenko, a16z crypto research partnerDan Boneh, Stanford cryptography professor and a16z crypto senior research advisor...who discuss their recent piece on data availability sampling and Danksharding -- including a proposal they put forward to the improve current plans for upgrading Ethereum -- with Robert Hackett (a16z crypto features editor and head of special projects), based on a live conversation that took place recently on Twitter Spaces.links to pieces/ topics referenced in this episode:on data availability sampling and danksharding, an overview and proposal / Valeria Nikolaenko & Dan Bonehon Proto-Danksharding, a technical analysis / grizzly-answer-991EIP-4844: the specification of ProtoDankSharding / Ethereum FoundationProto-Danksharding FAQ / Vitalik ButerinDanksharding workshop video / Devcon (Oct 2022)2D data availability with Kate commitments  discussion on commitments' expansion / Ethereum Research Foruma note on data availability and erasure coding / Github---None of this is investment, business, legal, or tax advice; please see a16z.com/disclosures for more important information – including a link to a list of our investments.

When it comes to scaling blockchains, there are 2 main types of off-chain solutions: sidechains and L2s (i.e. rollups, state channels). These are all intended to scale monolithic L1 blockchains. However, the core functional layers of a blockchain could also be reinvisioned as customisable building blocks. This idea led to the creation of modular blockchains, which handle execution, consensus and data availability separately from one another, thus considerably increasing throughput.Dymension is a Cosmos modular blockchain hub that acts as settlement layer for RollApps (app-specific chains).Sebastien was joined by Barry, Head of Product at Dymension, to discuss the advantages of developing modular blockchains, their scalability and how RollApps integrate in this environment.Topics covered in this episode:Barry's backgroundThe evolution of scaling solutions & Dymension's RollAppsThe nuances of different types of rollups (L1 vs. L2, Ethereum vs. Cosmos)The scalability trilemma and modular blockchainsCosmos' ICS scalingThe architecture of Dymension and its RDKHow RollApps choose the data availability layerRollApp interoperabilityIncentivising sequencer neutralityNetwork roles in Dymension and differences between SDK & RDKUse cases & limitations of RollAppsFuture roadmapEpisode links: Barry on TwitterDymension on TwitterDymension's websiteThe Interop Podcast on TwitterCelestia on TwitterThis episode is hosted by Sebastien Couture.

In this week's episode Anna Rose (https://twitter.com/annarrose) interviews Mustafa Al-Bassam (https://twitter.com/musalbas), co-founder of Celestia (https://celestia.org/). They cover where Celestia as an idea emerged from, how its rollup-centric data availability (DA) network works and what can be expected from their upcoming launch. They also chat about how Celestia aims to empower Sovereign chains - independent rollup chains that use Celestia as the DA and consensus layer - and how this Sovereign chain model compares with the Ethereum rollup architecture.

The digital revolution has offered new ways to obtain data, without the need of putting a new survey in the field. New data sources have now become available, including job and wage data and household consumption. With the passing of the Data Availability and Transparency Act 2022 in March, we can anticipate an increased use of data to help deliver services, inform policies, and support research in the Australian government. In this episode, Dr David Gruen AO, Australian Statistician at the Australian Bureau of Statistics, explores the critical role of data in responding to the pandemic and the future collaboration in deriving public value from data. His address was followed by a conversation with Cheryl-anne Moy, Deputy Secretary of Immigration and Settlement Services at the Department of Home Affairs, and IPAA ACT Deputy President. Discussed in this episode:New data sources that have become available and how they are being used to generate new statistics.The growth in integrated data assets across various dimensions.The opportunities presented by the passage of the Data Availability and Transparency Act 2022. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

«Think of data availability as online vs. offline.»What much of the discussions around data products, data catalogs, self-service boil down to is data discoverability, observability and availability.I talked to Ivan Karlovic, Director of Data Analytics and Master Data at Norwegian about these topics and gained some fantastic insights. Ivan always loved analytics and using data to improve the business and started his dat journey with a course in data mining and with «Pure curiosity on how we can use data!»Here are my key takeaways:The Airline sectorAirline industry is reliant on partner «A Flight is just a subset of an end-2-end journey»Data privacy and ethics are important topics for Norwegian and are faced with a systematic approach with an aim for automation.Norwegian is building a cloud based analytical platform to ensure a greater visibility of the data analytics setup.The first improvement should be on data discoverability, closely connected to data observability.«A Data Catalog will raise awareness of what we have of data assets.»There is a clear goal to ensure an automated observation of all data assets in Real time.A central team needs to be able to deliver cross-domain use cases, also across domains with different data maturity.«With this crisis-domain approach we are putting away some of the legacy discussions.» We can engage with each domain.It is ok to have specific crawlers on local data, but you need to synchronize it into the central data catalog.The organization needs to have a way to stay aware of everything that is produced.Data AvailabilityExcept for sensitive data, everyone in a domain should be able to see all domain data. Outside the domain, people should be aware of what kind of data each domain maintains.«If you work with analytics or machine learning you always what to talk to the domain people, because you can easily misinterpret if you don't have that domain experience.»Domain data products that are domain spesific without a use case outside the domain, do not have to adhere to central strandards. But if they can have a use cases outside the domain, they need to be fed into the central data catalog.Communication and understanding intentions from data producers to data users is really important. You have to continuously work with understanding.There is lost out business potential in not having data discoverable, no matter the quality.Most effort is wasted in rework of data products that where just not discoverable.Self-Service«When it comes to self-service we need to set up technology in a way that the end-user does not have to think about the data, only the problem to solve»Even if only 70% of use cases can be solved by self service, we need to strive for 100% to ensure that we offload the expert data analytics team as much as possible to work on the tough cases.«Data Catalog: You can buy a monster that gives you 95% of things you don't need, or cutting edge super-niche start ups. But you have some interesting players somewhere in the midle.»«Can we do data engineering on a meta level, without seeing the underlying data? Eg. For PII?»DocumentationHow can you retain knowledge in a distributed architecture?Ensure domain knowledge is fostered in the domains. Build a documentation repositoryInfrastructure as code. Technical knowledge supplied with contextDomain knowledge is the most tricky and most difficult to replaceGreat documentation can be both motivating and time saving. Motivating to reach a higher standard and time saving for problem finding, onboarding, etc.

This mechanism is most important as it ensures that L2 validators cannot cheat and include invalid transactions in a L2 block, e.g. mint coins out of thin air or steal your coins. - The second use of L1 is as a Data Availability layer for L2 transactions so that, if there is a dispute, users could independently re-create the L2 state and ensure continued system operation or trustlessly exit to L1.- An L2 chain can periodically "commit" its state to L1 by submitting the hash of its current state root. A state root is just a number, e.g: 0x77905a71f4b32221.... We need a mechanism to ensure that this number corresponds to the actual L2 state. - One way to do so is by providing a zero-knowledge cryptographic Validity Proof (zkProof) that will be verified by the L1 smart contract. If the verification passes, users can be sure that the state root is a result of executing valid transaction set. - The other mechanism is to allow any honest L2 chain observer to raise an alarm if they think that the supplied state root is incorrect and provide a Fraud Proof. Such a proof allows the L1 contract to trustlessly verify that the state root was incorrect. In such case it will be automatically removed and the chain will roll back. ~~~~ Thank you so much for listening, if you've not subscribed to the channel please do!

In the second episode in our modular blockchain mini-series, we sat down with John Adler, the inventor of optimistic rollups and co-founder of Fuel and Celestia. Fuel is the fastest execution layer for the modular blockchain stack. The technology enables parallel transaction execution and offers flexible throughput and the highest security required to scale. FuelVM offers developers a superior experience and the ability to go beyond limitations faced by the EVM and other virtual machines.   In our conversation, we discuss: The importance of data availability for maintaining censorship resistance Fuel as a modular execution layer with configurable consensus, data availability, and settlement Why Fuel Labs is building the entire blockchain stack to offer the best possible developer and user experience How FuelVM supports parallel transaction execution and other notable improvements over EVM To learn more about some of the concepts we cover, here are a few incremental resources John mentions in the episode.

https://go.dok.community/slack https://dok.community/ ABSTRACT OF THE TALK Database Administrators (DBAs) have jobs today because someone recognized that data is critical. It's critical to businesses, who need it to make good decisions. It's critical to users, who need to know how many people liked their recent post. DBAs developed process and maybe even automation to ensure that this critical data is available and secure, while accessing it is fast. And now someone wants them to put that critical data on Kubernetes and they've got some concerns. In this session, you will learn how to DBA through the lens of exploring typical tasks of Data Availability, Security and Performance on Kubernetes. And if you're not a DBA, hopefully you will gain some empathy for your poor DBA.

Cybersecurity relates back to the basic tenets of confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. Confidentiality is inextricably linked to passwords protection, integrity requires for information to be delivered without interception or alteration and it is crucial that against all odds, business systems remain available and robust against attacks. Brad Thomas explores all these concepts, and much more in this cybersecurity podcast with Dr David Day. Listen in for more insights.

With the deadline to comment on EPA's Notice of Data Availability that would further lower biofuels volume levels this week, biofuels industry supporters have been putting pressure administration to stay true to President Trump's campaign promises to support the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).  In this edition of the Ethanol Report, Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) president and CEO Bob Dinneen comments on the unusual way EPA is handling the RFS this year, mounting pressure on EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, and better ways to reduce the price of RINs.
