Solana's new consensus, Alpenglow, just dropped and it's interesting!
Meet Votor—the voting engine that challenges traditional aspect of blockchain consensus.
Is it genius or dangerous?
Let's dive in 🧵 👇
1/11
Votor runs two voting modes simultaneously:
→ Fast track with 80% stake voting = 1-round finality
→ Safe track with 60% stake voting = 2-rounds finality
So, the blocks finalize in min(δ₈₀%, 2δ₆₀%)—whichever finishes first.

Recently, I came across a question:
"How does Monad's 128kb contract size compare to Ethereum's 24kb, and how does it benefit the developers?"
Let's dive into exactly how the increased limit is changing the game and what it means for you as a developer! 🧵👇
1/9
Ethereum's 24kb limit (EIP-170) on deployed contract bytecode is crucial for preventing DoS attacks and ensuring manageable block processing.
However, this constraint often forces ambitious projects into complex workarounds.

Ethereum is gearing up for the Pectra upgrade—combining "Prague" (Execution Layer) and "Electra" (Consensus Layer) improvements into one major milestone.
Here's a quick, easy-to-understand breakdown of the key EIPs going live! 🧵

Just read the fascinating research paper about MonadBFT — a breakthrough in blockchain consensus. 🎯
Let me explain it using something everyone can understand: giving a group presentation in class... 🧵

Imagine students (validators) taking turns presenting slides (blocks) in front of the class. Each presenter builds on the previous one’s content. For fairness, there are classroom rules to follow.
But what if someone skips a teammate’s slide or pretends it never existed?

FuelVM: A Proposed Solution to Ethereum's Scalability Challenge
@fuel_network has made significant strides since its V1. Initially a side chain, it has now evolved into an AltVM, poised to address the limitations of the Ethereum's EVM as the Execution Layer.

ERC-4337 isn't dead! The UX is being upgraded with new developments like EIP-7702, which makes it easier to integrate Externally Owned Account (EOAs) and enhances the overall experience for Ethereum users.
Dive into the 🧵 to learn more!
1/5
At its core, EIP-7702 seeks to elevate the UX of traditional wallets by unlocking features typically exclusive to smart contracts. It allows an Externally Owned Account (EOA) to temporarily function as a smart contract for a transaction.
