Some more up to date thoughts the next hard fork after Cancun, Pectra (Prague + Electra):
* Ship Pectra by end of Q1 2025.
* Include PeerDAS for Rollups to scale.
* Include EOF for improving the EVM on both L1 and L2.

Excited for the conversation to continue.
We haven't yet the fundamental limits of what we can do.
Ethereum should reach the efficient frontier of what’s possible before arguing about how we would choose between our values once we’ve hit those limits.
Shipping faster will help Ethereum get there.
Instead of "should we do X or Y?", the answer might be "both."
We can move faster by deciding to evolve the protocol with ambition, and not ossify.
We can do better than N-of-N (5 CL + 5 EL!) clients coming to consensus before new upgrades.
We can level up ACD.
We can allocate more resources to Devops & Testing.
We started @Ithacaxyz to accelerate the frontier, & have raised $20M from @paradigm.
We’ve been collaborating with the developer community on some of crypto's hardest problems. Small teams = big impact. The future of crypto will be built together.
Over the past four years, our team shipped some of the industry’s most used open source tools like Reth & Foundry.
We believe in sustainable open source development for the good of crypto.
We think the stack is ready, and it’s now time to accelerate.
After almost two years of development and a successful audit by Sigma Prime, we are finally releasing Reth 1.0, the first “prod-ready” release of our blazing-fast Ethereum execution client. We invite RPC providers and stakers to run Reth.
To speed up execution by getting rid of the overheads of bytecode interpretation, inspired by well-established technologies like the Java or the WASM JIT.
