What are the upcoming changes coming to Ethereum that will affect staking protocols like @LidoFinance? Personally, I think EIP-4788 ("beacon block root in the EVM"), slated for Dencun, and EIP-7002 ("triggerable exits"), which is in discussion, are the two to focus on. 👇 /2 These two network-level upgrades would introduce important mechanisms and functionality that can further enable staking protocols to simplify some designs, reduce technical surface risk, and further increase decentralization of staking solutions.

Today the first mainnet update of the @LidoFinance MEV Boost relay list went live, which saw the addition of Ultra Sound Relay (@ultrasoundmoney), Agnostic Relay (@GnosisDAO) and Aestus Relay (@AestusRelay) to the relays which had already been vetted for use. More info below 👇 If you want to check out the list on-chain, you can head to @etherscan (or use your local node) to query the list here etherscan.io/address/0xf95f…

@LidoFinance's proposed Staking Router is an architecture for the allocation of stake across plug and play modules that make pools of validators available for use. Its core ambition is found at the intersection of the simplicity, utility, practicality, and sustainability.
/1 One can imagine the entire staking protocol as a space hub with the responsibility of producing security in a sustainable manner for the planet that it protects. The Staking Router’s job is to allocate resources across docked modules.

One week post-Devconnect, here’s a non-exhaustive list of presentations and panels that I think anyone interested in validating and staking on Ethereum should watch. Yes, some great stuff is missing, yes you should watch all of MEV-day, yes, yes, yes, yes…
/1 OK let’s set the stage. @TimBeiko gives us an update on the Ethereum Roadmap in the morning of @CryptoCanal's #EthDay to explain how the PoW -> PoS transition will happen, and what neat stuff is coming in the hardfork after the merge
