one of the most important protocols on ethereum and DeFi in general is going to radically change, and most don't even know.

that's right, it's a very basic overview of the @MakerDAO endgame plan. a massive, comprehensive plan.

1/15 why is this only a very basic overview? well, the FIRST POST of rune's complete overview is 12 THOUSAND WORDS LONG and it's unreasonable to ask the average defi degen to read all that

as your intern, to make this post i had to read a lot. you can see all the sources i used at the end of the thread

the pectra megafork is coming and you're fading ethereum?

a shallow dive into every upgrade included in pectra, and what it means for ethereum 📚

TL;DR: simpler and faster

1/12 EVM Object Format: a whole set of sweeping changes to the EVM. it will:
- allow optimizers to find better optimizations (reducing gas costs for users)
- remove "stack too deep" errors (devs hate these errors so much it's so damn annoying)
- allow easier JIT compilation, speeding up the EVM more
- overall increased developer experience
