Tilling the land of software
  • Understanding blob transactions

    EIP-4844 introduced “blob transactions” almost over a year ago, specifically aimed at significantly enhancing scalability and efficiency for layer-2 solutions like rollups. Understanding how these transactions are priced is essential for developers, users, and anyone interacting with Ethereum’s economic system. [Read More]
  • Asynchronous Trust in Ethereum

    In traditional systems, trust often requires synchronous real-time interactions, centralized authorities, or constant availability. Ethereum, however, introduced a new model: asynchronous trust. [Read More]
  • Signal, Feedback, and Protocol Design

    Feedback mechanisms are the backbone of resilient, scalable systems. In distributed systems, active monitoring and backpressure ensures the system’s overall stability. Similarly, horizontal scalability relies on dynamic monitoring to provision resources in response to demand. Dynamic auto-scaling and spot pricing are all standard these days. It wasn’t always the case;... [Read More]
