Are any contracts using future block numbers (as opposed to timestamps) for time locks?

I secured 2 grants from the Ethereum Foundation to update the Yellow Paper, first to Shanghai, then to Cancun!

It will be the first time in years that the YP will be up to date with mainnet!

Announcing noble-post-quantum: minimal JS implementation of ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA.

Also known as Kyber, Dilithium & SPHINCS+. Only 2000 lines of code - great learning resource for anyone who’s messing with PQ stuff. Check out README for comparison.

Learn how to migrate your existing hardhat-deploy project to the new Hardhat Ignition deployment tool 🚀

blog.nomic.foundation/migrating-to-h…

Seeing some growing discussion from researchers and others in the community about tweaking the PoS issuance curve.

The general disregard for how hard we've worked for a decade establishing ETH being money is concerning.

I'll fight this idea with anything I have.

📡 the BuidlGuidl.eth grants program is officially live 🛰️

🛸 we support builders creating open source prototypes, tooling, and education on ethereum 🚁

🏰 all BuidlGuidl members can apply for small ETH grants at: 🪄 grants.buidlguidl.com

Submitted my #game for ETHGlobal #London

💣Bomber Woman💣, an onchain bomberman but instead of real time, player submit moves (path, bombs) and 30s later see whether their plan worked out.

+ as always:
infinite arena / permissionless / persistent

Proud to finally announce `createXcrunch` built by Hrik: github.com/HrikB/createXc…. An OpenCL-based program designed to efficiently find zero-leading, zero-containing, or pattern-matching addresses for the CreateX factory. Example: etherscan.io/tx/0x92be51eac…. Happy crunching🫡

The team at Defi Wonderland just released a plugin that seamlessly adds account abstraction support to Hardhat. Check it out! 👇

We asked multiple people and nobody knew about an existing tool, so we went ahead and built it ourselves.

Please welcome Natspec Smells! github.com/defi-wonderlan…

You can now stop wasting time checking every single natspec on your project.

Example attached, sorry Uniswap Labs 🦄 v3 ♥️

Would you like to have your deployment scripts work without even having any ETH?

We are almost there, about to make it reality.
The best thing is that you won't even need to change your scripts...

First gasless contract deployment with Hardhat : sepolia.etherscan.io/tx/0x75b7d75ea…

We're very happy to share that Hardhat is among the recipients of Optimism's RetroPGF 3!
The Nomic Foundation team is very grateful for everyone who backed us 🙏.

Lots of new stuff coming this year in Hardhat. Stay tuned :).

Calling all Solidity devs! 🔊
In 2022, developers from 100 different countries participated in the Solidity survey. Let's reach even more this year! Know someone in the grey countries?
→ Send them the 2023 survey
→ Help us spread the word! 🌐👇

If that wasn't enough, we are also working on another public good together with Hardhat , Foundry, and pimlico.eth.

We aim to replace faucets and allow devs to send txs in testnets without the need of ETH whatsoever. No code changes, easy install.

The PoC already works 🚀

Project idea:

Caniuse.com but for the Ethereum JSONRPC API. I want to see in a glance which client implements which methods.

We're thinking about tweaking eth_estimateGas in Geth a bit to be more performant and less absolutely precise (parametrised of course).

Could wallet providers drop a line as to how you're using estimageGas (specifically, what percentage you bump it with), etc?

#Ethereum

1/👋 gm to the first of its kind: CreateX – A Trustless, Universal Contract Deployer

A factory contract to make easier & safer usage of the CREATE & CREATE2 EVM opcodes as well as of CREATE3-based (i.e. w/o an initcode factor) contract creations.
