An unofficial simplified re-write of the Yellow Paper: https://github.com/chronaeon/beigepaper/

Micah Dameron writes the Ethereum Beige paper, a readable rewrite of Ethereum's yellow paper.

Ethereum actually also released a beige paper, a rewrite of their yellow paper formatted for readability.

What I am looking for is something like an updated version of the Ethereum yellow paper or - even better - a beige paper.

https://github.com/chronaeon/beigepaper/ is pretty much just as good as the yellow paper but much better written

For details on Ethereum, you could go with the beige paper or just Solidity documentation.

No, so the way bytecode works is that there are a bunch of instructions in a string that the computer reads and executes. Some of those instructions are to set memory registers, or add values in registers, or write to persistent storage, or to branch execution path to a different part of the bytecode string based on the values of registers etc. Ack I might have linked you the yellow paper before. I meant to link the beige paper, which is a little easier to read, at the end there is a list of instructions as they exist in the EVM: https://github.com/chronaeon/beigepaper . The code commited to the blockchain is executed deterministically in the EVM based on the bytecode and the parameters sent in later transactions that a user makes to run that code, as well as the data in on chain persistent storage. e.g. I commit code like this: if you send me a 1 as a parameter, I send back the number 0, else I send you the number 1.

For ethereum we have the ABI defined https://github.com/chronaeon/beigepaper/blob/master/beigepaper.pdf

EIP4844 readiness checklist: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md

Dencun upgrade with EIP4844 is likely later this year, which will bring lower cost Layer 2 transactions. Follow the readiness of EIP4844: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md Prague + E starname upgrade is probably 2024, possibly focused on EOF, then followed by a Verkle tree focused upgrade, but none of this has been decided.

There's an EIP 4844 readiness checklist.

The live date for the Shanghai upgrade is likely to be April 12, occurring at epoch number 620,9536. This was announced during the All Core Developers Execution Layer #157 call on 16 March 2023.

On December 8, 2022, the Ethereum core team held an All Core Developers (ACD) meeting. The Ethereum team agreed to target March 2023 as the release date for Shanghai’s mainnet launch. However, this is a tentative date based on the assumption that the Zhejiang, Sepolia, and Goerli testnets are successful.

Shanghai is the next major upgrade for the Ethereum network, following the Merge in September 2022. Key highlights of what to expect include:
