Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[AMA] We are EF Research (Pt. 9: 11 January, 2023)
I would definitely love for there to be more work on ZK programming languages. Exposing the internals more to help people do this was one of my motivations for attempting the task of making my own PLONK implementation. We need more tools to help people write circuits, and verify circuits; we should get to the point where verifying a verification key can be done eg. on etherscan as easily as verifying solidity code can be today.

Ethereum Energy Consumption
> they have zero power to do anything related to consensus.
Suggest reading what Vitalik has to say if you're going to offer this kind of objection:
https://github.com/ethereum/research/blob/master/papers/disc...
Infura collects upwards of 80 percent of the fees that flow into Ethereum and is in a position to control exactly who participates profitably. If your solution is "minority will fork" the obvious question is surely "with what scalable infrastructure?"

Cardano Network Developers Increase Block Size by 10%
The main difference between all recent Ethereum sharding proposals since ~2020 (both Danksharding and pre-Danksharding) and most non-Ethereum sharding proposals is Ethereum’s rollup-centric roadmap (see also: [1] [2] [3]): instead of providing more space for transactions, Ethereum sharding provides more space for blobs of data, which the Ethereum protocol itself does not attempt to interpret. Verifying a blob simply requires checking that the blob is available - that it can be downloaded from the network. The data space in these blobs is expected to be used by layer-2 rollup protocols that support high-throughput transactions.

Metakovan, the mystery Beeple art buyer, and his NFT/DeFi scheme
Quite surprised at this comment. The reason I got into blockchain was _because_ of the incredibly difficult technical challenges it poses. Among the few I get to work on:
- How to implement robust p2p networking algorithms for sharding in a distributed system such as Ethereum (a very deep rabbit hole), as Ethereum is migrating to a "sharded" architecture
- How to solve the "data availability problem" https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/A-note-on-data-ava.... The current solution uses advanced cryptography known as KZG commitments https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2020/06/16/kate-polynomial-...
- How to solve the problem of "transaction frontrunning", in which miners have an asymmetric advantage in ordering transactions they put in blocks for their benefit, which can adversely affect users creating those transactions. This is a problem known as MEV (Miner Extractable Value) https://research.paradigm.xyz/MEV and there is some incredibly sophisticated work going into this problem. It is a deep engineering problem as well
I could go on and probably give you 20 other incredibly technical, challenging problems that are on the bleeding-edge of this technology. If you're interested, would be happy to chat more!

Daily Goerli: I've been testing this PR for besu for the past several days, and the stability of nimbus-besu has improved substantially. Looking forward to it getting merged into main.

Yes, it's gotten better. I don't recommend pairing with nimbus until this issue gets fixed or prysm until something is done to reduce the amount of time it takes to recover from being offline for a day or more.

Daily Goerli: On Friday, I reported a RocksDB issue that was causing besu to error and exit immediately. The bad commit has been identified and a fix has been issued. lodestar-nethermind somehow ended up on an invalid fork which isn't resolved by restarting either client. Waiting to see how each client team responds and if they need more info, but might need to do a resync.
