Ethereum Magicians Infinite Endgames Session @ Devcon SEA

Nov 25 update: notes and recordings from the session have been added to the ethereum/pm repo. I’ve linked them below for each session.


Once - again, Devcon will host Ethereum Magicians gatherings for the community to come together and discuss the most important topics in Ethereum’s roadmap.

This year’s theme is Infinite Endgames: an exploration of the tension between Ethereum’s organic evolution and the challenges of aligning on sustainable end states.

To wrap up the conference after a week of talks, workshops and hallway conversations, we’ll gather on November 15 from 10:00 - 16:00. The day will be broken down in four sessions:

  • 10:00-11:15: Ethereum UX (notes & recording): exploring the challenges such as cross-L2 key management, asset handling and transactions; avoiding fragmentation (liquidity, network, users); coordinating standards across L2s and wallets; and more.

  • Facilitator: @tomteman

  • 11:30-12:45: Ethereum Execution (notes & recording): discussing the evolution of Ethereum’s execution layer, L1 vs. L2, settlement vs. execution, enshrined rollups, consensus changes vs. client performance improvements, etc.

  • 13:00-14:15: Block Construction: covering PBS, MEV, role of validators vs. builders, centralization risks, and more!

  • 14:30-16:00: Ethconomics (notes & recording): debating the role of Ether in the network’s security, issuance proposals, out-of-protocol economic influences, and more!

See you there :man_mage:

Given the growing role of L2s in the ecosystem, how should ETH’s economic model evolve to ensure long-term network security?
