Three month on-line course aiming to familiarize Nepalese builders with the important thing components of blockchain expertise by way of instruction and project-based studying.
Digital and in-person hackathons centered on constructing the Ethereum developer neighborhood by way of studying alternatives and hands-on assist for hackers.
Continued growth of the Lodestar JS consensus consumer, with targets together with gentle consumer R&D, improved tooling and documentation, and Merge readiness.
Continued growth of the Stereum “one click on installer” for solo stakers to put in a beacon chain consumer and dependencies in a single setup, with assist for all manufacturing purchasers on testnet and mainnet.
Continued assist for ETHStaker, a neighborhood group selling and supporting Ethereum staking by way of schooling, advocacy, technical assist, tooling, and so forth; and funding of a mainnet ETHStaker validator for use for demonstrations, consumer metrics, and extra.

Investigation of Delay for Utilized Boolean Capabilities
Analysis and optimization of the DiscV5 service discovery mechanism; present aim is the publication of a report together with efficiency analysis of the proposed mechanism and an analysis of its resistance towards assaults.
Continued growth of ssz.dev, an internet site documenting and demonstrating the SSZ serialization customary, together with a visualization playground and React-based SSZ implementation.
Improvement of proofs of cryptographically-verifiable reality claims, corresponding to possession of web2 identities or authorities issued credentials.
Contributions to analysis and growth on the zkEVM challenge, which goals to construct each a zk rollup that straight helps sensible contracts, and a proof of validity for the EVM that might confirm Ethereum’s complete historical past in a single proof.
API to handle MACI proof technology utilizing messages signed with the coordinator’s non-public key, a extra simple and scalable interface permitting customers to assemble right proofs by working instructions within the cli.
Continuation of analysis and proof-of-concept growth by a gaggle of scholars and professors from the Carnegie Mellon Faculty of Laptop Science to show that key options of the Obsidian sensible contract language can translate efficiently to Ethereum.
Work on Layer 2 and zk rollups together with a zk rollup design that eliminates transaction historical past information for contract execution and zkCloud, a service which goals to assist builders use zero-knowledge proofs to jot down sensible contracts and applications extra simply.
