Discussion continues regarding a proposal to replace the EVM with RISC-V, with some participants arguing against the necessity of ZK proofs for blockchain validation, suggesting that traditional node-based validation remains sufficient.

New proposal for 'Filler Vaults' aims to democratize cross-chain liquidity by decoupling skill from capital requirements. System would allow fillers to compete based on strategy while accessing shared liquidity pools, similar to Hyperliquid's approach.

Technical discussion regarding the implementation challenges of the proposed GAS2ETH opcode, particularly concerning its interaction with EIP-1559 fee mechanism and gas burning mechanics.

Discussion of EIP-7702's callContext7702() function for runtime introspection, aimed at enabling safer wallet programmability and operation-specific behaviors in protocols.

Detailed discussion on EVM64 implementation approaches, focusing on the benefits of multi-byte opcodes over activation/deactivation markers. The discussion emphasizes considerations for static analysis, JIT optimization, and gradual optimization in contract development.

Discussion about implementing the Create Delegate opcode in the current EVM due to potential delays in EOF (EOF Formatted Functions) implementation.

Discussion reveals that EIP-7825's proposed transaction gas limit of 30M would effectively cap maximum contract deployment size at approximately 145k bytes.

The Ethereum Foundation has announced its Q1 2025 allocation plan, with a focus on three main areas: community education, consensus layer development, and cryptography advancements. This strategic allocation aims to strengthen the Ethereum ecosystem through targeted funding and development initiatives.
