Carl Beekhuizen & Trent van Epps: Ethereum Foundation – EIP-4844 & KZG Ceremony

12 Jan 2023

Description

The recent advancements of layer 2 scaling solutions, especially zero-knowledge rollups, led to a complete redesign of Ethereum’s scalability roadmap. As a result, the initial concept of sharding the execution layer was abandoned and replaced by the idea of data sharding. This proposal, named after its author, is know as Danksharding. EIP-4844 is also referred to as proto-danksharding as it sets the foundation for data sharding, through the introduction of data blobs.We were joined by Carl Beekhuizen & Trenton Van Epps from the Ethereum Foundation, to discuss about the upcoming EIP-4844 timeline and its KZG ceremony.Topics covered in this episode:Trent’s and Carl’s backgroundsDanksharding and scaling EthereumData BLOBs and data availabilityKZG ceremonyHow trusted setups evolvedKZG commitment requirementsHow trust is ensuredCombining randomnessHow storing secrets is preventedGeneral contribution detailsSpecial contributionsQuantum vulnerabilityGeneral EIP-4844 timelineEpisode links: Carl Beekhuizen on TwitterTrenton Van Epps on TwitterMorgan Peck's articleSponsors: Omni: Access all of Web3 in one easy-to-use wallet!
