The EVM has long been a target for improvement, but major changes have been postponed due to other priorities. As Ethereum's core, EVM modifications could significantly affect network stability, security, and performance, or add complexity. This necessitates lengthy approval and implementation processes. Panelists will explore new initiatives to implement EVM upgrades such as the EOF on L2s before L1, discussing their pros and cons.

If you ask Ethereans to describe "What is Ethereum?" in 1 sentence, what would it be? Likely, you will get many different answers depending on who you're speaking to. Some visions have changed over time and some stayed true to the cypherpunk values such as decentralization, trustlessness & censorship-resistance. Or is it more important for us to focus on DA & scalability at L1? What should L1 actually be responsible for? Is local block building dead? Are timing games bad? What do we value today?

Phil Ngo is the Technical Project Manager of ChainSafe’s Ethereum consensus client, Lodestar, written in TypeScript. He joined ChainSafe in July 2021, contributing to web3JS and Lodestar as a way to contribute back to the ETH ecosystem after deploying a genesis validator on the beacon chain . His web3 journey began in 2013 after he was sent Bitcoin & mined as a demo. Throughout the years, he realized the immense value of permissionless, transparent & decentralized ledgers to human coordination.
