Today, we celebrate @worldcoin’s remarkable progress in building secure, privacy-first identity solutions for the web3 era. Their commitment to reimagining digital identity continues to set new standards for trust and user empowerment. We’ve been proud to partner with World from the very beginning, contributing in research, security, and infrastructure as they shape the future of digital identity. It’s a privilege to support such an ambitious vision, and we look forward to what we’ll achieve together in the next chapter. Congratulations, World! Thank you for making us part of your journey.

First blocks processed using the Nethermind execution client on a full @Arbitrum local chain simulation🧪 A major step in our partnership to bring high-performance client diversity to Arbitrum. We are using a modified version of nitro-testnode to initialize a fresh local chain and process blocks using the Nethermind Client. This will be our foundation for testing newly implemented features and configurations. We are currently working on web assembly execution and adding stylus support. Up next: Syncing to Sepolia testnet.

Nethermind Client v1.32.3 is live. ⚡️ A performance-focused release packed with stability, sync, and resilience improvements: · Archive/full sync memory fixes and improvements · BlockProcessing stability patch · Enhanced P2P handling · RocksDB corruption auto-recovery 🔗 Learn more:

We're hiring across engineering, product, and business 🧠 Help us scale real blockchain systems: Infra, audits, ZK, and beyond. · Remote-first · Global team · Deep tech, real impact 🔗

🧵 Excited to share we’re working on a Systemization of Knowledge (SoK) for preconfirmations in Ethereum. A collaborative, open-source reference covering theory, designs, critiques, and real-world implementations. Supported by @taikoxyz and an @EF_ESP grant. (1/4)

Our Head of Research @mpfzajac shares Nethermind’s vision for Ethereum: Scaling to billions of users and AI agents using ZK. · Offload heavy compute offchain · Verify efficiently onchain This unlocks verifiable, high-throughput systems for the agentic era.

From based rollup templates to L1-L2 composability to AI-aided smart contract audits: At EthCC[8], we shared what we’ve been researching and building across the stack. 🔗

Last thread, we promised more on gas benchmarking. Through structured gas benchmarking, we’ve: — Surfaced opcode bottlenecks — Improved 7702 tx performance — Helped some clients cut worst-case execution by 25%+ — Unlocked 45M gas blocks Here’s how it happened 👇

The @NethermindSec Formal Verification team, with support from the @ethereumfndn through the 2024 ZK Grants Round, has developed Halva: an infrastructure for formal verification of Halo2 zk circuits in @leanprover. We used Halva to uncover a critical bug in a real-world Scroll zk circuit. 🧵 1/

1/ Over the past months, we’ve: — Benchmarked opcode execution across clients — Built PerfNet to test performance under pressure — Simulated 1.5x mainnet state with @CPerezz19 & @gballet for early scaling tests Not for headlines, but to keep Ethereum resilient.
