If you are coming in early don’t miss 🕺🪩

yep, it is on Sepolia, BSC testnet, and AVAX testnet

Making testnet bitcoin faucets obsolete with testnetbtc.com, one asset at a time. Glad to have you on board @SolvProtocol

Best MEV Explorer: It is crazy how much effort @0xvanbeethoven and @69WillSmith have put into Brontes. This is a must try for anyone looking into MEV, building DEXes or running fillers. Have just started playing around with it, will post a detailed tweet thread of my adventures with it!

Blazing fast EVM data processing: I heard for the first time about mexc, cryo, tbl and lbl tools at the event. I have since tried our cryo and tbl they make the process of on-chain data collection and processing atleast 10x more efficient internally. As a company we always had a data first approach to things. But with these tools it has gotten a lot more fun as all the queries are super quick and responsive!

Latest on Foundry and Alloy: Found out about the feature to write your own cheat codes (things like vm.expectEmit, and vm.expectRevert that we use in tests) in Foundry it is as simple as Alloy has come a long way since ethers-rs, beautiful abstractions to build middleware with their "layers" architecture, and a big fan of sol! macro (abigen! macro replacement)

Parallel EVM as an L2: PEVM by Rise is another super cool project at Frontiers, where @hai_rise gave a great presentation on parallelizing EVM at the L2 level to contribute to the 1 Gigagas/s. Had a great conversation afterwards about the pains of trying to parallelize a VM not designed for that.

State of Reth ExEx: This was one of the coolest things at the event. The idea that you can run any number of fully validated rollups at a very low overhead on top of an Ethereum node as a simple plugin is super exciting. (Side note: I fully believe that all EigenLayer AVSs should be built as Reth ExExes. It will eventually be as simple as doing reth pull for an AVS operator to add a new AVS.) I really enjoyed the talk by @ashekhirin, and had a great conversation with him afterwards about the efficiencies it can create for running fully validated rollups and other infrastructure using Reth.

Alphanet: A glimpse into the future of Ethereum, with Prague EIPs (EOF, BLS12-381, 7702 Account Abstraction, and Secp256r1 - Passkey support) + RIP 7212. I was able to do a transaction using an EOA controlled with a p256 key using 7702, and EOF contract. (This allows devs to build extremely cool experiences around allowing users to control their existing privatekey based addresses with passkeys 🤯) Props to the great work by @KAndrewHuang and @gakonst to make it happen as part of this event, and special thanks to @onbjerg for the debugging help!
