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.
2/ Ethereum isn’t one single machine. It’s a live network of clients, protocols, and assumptions. Keeping it in sync at scale requires continuous testing. Our work focuses on edge cases, performance limits, and subtle failure modes.
5/ What we’re testing: — Execution client performance across opcodes & precompiles — Readiness to handle gas-heavy blocks (up to 150M at this stage) — Throughput stability under sustained load We share the insights as they emerge.
6/ This week, we’ll go deeper into: — Our public gas benchmarking suite — The PerfNet environment — Improvements these tools helped enable
7/ We’re not the only ones doing this, many teams test and contribute every day. But we’re proud to add to that collective effort, through open tooling, data sharing, and a focus on performance-first thinking.
8/ More on gas benchmarking and PerfNet coming soon. Thanks for following along.
