Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! If you're keeping an eye on the Ethereum ecosystem, you’re in for a treat with the latest edition of Ethereum Observer #29, brought to you by Joseph Schweitzer (jbs.eth). Posted on July 23, 2025, this weekly roundup is a goldmine of information, covering 28 posts and threads that highlight the latest developments in Ethereum and the broader blockchain world. Let’s break it down and explore what’s hot in the Ethereum space right now!
What’s Inside Ethereum Observer #29?
This edition kicks off with a stunning visual—a crystalline structure rising from an open book surrounded by greenery, symbolizing the growth and knowledge within the Ethereum ecosystem. The thread, shared by @JBSchweitzer, is a curated list of updates split into two main categories: Ethereum Core Development (ACD) & L1, and the broader Ecosystem. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the highlights:
Core Development Buzz: The roundup includes details on the latest All Core Devs Call #161 (ACDC) and exciting news about Glamsterdam, a significant upcoming event. There’s also talk about the gas limit hitting 45M, as noted by @terencechain, and a crucial MEV-Boost Call #14 discussing Fusaka and ePBS (more on that later!). Open questions for Glamsterdam from @christine_dkim and updates from @ladislaus0x on EF Protocol research round out the technical deep dive.
Ecosystem Highlights: From the Ethereum 10-YR Torch moving (thanks to @ethereumJoseph) to @farcaster_xyz debuting collectibles, the ecosystem is buzzing. Other notable mentions include @Optimism’s retro funding, @ensdomains adding PayPal and Venmo support, and an update on the Roman Storm trial from @theragetech. Plus, @NathanSexer’s 2025 Ethereum Events list gives us a roadmap for the year ahead.
Diving Deeper into Key Topics
One of the standout mentions is the MEV-Boost Call #14, which focuses on changes in Fusaka and the impact of ePBS (execution Payload Broadcast Separation) on the MEV (Miner Extractable Value) ecosystem. For those new to the term, MEV refers to the profit a miner can make by reordering or including transactions in a block. ePBS is a proposed upgrade aimed at making this process fairer and more transparent—pretty cool, right? This call is a must-watch for anyone interested in how Ethereum’s infrastructure is evolving.
Another gem is the EF Protocol research update from @ladislaus0x, covering topics like delayed execution, the road to gigagas L1, and statelessness progress. These are technical advancements that could shape Ethereum’s future scalability and efficiency—definitely worth a read if you’re into the nitty-gritty of blockchain tech.
Why This Matters to You
Whether you’re a blockchain practitioner, a meme token enthusiast, or just curious about Ethereum’s journey, this roundup offers something for everyone. At Meme Insider, we love connecting the dots between meme tokens and broader blockchain trends, and Ethereum’s ecosystem plays a huge role in that. The introduction of collectibles by @farcaster_xyz, for instance, could inspire new meme token projects, blending creativity with blockchain utility.
Plus, with events like Glamsterdam on the horizon and the 2025 Ethereum Events list (shared by @NathanSexer), you’ve got plenty of opportunities to network and learn. The Roman Storm trial update from @theragetech also reminds us of the legal challenges facing the crypto space—something to keep on your radar.
