AFAIK, this may be the only time the @go_ethereum team has had a public job posting! . If youโve ever wanted to contribute to core Ethereum development in a context where your only concern is what is best for the long term health of the network, this is for you ๐ซก.
The go-ethereum team is hiring a staff software engineer to help ~accelerate~ Ethereum! If you have experience working in geth and are ready to contribute to the core protocol full-time, weโd love to hear from you.

Dencun is both the most complex fork we've shipped since the Merge, and tied for "most total EIPs in a fork" with Byzantium. There were more teams than ever involved in the process, and it somehow all worked out smoothly. ! Grateful to work with all of them, onto the next one๐ซก!.

This is the #1 problem on Ethereum I'd love to see someone come up with a solution to. Many issues to work through, even beyond the privacy itself, but *if* we got it done, it could completely change what the end state of this space looks like.
@0xfoobar For Ethereum, I think if we had private ETH transfers by default, we'd be in a great spot. Contracts can all be public, and making 21k gas sends private would be good enough.

As for London timelines, this is roughly what we are going for. We didn't want to set blocks on this call given that code is still not merged in clients and we are still waiting on an EIP, but the dates should be pretty fixed, and blocks should come during the next call.
