The cryptography part was presented at [the previous workshop](https://hackmd.io/@hww/workshop_feb_2021) so this workshop will focus on the scaling solution part. * Workshop lead: * **Dankrad Feist** * 🆕🆕🆕 **[Slides](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-pe9TMF1ld185GL-5HSWMAsaZLbEqgfU1sYsHGdD0Vw)** * 🆕🆕🆕 **[Ethereum Magicians thread](https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/sharding-design-with-tight-beacon-and-shard-block-integration-danksharding/8291)** * Reading materials * [New sharding design with tight beacon and shard block integration](https://notes.ethereum.org/@dankrad/new_sharding) * [[video] An introduction to Kate polynomial commitments](https://hackmd.io/@hww/workshop_feb_2021#2110-2240-Part-1-The-Sharding-Design-and-the-Cryptographic-Primitives) * [KZG polynomial commitments](https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2020/06/16/kate-polynomial-commitments.html) * [WIP implementation of Danksharding PR](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2792) ### 15:25-15:45 (20min) Sharding-format blob-carrying transactions * Intro * The pre-EIP that contains data inaccessible to EVM execution, in the same format as what we will ultimately use for sharding. [This EIP is aiming at Shanghai HF if it is realistic.](https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/459#issuecomment-1029529089) * Workshop lead: * **Vitalik Buterin** * 🆕🆕🆕 **[Ethereum Magicians thread](https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/sharding-format-blob-carrying-transactions/8289)** * Reading materials * [Sharding-format blob-carrying transactions](https://notes.ethereum.org/@vbuterin/blob_transactions) ### 15:45-?
