Notes from [Jamie Pitts](https://twitter.com/jemenger)
#### Eth1 Highlights
- Fee market change [EIP1559](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1559) 
- Stateless clients and state rent discussed. It seems as if stateless is now getting the focus as state rent is possibly stalled.
- The conversation continues with posts like this one published on [ethresear.ch](https://ethresear.ch/t/the-stateless-client-concept/172/16) 

All agree that the discourse about ProgPOW has been too personal and conspiracy-driven. We can do better.

#### Eth1-Eth2 transition Highlights
Some key questions came up:
- Will 2 cryptocurrencies degrade the usability of the platform?
- Will composability will be threatened by the shards?
- What will the transition be like for dapp developers and users? 

These were answered in session, and later in some great articles by Vitalik Buterin on Ethereum Research Discourse forum: 
[“The eth1 -> eth2 transition”](https://ethresear.ch/t/the-eth1-eth2-transition/6265)
[“Two way bridges between Eth1 and Eth2”](https://ethresear.ch/t/two-way-bridges-between-eth1-and-eth2/6286 )
["Cross-shard DeFi composability"](https://ethresear.ch/t/cross-shard-defi-composability/6268)

#### Eth2
- MP introduced the Eth2 implementers
- Eth2 clients shared intro and progress on their clients
