PBS: separate block proposer and block builder tasks in protocol beacon block <- intermidiate block <- beacon ... 2. Data Availability Sampling: Only download a small piece of data to verify 2D KZG scheme: erasure codeing gen extensions 3. Verge: new accumulator i.e. Verkle tree in place of Patricia: SNARK verkle proof, state expiry, stateless clients, easiaer state verification ## Consensus 1. SSLE Secret Single Leader Election current beacon chain proposer is predictable, need privacy 2. fork choice and confirmation improvements: determine finanlity in 1 or 2 slots 3. new EVM bytecode separate code and data=> easier onchain code analysis ? so w/o this change, code analysis is hard?
