Moving rollups forward is getting harder — block production turned into a capital game, and bridging still comes with cost + latency.
That’s why we’re partnering with @init4tech 🤝
Radius is officially joining @signetsh Protocol as a core builder and solver, helping bring a fairer, more efficient standard to rollup infrastructure.
📍Our focus:
- Fair block production : supporting Signet’s round-robin system so block production isn’t something you can buy.
- Atomic execution: everything succeeds together across Ethereum + Signet — or doesn’t execute at all.
- Solver-driven interoperability : supplying solver liquidity to move value without waiting on heavy proof workflows.
More fairness. Less friction. No Proofs, Just Markets. ⚡️

still looking to hire an infra engineer to come work with me on @signetsh. Job posting link is here notion.so/init4tech/Senior-D…

Great technical document by the @init4tech team on tracing: what it is, how to do it, why to do it, and how it differs from traditional logging.

hello we built a rollup
Signet does what a rollup should
And nothing else
@signetsh testnet is live and features built-in instant cross-chain trades, using conditional transactions

Jazzed to join @init4tech to lead Growth and build a pragmatic approach to Ethereum scaling! init4 aims to radically modernize rollups with sustainable economics and elegantly-simple design.
We're a research-centric team contributing to next generation Ethereum. 🎀💻 DMs open.
At Init4, we're improving the ergonomics for developers who rely on critical Ethereum components.
In that spirit, we're announcing ajj - a modern JSON-RPC router designed for exceptional developer experience: github.com/init4tech/ajj

Great talk by @_prestwich where he explains that a user of Aave or Compound on centralized sequencer chains like Base, Optimism, or Arbitrum can be prevented from withdrawing funds FOREVER.
Turns out, having home validators with the ability to build blocks ACTUALLY MATTERS.

based rollups are cool and all but we're cool with hand waving the fact that in the last 30 days ~95% of all ethereum blocks were built by 2 entities?

Hard And Soft Power In Ethereum With James Prestwich
Welcome back to the Gwart Show! Today we are joined by James Prestwich, a OG Ethereum engineer and leader of @init4tech, an Ethereum research group. On the show, we dive back into Ethereum’s plight, beginning with the fundamentals. We start with a review of Ethereum’s origins, James’ mental model for ETH, why PBS is broken (and was from the start), if Rollups work and how we skipped sharding, @VitalikButerin and more Vitalik, and what Solana really means for Ethereum.

learn more about execution extensions (exexs) and their utility for dapp developers on this episode of the infinite jungle podcast feat. @init4tech's @_prestwich!

Oh hey, someone told us having Reth's ExEx support in Geth would be useful. Figured how hard can it be :D
4 hours later, my Geth ExEx prototype landed 🙈 github.com/ethereum/go-ether…
Minimal example is 21 lines of Go code and it even auto-generates Geth CLI flags for you! #Ethereum
