Join Us: EF Protocol Reddit AMA - September 16th, 2026

Every year since January 2019, teams from the Ethereum Foundation have spent an afternoon or two on r/ethereum answering questions from the community. The format hasn’t really changed: one thread, technical debates, detailed explanations, and community members asking whatever is on their mind. By now it is a tradition, and one of the more direct ways for the broader Ethereum community to hear from the people working on Ethereum's core development.

The next session takes place on September 16th, with researchers and devs from the Protocol cluster answering your questions.

The Glamsterdam hard fork is in public testing, the scope of Hegotá is being narrowed down, and the shape of the work beyond both upgrades is still being settled, so there is plenty to ask about.

Questions might cover post-quantum Ethereum, L1-zkEVM, formal verification, the future of state, decoupled consensus, L1 privacy, specification work, client development and devnets, though anything else concerning the protocol is equally in scope.
