    It's called driving continued technology advancements through input endorsers, and it's done by Benjamin Beckmann, who's chief architecture at input output. They talk about all the cool things that have been done for simulations and a lot of the concepts that exist behind input endorsers because a lot of people ask about this.

    So Mithril's on mainnet, there is a whole research team working on a much more efficient Mithril 2.0. Mithril is already amazing and we can really get a lot more. Mithril is actually going to be an essential component on input endorsers, and I'll explain that in a little bit and there's a lot of cool things that were pushing into on the more complicated snark systems the recursion and roll-up side of the world and it'll be real cool in November to kind of showcase all of that.

    The optimizations continue so really what Basho is to one part do this agenda and then the other part do something big. Actually, let's even write it even bigger, big. Okay, there we go. Like Tom Hanks, I wish I was big guys remember that movie that's an oldie but a goodie. Seem to have lost my, there we go. I hate the Wacom does that, send me some suggestions on how to lock that down. All right, big and that's input endorsers.

    So, if you watch the video here the driving continued technology advancement three input endorsers kind of explains a bit about how one would go from a single view environment to a multi-view, you could call it Shard view State.

    The design for Praos should work its way throughout the summer, and then the very next thing is Leios. And then with Leios, alongside lots of modeling, should have a direct line on the site of a very good design for the system. Then once that design is in place, the community through CIP1694 can decide if they like the trade-off profile, and then input endorsers can be implemented through a series of upgrades and iterations.

    One of the things that I care a lot about is when we look at input endorsers. I'd like all this stuff that's happening outside that eventually works its way into the system. I'd like all that stuff to be something that a Raspberry Pi or a cell phone potentially could participate in.

    So that does add a lot more complexity into the protocol. However, it means that we leave fewer people behind, it means that more people can contribute, get a more resilient system. So input endorsers are a huge long-term win, and there's a lot of very, very good ideas.

    Our critics will watch this video here, absolutely nothing I've said, and say Charles just that input endorsers is years away. And that's just unfortunate. Just what we're at and that's just how things work.

    And when governance comes in, then you can start talking about the stuff that really does require judgment, wisdom, and then input endorsers is part of that conversation. What we can do with good science and why we invested so much in science is try to reduce the scope of things that are controversial through just innovation.

    You get better data availability primitives. You got Mithril coming. And it's all evolving in parallel as you look. And yes, input endorsers are underway. People say. Oh, did we abandon input endorsers? Ohh endorsers are bad. No, they're not or.

    The very next thing after that is input endorsers. Is it necessary when you got Hydra and Mithril and you got rollups on the way, and you got sidechains. It will be and it will be in a horizon about three years to five years. That's when it's necessary.

    When will it come? It's your decision as a community. Why? Because after 1694 comes, you decide. Your dReps decide. There's a roadmap and you say you know; we could really aggressively push and escalate scalability like input endorsers.

    What’s time frame on input endorsers. Well, once all the final papers come in, it's up to the community on how quickly they want to move. The priority is CIP1694 and the GCD backlog, which is coming along at lightning speed. And there's a lot of different directions one can go in.

  • 2023-05-25 "Cardano Update"

    So there's a lot of discussion right now about where to take Mithril beyond just wallets, and in particular, we're very interested in using Mithril with. Input endorsers and that whole work stream, and how one can kind of put parallel validation together with it.
