Francesco is joining Ethlabs. It’s rare to find someone whose work spans so many of Ethereum’s most important challenges. Over the last five years, Francesco has had shaped the Ethereum network across multiple angles: • MEV research: Francesco helped make Ethereum’s markets work more efficiently and more fairly. • Consensus and fast finality: Francesco is bringing us closer to a world where Ethereum feels fast. • PeerDAS: Francesco helped give Layer 2s more room to bring millions more people onchain. • ePBS: Francesco has scaled Ethereum without giving up the decentralization that makes the network valuable in the first place. • FOCIL: Francesco has worked to strengthen Ethereum’s censorship resistance to ensure that the network built for the world remains open to everyone. Researchers usually pick a mountain. Francesco somehow decided to hike the whole range. Ethereum is becoming infrastructure for the global economy and it needs people solving its hardest problems.
 Francesco has already spent years doing exactly that.
