PEEPanEIP
An educational video series on Ethereum Improvement Proposals and key features of upcoming network upgrades — built for client teams, researchers, and the broader ecosystem.
Why PEEPanEIP started
Built for client teams and contributors who need signal before the next All Core Devs call — not a slide deck, but plain-language protocol context from the authors themselves.
- PurposeThe series was created to give client teams a dedicated overview of new EIPs ahead of All Core Dev (ACD) meetings so proposals aren't first heard only on the call. By engaging directly with EIP authors — including Vitalik Buterin on EIP-7706 (multidimensional gas) — PEEPanEIP ensures the broader community understands the “why” behind foundational protocol changes.
- GoalRaise visibility for "Last Call" and "Draft" work by translating it into ELI5-style explanations — making it easier to align on upgrades and build consensus across the ecosystem. From EIP-1559 and The Merge to EIP-7702 (account abstraction), PEEPanEIP has been present at every major inflection point in Ethereum's history.
- Every episode pairs a concrete EIP or ERC with guest experts — core devs, researchers, and implementers — so you can trace how ideas travel from draft to mainnet. The series is distinguished by its direct engagement with EIP authors, providing the first public discussion of many foundational protocol changes.

Every episode maps to one of four core protocol dimensions — from low-level EVM mechanics to market design.
Core EIPs
In-depth walkthroughs of Core Ethereum Improvement Proposals — the changes that affect consensus rules, block structure, and protocol behavior across all client implementations.
Interface EIPs
Exploring Interface EIPs (ERCs) that standardize how wallets, dApps, and contracts communicate — from ERC-20 and ERC-721 to the latest token and ABI standards.
EVM (Ethereum VM)
Deep-dives into EVM changes: new opcodes, gas repricing, EOF (Ethereum Object Format), and low-level execution semantics that shape how every smart contract runs.
MEV & Fee Markets
Unpacking Maximal Extractable Value, PBS (Proposer-Builder Separation), blob fee markets (EIP-4844), and how economic incentives shape block production and protocol design.
