How to EIP-4788

EIP-4788 (Beacon State Root) is considered one of Ethereum’s most significant and technically challenging upgrades. Join Dmitry Chernukhin from the Lido team for an in-depth breakdown of how EIP-4788 enhances communication between Ethereum's consensus (Beacon Chain) and execution layers, its applications, and implementation nuances.

• 🔹 What EIP-4788 is, and why it's viewed as a "revolutionary" upgrade for Ethereum.
• 🔹 How Beacon State Root works and why it's essential for inclusion proofs and dApps interacting with the Beacon Chain.
• 🔹 The concept of inclusion proofs, Merkle trees, and their application with EIP-4788.
• 🔹 Real-world use cases such as staking pools and re-staking solutions leveraging EIP-4788 today.
• 🔹 Technical and economic considerations (gas costs, historical data access) making EIP-4788 implementation non-trivial.
• 🔹 About Gindex and why developers must carefully handle data structure changes post-forks.
• 🔹 How using EIP-4788 differs from relying on oracles, and when one approach is better than the other.
• 🔹 Lido's roadmap for implementing EIP-4788 within the Community Staking Module (CSM).
