EIP-2537: The Long Journey from 2020 to 2025 EIP-2537 is the EVM precompiled instruction determined to be added in the latest Pectra fork upgrade of Ethereum. This instruction adds various computational functions of the BLS12-381 curve to the EVM, such as pairing calculations on the curve domain. EIP-2537 was initially proposed in 2020 and was not confirmed for inclusion in the Ethereum upgrade until 2025. This article will introduce the governance process of EIP-2537 and explore why this proposal took 5 years to be finally adopted. Proposal Background In January 2017, Vitalik Buterin introduced the pairing algorithm and the alt_bn128 curve for the first time in an article. Subsequently, in February, Vitalik and Christian Reitwiessner proposed EIP-196 and EIP-197.

Global financial markets are experiencing significant fluctuations due to geopolitical tensions, with Bitcoin and Ethereum facing critical support level tests. Bitcoin is fluctuating within the $100,000 range, with an important support level at $95,000; Ethereum is encountering resistance at $2,378 and may dip to $2,036. The market needs to follow changes in the political situation and monetary policy.

Monad: A new generation EVM-compatible PoS Layer 1 public chain Monad is a new type of proof-of-stake ( PoS ) blockchain platform that is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine ( EVM ), designed to significantly enhance the overall performance of the Ethereum ecosystem. As a decentralized computing platform, Monad achieves a processing capability of 10,000 smart contract transactions ( tps ) per second through innovative virtual machine design and Byzantine Fault Tolerance ( BFT ) consensus mechanism, far exceeding existing smart contract blockchains. Technological Innovation The Monad client is built from scratch using C++ and Rust, focusing on performance optimization. To overcome the current performance bottleneck of Ethereum, Monad has innovated in four key areas: 1. MonadBFT:
