EL​

  • Nethermind: Issue when fetching events (eth_getLogs) on a contract that hasn’t emitted said event yet {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":[]}{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32016,"message":"Request was canceled due to enabled timeout."},"id":null} There’s a setting on Json RPC to disable streaming Erigon will check the code as well No specific updates Working on a shadow fork with Carlos Not sure if it’s going to be ready before mainnet hard fork Withdrawing works just fine on Chiado Rechecking everything Fixed the “too many concurrent requests” issue

  • Erigon: There was an issue for block syncs for older blocks which was fixed in 2.48.1 Syncing from genesis works again Was probably introduced in 2.46 or 2.47 Working with Marcos for Hive tests

  • Geth: Nothing significant Talked to Philippe and Martin Calling the reward contract seems to work and return the correct result The root is still wrong Guillaume has several hypotheses The state might not be saved to the database after a system transaction Andrew from Erigon is getting Guillaume some traces for system transactions Gateway provided Guillaume with an Erigon archive node

Shapella

All one-click staking solutions are ready Dappnode Avado Stereum Sedge Deposit contract proxy upgraded on Monday Transaction: https://gnosisscan.io/tx/0x38ba82a7fe6aa86d2275207582b3b35a72185ff60fe52ceca5b9f46394c87579 Implementation: https://gnosisscan.io/address/0x4feF25519256e24A1FC536F7677152dA742Fe3Ef#code Tests Old deposit: https://gnosisscan.io/tx/0x049476d9e4b42cbd933eb9188a2cd85692cd90950a64124e0dc06e8b03cc1c0e New deposit: https://gnosisscan.io/tx/0x6966ff5a5fb85d0e2cd252d2e673722f24a498a84450223b1989b220fb44dc48 40% cheaper Gnosis deposit UI updated shortly afterwards on Monday (and was tested) But we coordinated badly around this and Gnosis Builders and Gateway weren’t ready / kept in the loop Totally our fault We broke a few projects Dappnode deposit Gateway launchpad Ankr liquid staking Stakewise Gnosis Builders deposit UI Party Streamed online Who wants to join?

Block Building

Can we use Nethermind? There seems to be some functionality, but not updated for Shapella? Can definitely make it work Can we use Erigon? Will check

Research

Gnosis as a L2 thought experiment https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zZJswccklwEE3q_HZAQ7kDlKHHa2zzg4Fcw5Rbgf0n4/edit Polygon and Celo started talks about this

Chain Infra

  • Gateway Was the deposit UI updated? Apparently yes, tests pending The issue with Nethermind was fixed Decided to sync some Erigon nodes for non-archival mainnet to have some diversity

  • Potential issues for the next hard fork Short block times could be an issue because of bigger blocks and thus higher latency to get a block across the network Dapplion is questioning whether we actually even need blobs Philippe thinks we should have them to be compatible with mainnet, even if we have to have less than mainnet Martin also expected there to be demand The zkEVM L2 for Gnosis Pay would be an example There’s also some other partnerships with Spark / Fuel building on this This might actually become a huge selling point for Gnosis as we (and Lukso now) are the only other chains with a beacon chain and thus 4844 compatibility Changing the intervals for block building, attestation and aggregation would require consensus from all client devs
