EL

Nethermind:

• Working on internal dencun specific things for Gnosis
• Right now 4844 variables are hardcoded in Nethermind and they’re working on making this configurable
• A new release candidate is underway, majorly integrating cancun features along with some fixes.

Erigon: No one present

Geth:

• Not much progress since last week, mostly investigating
• 2 branches
  • One that extracts the data from the Nethermind DB and creates the DB to use by the next branch
    • Figured out why it was running out of memory: memory leak in the transaction pool, but didn’t spend too much debugging because of the new branch
  • One that is more modern and supports withdrawals, but doesn’t currently sync.
    • Has issues connecting to other nodes in the network.

Chain Infra

Gateway No one present

Hive Tests

• Fixed the withdrawal issues after merge.
• Working on the dencun tests.

Devnet

• The devnet nodes have been stable and the network is finalizing
• Lighthouse requires the preset to be built in?
• The blob transaction spammer has some issues, it would be better to try to internal Nethermind tool
• Running with the min gas per blob preset since Friday
• Two more parameters need to be updated, and we need to spin up a new devnet with Erigon from the get go
