Client Team Updates

EL

• Nethermind:

  • Slowly progressing with Shutter for the parts they can do alone
    • Requested a Docker image from Shutter

• Merged JSON-RPC related changes that should result in much better performance

  • There might still be some issues
  • Nethermind wants to test this upgrade on the official Gnosis RPC
    • We’re going to start with one node and look at the metrics
    • Maybe it’s a bit early to upgrade all nodes
    • Sending traffic there in a shadow mode / replicate traffic to it without using the return data would be useful
    • This is currently in the master branch, not officially released
  • Working on one regression for a cancun related issue

• Working on Nethermind 2, a big state redesign that would include performance a lot that would allow for snap servers

  • Probably going to be released after Cancun

• Erigon:

  • No news in particular
  • Busy working on Caplin and Erigon 3

• Geth:

  • Can’t join today

Chain Infra

• Gateway
  • Saw an increase in traffic and had to scale the infrastructure
    • This helped to reveal minor issues that are being worked on

Hive Tests

• Working on multi client tests for receiving blob transactions at the same time

Devnet

• Still having some general Nethermind-specific issues
  • Sometimes out of sync
  • One node with a specific issue
• No issues with the Erigon nodes
