Mainnet
- We’re ready for the hard fork with a window of 1-2 months for releases and time for users to update
- Nethermind and Erigon are committing to it
Chiado
- Issues during the hard fork
- Erigon: the new pending transaction filter might leak memory (issue #9356), especially for blobs
- Gnosis nodes were not up to date
- One Gateway Erigon node was not up to date for 500 keys, but was fixed immediately
- We should prepare diversity better for the next hard fork
- EL: We kind of got there, but still more Nethermind nodes than Erigon
- CL: No validators on Nimbus
- Needs to be tested before mainnet
Devnet
- We should spin up a devnet for Aura Contract work
Hive Tests
- No updates
Innovation
- Shutter
- Received some traffic from the Shutter test system
- Their documentation is a bit out of date, so working on figuring out some things
- In general there’s some progress
Shadow Fork

- Philippe will prepare it
