Client Team Updates

EL

• Nethermind:

  • No particular update
    • Preparing a new release

• Erigon:

  • Working on changes in the blob transaction pool to limit spamming
  • Working on testing their final release before Dencun
  • No other specific updates

• Geth:

  • Guillaume was able to fix the syncing issue from block 1301 and is now syncing
    • Currently at block 1.7m

Chain Infra

• Gateway
  • Working on client diversity for Chiado and mainnet
    • Will have Nimbus + Erigon and Nimbus + Nethermind pairs

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  • Their documentation is a bit out of date, so working on figuring out some things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

• Deploy same contract on mainnet than Chiado (deposit contract proxy)
  • Philippe will prepare it
