Client Team Updates

EL​

  • Nethermind:

    • Fixing some issues on the release with better processing times
    • Dmytro joined as a QA engineer and will work on Hive testing and testing in general with Egor
    • Exploring EIP-4444

  • Erigon:

    • Nothing Special

  • Geth:

    • Not much progress
    • Still working on Chiado to get the proper genesis block
      • Geth doesn’t support the constructor config for genesis
      • The 4 first contracts in the file work, but the 5th reverts
      • Maybe we can just fetch the code for those contracts at genesis and then fetch the storage slots so we don’t need to execute the constructors
        • Could be done with Erigon (check with Somnath)
    • Questions
      • Is it possible to trace the genesis block on any of the clients?
      • What was the block building issue on mainnet?
        • Not quite clear, will try to run some validators again

  • Reth:

    • Most of the Gnosis specific logic is implemented
    • Lion now wants to run a devnet with Nethermind + Reth
    • Importing state and restarting post-merge can be tough
      • Testing always takes 45-60 minutes to import state
      • In the end, implementing AuRa in Geth took 2 weeks, which was must faster than testing state import

Chain Infra

  • Gateway
    • Preparing the migration, should happen this week

Research

  • EIP-7002 (EL withdrawals)
    • Still ongoing

Innovation

  • Shutter
    • Testing transactions from the dApp
      • Call with Marc?
        • Wasn’t able to join
    • Marc applied a fix and is trying to run this code on Chiado

Testing

  • Was https://hive-gno.nethermind.io/ fixed?
    • Yes, but only for Nethermind
      • Some test cases are failing, Marcos will look at them this week
    • There’s an issue on the config for Erigon
  • Were Hive tests fixed
    • For Nethermind
    • For Erigon
