• Worked with Twinstake
• Should be able to focus more on 44s
• Implemented an endpoint that should allow Nethermind to be used as a block builder

Erigon

  • Which should support live tracer
  • Should be ready for Gnosis Devnet 1
    • Missing blob fee collector change
• Snap sync works

CL

Pectra

• Gnosis Devnet 0
  • Based on devnet 3
  • Should probably move to devnet 4 (for Gnosis Devnet 1)
    • Both Nethermind and Erigon agrees, especially because 3 is not compatible with 4 at all

Research

• No updates
