Nov 20, 2024

Infrastructure

Gateway

• Worked on a public RPC for the consensus layer
• Previous version of container deployed by mistake
• Resulted in max 100 batch requests instead of 500
  • Should not happen again

Innovation

Shutter

• Most of the team was at DevCon
• Working on stability improvements between validators and keepers
• Looking into discoverability algorithms

Testing

Hive

• Adapted consensus spec tests to Gnosis

Ethereum/tests

• Discovered the issue on t8ntool but isn’t fixed yet
• Dan and Spencer from the EF joined
  • Want to use EELS/EEST for Gnosis
  • https://notes.ethereum.org/@danceratopz/eest-gnosis
  • This would replace ethereum/tests
  • We would only focus on post-merge tests, as AuRa is too different

Client updates

EL

Nethermind

• Working on the next release (delayed because of DevCon)
  • Found critical issues
• Discussing internally about how to do Shutter testing

Erigon

• No particular updates
• Shutter implementation is going to take 1-2 months

Geth

• Finished sync up to merge
• 7m blocks to go
• Working on a dump for Debjit on the merge block

Reth

• Raised some PRs, waiting for review

CL

Pectra

Research

• Feedback about Martin’s native rollups
  • Marek thinks that it’s very interesting and would be interested in joining this working group
  • Lukasz has reservations about this idea
    • Mostly social, not technical
    • Ethereum core devs have limited throughput, so decentralizing it through L2s would allow for a faster timeline
