Infrastructure

Gateway

• Gateway
  • Deployed the update for the 502 errors

Innovation

Shutter

• Meeting to discuss libp2p slowness
• Opened access to the p2p metrics
• Ran a test for transaction inclusion, only 3.6% failed transactions

Testing

Hive

• Nothing new

Ethereum/tests

• Ran all the tests and fixed some small issues in t8n
• Started generating Prague tests
• Adding Prague logic in t8n to generate Gnosis tests
• Nethermind test runner for GC is ready

Client updates

EL

Nethermind

• Focusing on the next release
  • Everything looks healthy
  • Found a few smaller issues
  • Release planned for Monday depending on Pectra plans
    • Might include configs for testnets, depending on tomorrow’s ACD
    • Might thus be delayed
  • Mostly stability issues and focused around Pectra
  • Fixed issues related to receipts on archive nodes
  • Performance improvements
  • 44s ERA import + export

Erigon

• Focusing on the next releases as well
• Both Erigon v2 and v3 will support Pectra
• The next hardfork (Fusaka) will not be supported by Erigon v2

Geth

• Not present

Reth

• 2 issues
  • State root mismatch with Nethermind
    • Seems to work when the deposit contract is deployed before going through Cancun (in isolated tests for blob production)
    • Same issue with the transition between Shapella and Dencun
  • Reth has the wrong constants for Blobs, but they’re hardcoded so will require some upstream changes or a custom TxPool
    • Might work with the Pectra blob configs (EIP-7840)
      • Worth looking into, but requires a rebase to a more recent version of Reth

CL

Pectra

• Devnet
  • Managed to set up the deposited validator on Devnet
  • Seems to have issues with Dora explorer (cannot display the deposited validator, results in timeout)
    • Marek says that Dora is for sure ready for Pectra, might be an old version though
  • Might be worth waiting for Pectra Devnet 6 to start from scratch
    • The date will likely be decided tomorrow
  • Dmytro / Carlos will check the status of Erigon and tell Somnath offline
    • Most Erigon validators seem to be down
  • We have to deploy the contracts for consolidation requests
    • This might change tomorrow though, so let’s wait before deploying
