EL​

Nethermind​

  • Released RC
    • Narrowed down 2 small PRs that still need to be merged
  • Full version today or tomorrow for the Ethereum deadline
    • Still investigating the issue for Gnosis Devnet 5 before cutting a new release

Erigon​

  • Will have a release ready by tomorrow
  • Carlos reported an issue about a request having an incorrect prefix
    • Already fixed and merged, to be tested and confirmed by Carlos before release
  • Call later today to decide whether the release will be tomorrow or later

Geth​

  • Released 1.15.0, not the final release for devnets, should still be able to join
    • Current release might not be able to create blocks with blobs
  • Gnosis Chain Geth
    • Currently rebasing on 1.15.0
    • Blob base fee collector still to be done

Reth​

  • Bugs with 2 blobs
    • Was using the blob parameters in some locations but not others (and defaulting to Ethereum’s values)
    • Has now been made consistent everywhere, so it now syncs Cancun correctly
  • Synced to ~80 days ago
  • Wants to join the Pectra devnet
    • Will need the genesis etc to join
  • What are execution speeds for other clients?
    • Reth currently syncs at 40-70 mgas/s
    • Geth is around 6 mgas/s

CL​

Pectra​

  • Devnet
    • Consolidations don’t work
      • Linked to churn limit
      • Will spin up a new devnet today
    • Can’t access the GNO after EL exits
      • What happened here?
      • Trying to reproduce, not 100% sure that it’s an issue
      • The exit worked, but the GNO might not be accessible
        • Let’s keep the current devnet 6 as the exit is already done to confirm this
    • Erigon issue with execution requests
      • There is already a new Erigon version that should fix this
        • The last version failed because the CLs didn’t accept the payload
        • Linked to the incorrect prefixes
    • Review deposit contract
      • For EL exits?
      • For batchDeposit
    • Spam with blobs
      • Already running
    • Gnosis Pectra tests on Erigon
      • Pectra tests are ran against Nethermind and work, would be good for Erigon to run those as well
        • Waiting for Yerke to be back from holidays
    • Deploy 7002/7251/6110 contracts
      • Will be done by Philippe today
      • 7002 (0x00000961Ef480Eb55e80D19ad83579A64c007002)
      • 7251 (0x0000BBdDc7CE488642fb579F8B00f3a590007251)
      • 2935 (0x0000F90827F1C53a10cb7A02335B175320002935)
    • Devnet 5 issue
      • Should be close to figuring out what’s happening
      • Pretty much narrowed it down to one PR, building a new image now for testing
      • Might be related to running the wrong spec on Devnet 5
    • Dora issues (low priority)
      • Not a blocker, but might be helpful to fix
    • Tooling issues on Gnosis vs Ethereum (low priority)
