CL​

Pectra​

  • Devnet

    • [SOLVED] consolidation doesn't work (high priority)

    • [SOLVED] blob fee collector works

    • [SOLVED] EL exists - no access to GNO (high priority)

    • [SOLVED] Erigon issue with execution requests (high priority)

    • [SOLVED] Erigon runs Gnosis Pectra tests

    • [Deployed for Gnosis Mainnet, not sure about Chiado] deploy 7002/7251/6110 contracts

    • [SOLVED] devnet-5 issue

      • Most likely a mismatch in the versions (Erigon was using Devnet 6 configs, Nethermind Devnet 5)
      • Anders from Nethermind is still looking into it
      • Not reproducible on Devnet 6, but was reproduced on Devnet 5

    • [DISCUSSED with @filoozom] review deposit contract (high priority)

    • Fork on Erigon with Lodestar

      • Niko from Lodestar is looking into it
      • Didn't manage to reproduce it with either Lodestar or Erigon
      • Might not be Gnosis-specific

    • [Low priority] Dora issues

    • [Low priority, can be ignored if consolidation works] The tooling for deposits doesn't work for Ethereum-Devnet, but on Gnosis-Devnet we managed to do deposits

    • Deploy contracts

      • Done on mainnet
      • Need a node with unsafe EIP-155 support
        • Does anyone have one?

    • Run Pectra tests on Erigon

      • Done

    • Chiado schedule

      • Slot 15171584 - Thu 06/03/2025, 09:43:40 UTC

    • We should push for consolidations after mainnet to make the network more efficient
