Infrastructure

Gateway

  • After Chiado hard fork all good

Innovation

Shutter

  • Small issue in Chiado fork, updating to new libp2p version. Unrelated to Gnosis impl, should be ok by this week.
    • Testing on-going

Testing

Hive

  • Tried to run generated tests, but Hive doesn’t support Gnosis. Need to adjust to make it compatible. Probably a Genesis issue

Ethereum/tests

  • Ethereum/tests
    • No updates, not yet merged

Client updates

EL

Nethermind

  • Spent time on Holesky recovery, Chiado all good, pending testing results. One issue, which may not affect Chiado. Asked input to Gnosis devops about CPU info.

  • Reviewing Pectra post audit, but nothing important found yet

  • Working on history expiry

Erigon

  • New release 3.0.0-rc.3 small fix for syncing from scratch post-pectra. One small issue in RPC for estimateGas.

Geth

  • No updates, not ready yet for Pectra.

Reth

  • Made compatible with Chiado, synced up until Cancun stopping before Pectra. Stuck on a post-execution issue.

  • Second mainnet sync on-going

  • Attempt to be ready by Pectra

CL

  • PR to baked in Chiado, didn’t make it on time for the fork. But for the mainnet release they will be released

Pectra

  • Fork date on Ethereum is unclear at the moment.

  • Geth network share appears negligible at the moment.

  • We commit to schedule Gnosis date whenever Ethereum schedules, choosing a date that’s a few days earlier. Temptative date of April 1st is dropped.

  • DAppNode packages ownership: we should claim ownership of those

    • Nethermind: In their CI already
    • Erigon: Gnosis should CI it
    • Geth: Gnosis should CI it
    • Reth: Gnosis should CI it
    • Lighthouse: Gnosis should CI it
    • Teku: ?, maybe Gnosis should CI it
    • Nimbus: ?, wrapping the release anyway. Gnosis should CI it
    • Lodestar: In their CI, Nico owns it

Research

  • History expiry in Chiado: activation date?
    • Geth may not be ready, but we will keep at least one node able to serve history.
    • Reth already starts from merge state, need to look into support
