May 14, 2025

Infrastructure

Gateway​

  • There was an issue on Friday that caused Gnosis Pay transactions to get rejected

    • Erigon and Nethermind had diverging results in pending transaction counts

    • That’s a design flaw in Gnosis Pay tbh

  • Working on a feature to choose which clients will serve requests on Gateway

    • ETA early summe

Innovation

Shutter​

  • Fixed some issues and contacted the keypers to update

    • Some issues in the dht libp2p library

    • Some keyper were offline

Testing

Hive​

  • No updates

Ethereum Test​

  • No updates

Ethereum/Test​

  • No updates

Client updates

EL​

Nethermind​

  • Bigger release soon to come with a bunch of smaller improvements and fixes

Erigon​

  • There are Caplin nodes on the network that are still on Deneb and advertising mainnet Electra (ending with 00 instead of 64) as the next fork https://probelab.io/gnosis/dht/2025-19/#next-forks

    • I’m assuming that it’s just nodes that weren’t up to date and where Electra wasn’t scheduled, so doesn’t sound like a big issue

  • Validating performance with Caplin seems suboptimal on mainnet (lots more attestation misses)

    • Functionality-wise Caplin is considered stable

    • Some performance optimizations are still coming

    • Validating performance is a priority right now, so we can expect this to improve in the future

  • Started working on Fusaka

  • Erigon 3.1 should contain Shutter and should be more robust in terms of performance and snapshots, as well as eth_getLogs

  • New snapshots will enable faster eth_getLogs

Geth​

  • Released 1.15.11, contains a couple of small fixes

  • Work necessary to support Shutter

    • Support the encryption to fetch and decrypt transactions from the sequencer contract

    • P2p layer based on libp2p

    • Can contact Marc from Nethermind and Milen from Erigon

Reth​

  • Upgraded Reth upstream to 1.3.12 with minor refactors

Pectra​

  • Testing to do

Research​
