EL​

• Nethermind: yParity mismatch on ethers@v6. Going to look into this. New config variables for Teku (default ones) fixed the issue with newer version. No updates

• Erigon: Erigon v3 is a fundamental rearchitecture for the data structures.Old state is read-only and can be stored on IPFS / torrent Caplin: New embedded CL, UX improvement. Can save on the disk footprint because you don’t need to duplicate blocks between EL and CL Might also become a validator client.

• Geth: Burner contract was missing. Rewards are still being figured out because the contract doesn’t return anything despite a reward having to be paid. Wondering if there’s an archive node for Guillaume. Ping Anna from Gateway on Telegram

CL​

• Lighthouse No updates.

Mainnet

Preliminary audit done, waiting for formal approval. Dappnode packages done. We need new ones for Erigon and Nimbus. Sedge: right versions? Avado, Stereum?

Hive Tests

Erigon still in progress Added transfer event checks Separated execution layer checks from protocol layer checks The dashboard works and is ready to be deployed The question is how this is going to fit into the workflow, where it’s going to be hosted and who’s going to manage it Will be talked about with Marcos Looking into adding more corner cases before the shapella hard fork

Chiado

Contract not upgraded yet, will be done today

Chain Infra

Gateway: Experiences some issues on Nethermind nodes when there’s too many concurrent requests. Still investigating this. Will ping on Telegram

Research

Verkle trees: On mainnet a billion nodes will have to be updated, which will be done in batches. On Gnosis Chain, as the blocks are faster, there’s less work to calculate those batches. Gnosis Chain seems to have way less accounts: about 1 million according to Gnosisscan, does that seem correct?

• Geth: No updates

CL​

• Prysm: No updates.
• Lighthouse No updates.

Mainnet

Audit still ongoing All the clients have created releases Working on Dappnode packages now

Sedge Can we add Erigon? Can we add Nimbus? Probably not

Can we update all the client versions for shapella?

Deposit Contract

We added a executeSystemWithdrawals with the first argument removed. This can be used instead of the one with the deprecated argument if we deprecate Chiado at some point. Alternatively, we can also implement branching logic for Chiado specifically and use that new function for Gnosis mainnet. Needs to be 4 for Chiado for now.

Chain Infra

Gateway: No updates

Chiado

8 withdrawals consume ~45k gas Slot cleanup script done Next step: upgrade to the latest contract version

Hivetest

We solved the warm coinbase issue. Some contracts were missing. Start to look into claim events Building a dashboard, similar to what the EF has To show the test results for different clients https://hivetests.ethdevops.io/ Running the entire suit takes a few hours, so it can sometimes time out on CI GitHub Actions only allows for up to 6 hours This might have been fixed?

Chain Infra

Gateway : Issues with Erigon archival nodes caused by snapshots.Erigon team knows, there’s an issue on GitHub. There is a workaround.

To-do

Shadowfork? There are two observations for Chiado. The state seems to be increasing way faster than before. It might just be related to the withdrawals in blocks, as previously Chiado blocks were mostly empty. Block processing is ~20ms slower. Might also just be linked to withdrawals in blocks. The gas usage is around the same, but system transactions don’t count towards that limit. Might be worth checking this on mainnet with a shadowfork Chiado upgrade Add debug logs to system level transactions to see how much gas they consume. It should be the same for mainnet and chiado Deposit UI: Staking providers, Rocket pool, Stakewise, Etc

Chiado

Storage layout issue? https://github.com/gnosischain/deposit-contract/pull/46 Attach storage layout maps comparison to the PR for clarity

Most people from Nethermind will be available. Andrew from erigon team will be available. Somebody from Gateways will be available most likely. Giacomo won’t be available. Releases expected as soon as possible with expected date of ~ 2 weeks

Can Ruben independently check the slot and times so we don’t have the same issue as on Chiado? Test to check if timestamp valid were added on Nethermind

Hive

Coinbase issue There are two checks for the account access cost. Hardcoded value that is failing on pre-shanghai Will check with Mario. On post-shanghai we have warm coinbase due to EIP-3651. So it’s not a blocker for the hard fork at all

Issue with Erigon Marcos is already checking with Andrew

Devnet

Script ran and verified the transfer events for withdrawals Process Fetch withdrawals and transfer events https://github.com/filoozom/gnosis-withdrawals-scripts/blob/tests/fetch-withdrawals.js https://github.com/filoozom/gnosis-withdrawals-scripts/blob/tests/fetch-transfer-events.js Compare the two https://github.com/filoozom/gnosis-withdrawals-scripts/blob/tests/check.js Might want to check all gno.balanceOf(address) values in between How was the contract upgraded regarding the storage layout?

Gateway : Fixed the launchpad.

Withdrawals

GNew contract: https://github.com/gnosischain/deposit-contract/pull/45 Audit in progress Very basic

To-do

• New devnet

  • 50/50 Nethermind + Erigon

• Shadowfork Be careful with the contract upgrades because we can get replayed. What are we trying to achieve with this fork? What are the questions we want to answer? We can also disregard this but spam the devnet with a lot of transactions instead so we have more accurate blocks instead of empty ones. The way it worked for Ethereum. Sync mainnet and stop ELs on some block. Take that hash in the beacon chain genesis. Spin up a new beacon chain with shapella scheduled. We also need to upgrade the contract. We can get replayed. We can also deploy the contracts now. (before the shadow fork) As long as we coordinate around deposit UI changes.

• Upgrade contract on Chiado Deposit UIs

• Mainnet Make sure that enough core devs are available because the holiday season is going to start

Hive

Added more tests to the previous suites. Everything is working. Started to add Erigon, Marcos is in touch with Andrew to fix remaining issues

GNO transfer events issue. Impacted services / tools https://www.notion.so/gnosischain/Scope-3fc9a72e49ab469092403cc931b4aa46

It should definitely be addressed. Solutions - There are a cost for staying ERC20 compliant - Need more research - System lvl Tx that may be added at the end of the block . It should be synced properly. No matter if it will contain all withdrawals or we will create transaction per every withdrawal. It will have its own hash.

OPTION F https://hackmd.io/@dapplion/BJoPtyI82#Option-F-withdraw-contract-pull-distribution Use Aura ‘prioritized’ Tx for withdrawals call This approach considered good and clear

Research

Need to research if Rocket pool might brake by withdrawals issue fix (approach ‘F’) Contact StakeWise

Mainnet

Hardfork is delayed.

Testnet

Don’t need hardfork to for withdrawals issue fix (approach ‘F’)

Hive

Hive test are done. Finalized on changes. Finalized Nethermind node sync. Withdrawals simulation created. Sync test also created.

Research

GNO Transfer events in withdrawals. Needs to be very clearly documented. Has the potential to break things. Explorers and Indexers (how are they extracting withdrawal information right now?)

• The Graph
• Dune

Brainstorming Withdrawals are system transactions Potential solutions: It’s still technically possible to emit receipts, but they wouldn’t be linked to a transaction. It’s fine, but it could break some things. When syncing, we expect the number of receipts to be equal to the number of transactions, but in this case there would be transactions + 1 receipts. Could break JSON-RPC because of existing assumptions. Probably not the best way, but Lukasz doesn’t see any other way.

Inside the node, when someone calls eth_getLogs we could add some artificial logs to GNO based on withdrawals. Would be very hacky. Only on the JSON-RPC level. Might be complicated because of some specific optimizations. Might not be related only to eth_getLogs, because with those logs you should be sure that the withdrawal was applied, which we can’t necessarily do with Gnosis withdrawals. Could work fine without failing withdrawals. We could add a custom transaction that has a receipt for all the GNO transfer events. This would make blocks a bit more specific. Could make it more difficult for block builders. Some more specific code for Gnosis that is different from mainnet.

Testnet

Timestamp The shapella hard fork caused the network to no longer accept contract deployments because of a bug in Nethermind related to EIP-3860 and EIP-170 We fixed the network on May 26, 2023 by updating all Nethermind nodes It didn’t require a hard fork, as it’s the majority client on Chiado and technically didn’t do anything “wrong”, i.e. didn’t produce blocks that are invalid according to our spec

Hive

Tests for withdrawals Testing that the balance is applied correctly to the address. Sending transactions and checking that they are performing ok. Checking the storage after withdrawals are applied.

Testing sync Created blocks and transactions and connected other clients to test if they can sync.

Tested hard forks Next step is to add Erigon to the tests

Mempool Transactions that are way too expensive to be executed and can’t be replaced https://gnosisscan.io/tx/0x187037824111a2bbc106c63881e34115cc1f4daf9d5e50899bc8e74b1ae3ad04 https://gnosisscan.io/tx/0x767da6692a34117f42869b9780f4752f61d8119b3e2d62d0f79e72c406e428f0 Transactions that are too cheap and will never be executable https://blockscout.com/xdai/mainnet/tx/0x0adeb6c464c37c86145f135fb9e9252ca504d5706226b7b250ddfb05e42075b8 Small oversight because it’s a local transaction, but shouldn’t be an issue Nethermind will fix this, but it’s no big deal Will get evicted if a more appropriate transaction comes in

Tests

Hive: Good progress pre and post-shanghai. Implement tests for post-shanghai scenarios. Syncing status: Producing blocks and sending transactions. Verified that withdrawals work like expected. Not getting the expected results. But the root is built correctly and the withdrawals are indeed being executed. Later (timeline: 2-3 weeks) Block reorgs and syncing issues. Edge cases: Integrate Erigon. Making sure that everything integrated with Nethermind also works with Erigon.
