MEV:

  • Flashbots identified an issue and are working on a fix, aiming for Holesky.
  • Prysm and Nimbus are progressing on SSZ & Builder API : ⁠Builder workflow with SSZ⁠
  • MEV Tests are using local devnets using kurtosis.

Pectra Mainnet Shadow Fork

  • No progress: Clients could not be synced due to infrastructure issues.
  • There was an issue getting mainnet data to the nodes.
  • Rafael started working on a fix.
  • Expected to be resolved today or tomorrow.

Client updates on Pectra

Erigon, Geth, Teku

  • No updates.

Nethermind

  • Marek: still everything good.

Besu

  • Daniel: still everything good with the release.

Reth

  • Roman: Local nodes updated, no major issues.

Prysm

Grandine

  • Saulius: A few small fixes, might wait for a few days for a release, but nothing major.

Lighthouse

  • Pawan: Lighthouse is still on 7.0.0-beta.0 for holesky.

Lodestar

PeerDAS

  • Rafael: Devnet-5, same spec as Devnet-4 and is basically a relaunch, which fixed the client versions issues that caused the problem in Devnet-4.
  • Devnet 5 Tooling: PeerDAS Dashboard

EOF

  • Danno: Devnet-0 is a success
  • 3+ clients in sync in the Devnet-0.
  • Reth fell out for a bit but caught up afterwards.
  • Devnet-1 will contain all EIP changes, and will be longer lived than Devnet-0 to allow public access to deploy and test EOF contracts.
  • Evmone will have a proof-of-concept for TXCREATE over the next couple of weeks, which will allow EEST to fill tests and make fixes.
  • Rafael: Suggested having a hive dashboard for the status of the clients passing EOF tests.
  • Requires an EOF EEST release. Mario will work on this.
