it’s wild how quickly we’ve taken the merge for granted relative to the degree of skepticism before it happened

Incoming! 🚀
The Nethermind client is making room for all of you optimists out there. Stay tuned!

#Ethereum @optimismFND packages and docs are up. You can run a node just by firing a few commands:
➖sudo apt update && sudo apt install optimism-op-node optimism-op-geth
➖op-geth-preinstall
➖sudo systemctl start op-geth
➖sudo systemctl start op-node

this is healthy & working as intended. The Ethereum PoS consensus mechanism doesn't overpay for security like PoW did.
If there are more than enough validators, low yield encourages you to put your assets elsewhere
validators are in service of Ethereum, not the other way around

I've had questions about the non finality (May) and how Teku was affected... It wasn't something I could explain briefly, but for those that are interested I've done what I could to break it down...

Optimism's bedrock migration reduced gas costs by an impressive ~56% ⚡️

Experts seldom solve problems by stretching their skills to the limit. First they spend considerable effort decomposing the problem into tasks that can be solved with ordinary skills.

Hey peeps, just dropped a new chapter.
As promised, the definitive account of Deposits and Withdrawals.
The incremental Merkle tree is a beautiful thing to behold 🌲👀

The critical importance of Ethereum's client diversity goes unappreciated 99.9% of the time.
But it counts for everything during the 0.1% of times that something goes wrong.
Sending kudos to the heroes who build and maintain Ethereum clients 🙏

Teku v23.5.0 is now available. This is a recommended update.
Key changes:
Filters old attestations that were observed to cause problems on mainnet

Lots of people asking how much ETH was burned by yesterday's inactivity leak. Back of envelope (assumes 8 epoch leak, 65% validators offlne):
About 28 ETH (c. 0.0006 ETH/offline validator).
However, attestation rewards were zero for the duration, so that's ~50 ETH not issued.
Today the Ethereum mainnet experienced its first ever inactivity leak.
Unsure what that means? Everything you never wanted to know is right here: eth2book.info/latest/part2/i…

client diversity ftw
hard to imagine working on a system without it
not only does it bring an incredibly diverse set of characters to build, vet, and secure the specifications and implementations
but it literally saves the chain on days like today
Adrian Sutton retweeted
Looks like it's time to go back to a round of beacon node performance work - 560k validators is not a joke to be dealing with vs the 20k we started mainnet with
