- Mainnet shadow fork was a success! The blocks are finalizing, and everything looks solid on the execution clients. Congrats to all the hard-working teams! 🎉
- Ethereum proof-of-stake chain has upgraded to Shapella. Withdrawal is now enabled 🎉 This closes the loop of the original beacon chain design. Validator can deposit -> withdrawal.
- I developed a newfound appreciation for blockchain liveness (especially LMD-GHOST fork choice) since yesterday's incident. Ethereum didn't finalize for 3 epochs, but it kept going. Users were barely affected or noticed the finality gap.
- Today marks the very first ETH2.0 version release. Congrats everyone! 🎉
- Market is down 📉, but we keep chugging 🚂 Mainnet shadow fork 4 has merged and finalized! 🎉
- My attempt to break down what happened and the probability of how it happened 🧵The Ethereum beacon chain experienced a 7-block deep reorg ~2.5h ago. This shows that the current attestation strategy of nodes should be reconsidered to hopefully result in a more stable chain! (proposals already exist)
- London is here! heart felt thank you to everyone that made this happen! Next stop! Altair(eth2)🌠, then Merge(eth1+eth2)🌲
- Ropsten beacon chain genesis was a success! 🎉 Few validators are offline and expected due to testing, anyone can follow the progress here: beaconchain.ropsten.ethdevops.io/epochs
- We merged! What a surreal feeling after working on the beacon chain for two years and the merge for two years. This was the most complex project I've ever participated and it wouldn't have been possible without all the brilliant minds. History was made today! Congrats! 🐼
