Six Ethereum execution clients. Same bare-metal hardware. The fastest fully syncs in 1.5 hours. The slowest takes 8+ days.
Cross-client behavior on Ethereum is more uneven than most people assume. So we measure it.

- The Identified DVT Clusters type is the interesting one here. Stereum Launcher already handles Obol and SSV cluster setup, plus Lido CSM, across 10+ EL and CL clients. Free and open source. stereum.comReplying to @LidoFinance2. CSMv3: Expanding Permissionless Staking Through this upgrade Lido CSM becomes even more reliable and operator-friendly. Alongside multiple under-the-hood technical improvements, the primary new features are: • New Node Operator type: Identified DVT Clusters • Native Node
- The client diversity pillar is the one we can actually help with. Every EC x CC pairing on our fleet runs on identical hardware, and the per-pairing numbers are public.Lido (@LidoFinance) published the first CMv2 operator type assessment. Two operators were assigned the Decentralization Operator type: @everstake_pool and RockLogic. Client diversity is the heaviest pillar in that score: up to 30 points, geography 20, infrastructure 10.
- Five synced ECs on the same Ethereum mainnet: Erigon: ~509 GB Ethrex: ~598 GB Nethermind: ~1,225 GB Besu: ~1,261 GB Geth: ~1,688 GB 3.3× spread, driven by retention architecture. Numbers are upper bounds (hosts rebuilt in 7-16 days). And disk is only half of it.
- Aggregate Ethereum client diversity: 'no client over 55%.' The view from an average Besu node on our fleet: 75% of its 24 peers are Reth. A 12% slice of the network becomes 75% of one node's reality.
