BTW, the mainnet shadow fork was a huge success! Nethermind and Besu stopped at the transition, but a fix is being deployed for Nethermind that allows them to sync up. Geth and Erigon are progressing happily. All beacon chain clients are in agreement. ethstats.mainnetshadowfork1.β¦
Last week, Kilnπ§±π₯ testnet went through the Merge transition to evolve from a PoW to PoS network!
If you are a staker, NOW is the time to run your post-merge setups. Not 2 weeks from now, not "maybe soon". Do it NOW.

Going to DevConnect in Amsterdam? EthStaker is hosting a three-day staking event with guests like @dannyryan, @benjaminion_xyz, @sassal0x, and @jgm and a hackathon in parallel to the staking sessions. Capacity is limited but we just opened tickets, so go!

Kiln, the next iteration of Ethereum merge testnets, is now live π₯π§±
Highly recommended that node operators, application developers, stakers, tooling/infra providers test their setups on the network. Blog post has all the info to get started π

Let me say this as plainly as possible: Kiln is THE BIG milestone for the Ethereum Merge. I urge you once again to participate in this testnet, and I look forward to delivering a POAP to every active participant. It's show time friends. @poapxyz
EXCLUSIVE:
With the publication of my book today, I can finally announce: in the course of writing my book, my sources and I believe we uncovered the identity of the Ethereum's 2016 DAO hacker.
At @EthereumDenver we hacked together a full data-blob-transaction prototype! (a.k.a. mini-danksharding)
Data blobs are the first milestone towards full ethereum sharding, enabling rollups like @optimismPBC to grow 100x in capacity.
Here's a tweet thread about the prototype π§΅
My argument for why the future will be *multi-chain*, but it will not be *cross-chain*: there are fundamental limits to the security of bridges that hop across multiple "zones of sovereignty". From old.reddit.com/r/ethereum/coβ¦:
I'd say it's even more obvious than the 30k (which coincided w some heavy fud and onchain capitulation)
Now tons of quality coins are already rallying, some to new highs
1/We strongly believe that a diverse set of clients is essential to Ethereum's health and decentralization.
To ensure that client teams have a long term incentive to maintain the network, the @Ethereum Foundation has launched the Client Incentive Program
