Patches

Today I'm releasing github.com/jshufro/remote… Since @AttestantIO released Vouch and Dirk in 2020, they have respectively become the industry standard multi-beacon validator client and bls threshold signer implementation. Now you can use Dirk with any Validator Client.

@LidoFinance @StakingRewards Different max scores for different protocols kind of undermine any value this report has. As does the bit where Lido's score went up 4 days before this tweet github.com/stakingrewards… Continue to DYOR, don't trust web pages just because they're pretty.

Staking Rewards launched a comprehensive DeFi ratings framework, and stETH earned the highest rating of all rated products: A+ A deep audit history, a 2M USD Immunefi bug bounty, and features like Dual Governance all contribute to making Lido the most resilient DeFi protocol.

We are close to releasing Vouch 1.13.0, which includes a new strategy for supermajority risk protection called combinedmajority. We have been testing it for about 5 months on @AttestantIO Hoodi's validators, with excellent validator performance. You can find details about this new strategy here: github.com/attestantio/vo…

The 2026 Ethereum Staking Survey is now open! Any type of staker or even non-stakers are called to respond here: ethstaker.org/forms/staking-… Thank you for helping us collect a current snapshot of the staking landscape and community sentiment. These surveys help show where advocacy efforts are needed or whether existing efforts are making an impact.

Well, now you can. I've been running this on Hoodi for a while and it works well. There's an outstanding bug that is resolved in Vero but unreleased that you may want to wait for: github.com/serenita-org/v… I have not run this on mainnet. Use at your own risk.

That said, I'm not sure why you'd want to! Notably, @SerenitaIO 's Vero can give you strong protection against supermajority risks. Vouch can also be configured to achieve similar guarantees, with improvements on the way. But maybe you just want to run Dirk and, say, Nimbus.

The beauty in an MIT license is that you can literally just do things. So I made a better @ethereum website. betterethereum.org/?v=5

sprocketpool.net (@Rocket_Pool smoothing pool dashboard) has been fixed updated for Atlas, and I'm looking for ideas on what kind of new metrics would be nice to have!

The @ethStaker staking gathering at devconnect was the most informative and valuable event I've been to at one of these conferences!

1/ An Ethereum client is software that connects to the Ethereum network, verifies blocks and transactions, and lets you interact with the blockchain.

Scrolling down past a lot of blank space shows their bot alphabetically tagging targets. Don't click links in github emails- navigate to github.com and check your inbox instead. Ignore notifcations from organizations and repositories you aren't a part of!

A phishing email from github (yes, actually from github) is going around- Scammers created a github org called gitcoinfunds and a repo called gitcoin-co and are tagging devs in an issue with this body so that they click the link which actually goes to a diff domain.

Head Chef at my normie hobby-job knows about Pectra...

Join us this Thursday Feb 13 at 17:00 UTC for a community call! We'll learn about the @Rescue_Node service available to Ethereum stakers in a conversation with @0xpatches, @nextblock_eth, and Poupas. Set a notification for the livestream: youtube.com/live/FQ1YBGLDM… And there will be a POAP to collect for attending! The POAP mint will be powered by @arbitrum.

@zengjiajun_eth @nixorokish (Note that this article is from 2013 when de Blasio was still not the failure of a mayor we nostalgically yearn for under Adams)

@zengjiajun_eth @nixorokish If Fios were available, I would. They're also guilty of defrauding the city....

50 Mbps upload bandwidth as an assumption for participation in Ethereum staking is too high given global average speeds. 25 seems more doable, but it's incongruous to say we can both rely on home stakers to build local blocks but also 'price' them out in terms of bandwidth imo, 20 or 25 could be considered for both outsourced & locally-built blocks, pending more home staking data reports from @ethPandaOps (sorry Australia, who I think averages closer to 18 Mbps) And that's only until we have something like FOCIL in place (at which point, we don't need to rely on locally-built blocks for censorship resistance)

@nixorokish @zengjiajun_eth Paying $85 a month for Spectrum to grace me with with this garbage. Fiber/Verizon is not widely available. Verizon is also currently shilling 5G home internet with substantially worse latency. I love Brooklyn but our internet sucks.

@zengjiajun_eth the data comes from speedtest.net/global-index, it's the most used internet speed test and their methodology is listed on the website @0xPatches please report about Brooklyn internet

I guess this marks two years of (mostly) smooth Rescue Node operation!

We look forward to partnering with and supporting the operation of @Rescue_Node going forward! More info here:
