EthStaker 🦇🔊

@VitalikButerin It’s all automated by quite a few tools: eg ethdocker.com or surge from nethermind The split has some unseen benefits, we have a MITM that allows us to inspect comms and turn on/off certain paths to create chaos (eg node attesting but not producing blocks)

@VitalikButerin > we want some more standardized basic wrapper that lets you install dockers of any client and make them talk to each other easily 💯 checkout EthDocker (ethdocker.com) by Ethstaker. A good % uses it for just this purpose. For easy node ops and staking, give it a try!

We should be open to revisiting whole beacon/execution client separation thing. Running two daemons and getting them to talk to each other is far more difficult than running one daemon. Our goal is to make the self-sovereign way of using ethereum have good UX. In many cases that means running your own node. The current approach to running your own node adds needless complexity. Short-term, maybe we want some more standardized basic wrapper that lets you install dockers of any client and make them talk to each other easily? Also good that @ethnimbus unified node github.com/status-im/nimb… exists. Longer term, we should be open to revisiting the whole architecture once @leanethereum lean consensus is more mature.

Ethereal News (@EtherealnewsHQ edited by @abcoathup) has been a solid place to keep up with industry happenings. Give it a follow / subscribe. We especially enjoy the staking ecosystem summaries, see last week's below. Some comments - On client diversity: Ethstaker is working with the community of client teams to identify ways to better watermark and track marketshare levels to create a more reliable baseline for understanding trends and impacts of efforts to balance them. Stay tuned! - In addition to the client releases outlined in Ethereal News, there was a "mandatory" release yesterday (github.com/Consensys/teku…) that Teku operators should be aware of.

EIP-8105 team declares support for LUCID Enshrined Encrypted Mempools: ethereum-magicians.org/t/hegota-headl…

On Hegota headliners: - Last week we hosted all 6 teams to hear pitches (see recording). - On Thurs, FOCIL was chosen as CL headliner in ACD. - This week, the team from EIP-8105 Universal Enshrined Encrypted Mempool declared their support for LUCID Enshrined Encrypted Mempool. So there's one Encrypted Mempool option (🔗in next tweet). - Headliners should finalize in ACD tomorrow. Voice any support for an EL headliner now!

🔥Pico Prism update: same real-time Ethereum proving performance, 75% fewer GPUs. 16 GPUs. Two machines. 99%+ blocks proven under 12 seconds. $32K in GPU costs. 🧵

Just wrapped ACDC#175. Was quite a short call, but clients are heads down working on ePBS implementations towards Glamsterdam devnets. Even so, we confirmed FOCIL as the (CL) headliner for the Hegotá hard fork! Thanks to everyone who put in the work to get to this point.

@Rocket_Pool Congrats @Rocket_Pool on Saturn 1! Good watching the launch with you. For any who missed live, here's the event recording: x.com/ethStaker/stat…

Saturn One is live! Rocket Pool's biggest upgrade ever has been successfully deployed on mainnet. RPL fee switch, 4 ETH validators, MEGAPOOLs, & more are now active. In 2026, Rocket Pool is still the only fully permissionless staking protocol - no reliance on AWS or a select few trusted "professionals". Rocket Pool has been built in alignment with Ethereum's core values since day one. If you support credible neutrality & freedom from censorship, there has never been a better time stake your ETH with Ethereum's decentralised liquid staking protocol. Find out more about Saturn One at the links below.

Please update your geth nodes!
