The Merge is coming 🐼
Teku v22.7.0 is now available
Preparing for the merge includes setting up a local execution client, including it's JWT authenticated engine API and specifying adding Teku's --ee-endpoint to point to it. Validators also need to set a default fee recipient with --validators-proposer-default-fee-recipient.
Key changes:
- Scheduled the Prater/Görli merge
- Optimised storage of latest attestation data
- Fixed a resource leak from closed SSE connections and more
IMPORTANT: Prater nodes must be made "merge ready" as part of upgrading
See the docs here.
Transparent finances of the Protocol guild
Protocol guild have made a Dune analytics dashboard showcasing their pilot phase finances which are containted in a Split and Vesting contract from 0xSplits, and also at stateful.eth.
We worked with @datamonkey_eth to craft this awesome @DuneAnalytics dashboard

Give the dashboard a ⭐️ - we definitely recommend their work if you're looking for an analyst!https://t.co/FRoKmLCGQy
EthStaker Merge Prep Validator Workshop
The workshop will take place on Friday, July 29th at 11AM EDT
For the purpose of assisting single stakeholders in getting ready for the impending integration, the EthStaker Community is organising a number of livestream workshops. This is an excellent chance to get clarification and make sure that both you and your machine are prepared for the merge.
For this workshop series, EthStaker core members Remy Roy and Yorick will go over Somer Esat's Guides, Coincashew's Guides, and eth-docker installations. The EthStaker team will also be responding to any queries you may have on the merge as it applies to your validator during the livestreams.

- Supports Solidity and Vyper: no security re-audit required.
- Porting is effortless: 99% of tooling will work out of the box.
- With zkSync your project will inherit the full security of Ethereum.
- You will benefit from more transactions per second and lower gas fees.
- Build on zkSync 2.0 now and be permanently future-proof.
Over the last year, we've been heads down working to scale Ethereum and accelerate its adoption.

Through investments and loans, CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has been working to support the cryptocurrency sector. Some, though, believe that he appears to be bargain shopping in some of his purchases.
