Meeting Info:

Ethereum mainnet shadow fork 10 announced

Expected date and time- Wednesday, 27th of July at around 2PM UTC.

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:

Transparent finances of the Protocol guild

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.

zkSync 2.0 launching in 100 days

Along with Polygon and Scroll Matter labs has also announced zkSync 2.0 which will be launching to Mainnet in 100 days.

These are the features of zkSync 2.0:

  • zkSync is EVM and web3 compatible.
  • 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.

Scroll designed key technical principles for their zkRollup

To scale Ethereum with our zkEVM-based zkRollup, they have designed Scroll based on a set of technical principles which uphold Scroll's core values. These principles broadly covers four categories -

(1) Ensuring User Security

(2) Maintaining EVM-Equivalence

(3) Efficiency

(4) Decentralization across all layers of the community
