Vitalik's Casper logo
The consensus algorithm known as CASPER underpins the Ethereum proof of stake process. Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, shared an image of the CASPER friendly ghost that was generated by AI. Additionally, he said that while some functions are lacking, it is improving.

Merge data challenge
The Ethereum Foundation is sponsoring a Merge data analysis and data visualisation blog post contest until October 31st, 2022. Here are all the necessary details.
All Ethereum supporters, data engineers, data scientists, data visualizers, developers, and anybody else interested in exploring Ethereum data are invited!
You may listen to the audio recording of the Twitter spaces that were hosted by many main Ethereum engineers on Thursday at 4 PM UTC.
Mark your calendars!

Tune into a twitter space about Merge Data Challenge this Thursday at 4pm UTC!https://t.co/z5fAiuMktN
I'll be joined by @vdWijden @Infosecual @barnabemonnot and other L1 folks to discuss data challenge details, ideas, cool visuals, and more
Coinbase Cloud launch Node RPC
Node provides free, immediate read/write access to the blockchain for developers (starting with Eth). Advanced and NFT APIs, powerful data indexers, and eventually, much more.
I am proud to announce our latest launch:

✨ Node by @CoinbaseCloud✨
Node gives developers free and instant blockchain read/write access (starting with Eth). Powerful data indexers, Advanced and NFT APIs, and soon, much more.
Open sign up is live! 🏃💨 https://t.co/MFSa6yc1M3
Zeromev-Geth fork
It is a Geth fork that makes orders based on time rather than gas. The maximum frontrunning time for anyone is approximately 0.5 seconds (worst case). Along with increasing MEV, MEV-Boost also encourages users to avoid the decentralised mempool by centralising Ethereum around a small number of powerful builders. For more information, see the thread below.
Calling all validators📢

We've released Zeromev-Geth to help you avoid:
😇 toxic MEV
😇 builder centralization & censorship under MEV-Boost
😇 the moral & legal jeopardy of being bribed to frontrun users
Still allows for non-toxic MEV (backrunning)https://t.co/ZcEZv5zK6i

Nimbus release v22.9.1
Nimbus no longer supports the non-standard /api/ prefix for the Beacon REST API. All users should migrate to the standardized /eth/ prefix: #4115. This is a medium-urgency upgrade addressing several frequently reported issues after the merge and bringing minor performance improvements in the post-merge world.
🔔A Nimbus release v22.9.1 is out! 🔔

Swarm Desktop (Beta) launched
A decentralised storage and communication system is called Swarm. You can directly connect to the network by running a small Swarm node on your personal PC. Although the beta version is completely functional, you can join their discord server to get more information if you need it.
Swarm Foundation just announced the biggest news since mainnet launch — Swarm Desktop (Beta) 🐝
— Ethereum Swarm (@ethswarm) June 21, 2022
Setting up a node on the Swarm network is now easier than ever. Anyone can gain decentralised access to the Swarm network 💾
