Ethereum Bulletin #78

TL;DR

Beware of orphaned blocks!

terencechain got nerd-sniped while looking into orphaned blocks that were produced by the relayers. All those blocks were very high in latency.

While making slides for Devcon, I got nerd-sniped looking into how orphaned blocks were produced by the relayers. Between Sep/17 - Sep/27, *50%* of the orphaned blocks used builder API. All those orphaned blocks had very high latency. Beware of such risks pic.twitter.com/i9EDV4903lOctober 3, 2022

StakeWise V3 - a major upgrade to the StakeWise protocol

StakeWise introduced StakeWise V3 with the aim to help decentralize Ethereum. It's currently in development and this upgrade will feature:

  • permissionless liquid staking for solo operators
  • osETH, a liquid staked Ether token with slashing protection
  • an open marketplace of mini pools, called Vaults, to choose who will host your validator(s)
The Beacon Chain is already too centralised - only 4 entities control a whole 60% of the stake.

Let's do something about it?
