Our semi-regular updates on what we are up to with our infra
Changes
One of the Netherminds has been replaced with Reth. This makes it:
Nimbus/Nethermind, Teku/Besu, Lodestar/Reth
The VC remains Vouch with a 3/5 threshold Dirk
Future
We are looking forward to Vouch 1.9, which will reduce downtime: It will start if one of the CLs happens to be down.
Nethermind will eventually be resynced on Path or Paprika, when that is ready.
Besu may get a resync for receipt compaction.
EIP-4444 might land this year. Nethermind is working on their own Portal implementation.
Vouch 1.10 - possibly in 2025, unless it slips to 2026 - may enable active/active, which reduces risk further.
We intend to consolidate validators after Pectra, up to the new MaxEB, in consultation with the Lido DAO
