Client Team Updates
EL
Nethermind:
Issue when fetching events (eth_getLogs) on a contract that hasn’t emitted said event yet
{“jsonrpc”:“2.0”,“result”:[]}{“jsonrpc”:“2.0”,“error”:{“code”:-32016,“message”:“Request was canceled due to enabled timeout.”},“id”:null}
There’s a setting on Json RPC to disable streaming
Erigon will check the code as well
No specific updates
Working on a shadow fork with Carlos
Not sure if it’s going to be ready before mainnet hard fork
Withdrawing works just fine on Chiado
Rechecking everything
Fixed the “too many concurrent requests” issueErigon:
There was an issue for block syncs for older blocks which was fixed in 2.48.1
Syncing from genesis works again
Was probably introduced in 2.46 or 2.47
Working with Marcos for Hive testsGeth:
Nothing significant
Talked to Philippe and Martin
Calling the reward contract seems to work and return the correct result
The root is still wrong
Guillaume has several hypotheses
The state might not be saved to the database after a system transaction
Andrew from Erigon is getting Guillaume some traces for system transactions
Gateway provided Guillaume with an Erigon archive node

Lighthouse
PR to add Chiado
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/4530Nimbus
Added Chiado
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/5208Prsym
Seems to at least start in the latest stable version (v4.0.7)
Doesn’t have the Gnosis presets, so works, but only after a good checkpoint sync and until the next sync committee
More testing needed
Hive Tests
https://hive-gno.nethermind.io/
Shapella
All one-click staking solutions are ready
Dappnode
Avado
Stereum
Sedge
Deposit contract proxy upgraded on Monday

40% cheaper
Gnosis deposit UI updated shortly afterwards on Monday (and was tested)
But we coordinated badly around this and Gnosis Builders and Gateway weren’t ready / kept in the loop
Totally our fault
We broke a few projects
Dappnode deposit
Gateway launchpad
Ankr liquid staking
Stakewise
Gnosis Builders deposit UI
Party
Streamed online
Who wants to join?
Block Building
Can we use Nethermind?
There seems to be some functionality, but not updated for Shapella?
Can definitely make it work
Can we use Erigon?
Will check
Research
Gnosis as a L2 thought experiment
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zZJswccklwEE3q_HZAQ7kDlKHHa2zzg4Fcw5Rbgf0n4/edit
Polygon and Celo started talks about this
Chain Infra
Gateway
Was the deposit UI updated?
Apparently yes, tests pending
The issue with Nethermind was fixed
Decided to sync some Erigon nodes for non-archival mainnet to have some diversityPotential issues for the next hard fork
Short block times could be an issue because of bigger blocks and thus higher latency to get a block across the network
Dapplion is questioning whether we actually even need blobs
Philippe thinks we should have them to be compatible with mainnet, even if we have to have less than mainnet
Martin also expected there to be demand
The zkEVM L2 for Gnosis Pay would be an example
There’s also some other partnerships with Spark / Fuel building on this
This might actually become a huge selling point for Gnosis as we (and Lukso now) are the only other chains with a beacon chain and thus 4844 compatibility
Changing the intervals for block building, attestation and aggregation would require consensus from all client devs
