We just released v1.28.0 which contains fixes and optimizations we found throughout the Holesky rescue. This release is recommended for all users of Lodestar on all networks. This release contains the --network hoodi network option for the new public testnet. 🧵 For the full

Now that we've showcased what can go wrong during hard forks, how seemingly small things can create big problems and why it's important to run minority clients, let's see how Lodestar contributed to rescuing the Holesky network & what changes we've made! blog.chainsafe.io/lodestar-holes…

Dropping some thoughts as this concerns me a lot lately: - What happens when a DPRK-backed persona slips into Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, etc.? - What happens when client teams get compromised from within, turning trusted core devs into silent attack vectors? - What happens if the

Releasing ESPLR - a local ETH block explorer. Big problem of ecosystem is reliance on 3rd party RPCs (infura, alchemy, quicknode). Also reliance on 3rd party explorers (etherscan). They track users: it makes system one big panopticon. Local nodes can make the situation better!

Serenita is the best-performing Ethereum node operator in the world over the last month! 🎉 Great to see this, especially considering our industry-leading client-diverse infrastructure! 🔥

Lodestar has just released its v1.29.0 Pectra ready release for mandatory upgrading. If you are running Gnosis or Ethereum mainnets, this version is the minimum required to ensure your node makes it through the hard forks on Gnosis (Apr-30-2025 14:03:40 UTC) and Ethereum

Ethereum's next network upgrade, Pectra, is coming to mainnet on May 7th, at epoch 364032 🎉 Pectra introduces EIP-7702, several improvements to validator UX, a doubling of the blob count (.oO!) and many other features! More on this below 👇

* Phil Ngo and nflaig.eth will join us to share how the Lodestar team helped rescue Holesky after a chaotic Pectra hard fork, unpacking invalid blocks, weeks of unfinality, and what it all taught us about client diversity and network resilience.

People are missing the important points in this Solana emergency fork situation 1) Eth has client diversity and a protocol spec steered by a meaningful research community. The most popular eth client, geth, has at most 41% market share. Sol has one prod client (just one; don't

why are people surprised by this? they literally have docs on how to rollback the chain docs.anza.xyz/operations/gui…

Don’t be this guy. Update your nodes for Pectra. You have 15 hours.

Pectra has gone live and finalized 🎉 ! Testing of the newly activated EIPs continues.

Great work on Pectra, everyone :)

Thank you to everyone who contributed to getting Pectra shipped securely 🦒 It’s been one of the most complex forks to scope, test and ship. Grateful for the opportunity to help shape it. Onto the next one ✨

Lodestar just landed our v1.30.0 release with some optimizations for node operators. We recommend upgrading to take advantage of some of these new optimizations. 🧵 For the full changelog, please see: github.com/ChainSafe/lode…
