The Ethereum 2.0 network had its first major incident on Saturday, April 24.
As background, there are four main Eth 2.0 software clients: Prysm, Teku, Lighthouse and Nimbus.
Prysmatic Labs, the developer team behind Prysm, tweeted that the incident caused about 15 ETH to be lost in total.
The incident lasted roughly two hours, where more than 403 blocks were missed.
While the impact of this bug was most widely seen on April 24, evidence of it appeared on a smaller scale as early as Jan.
For all Eth 2.0 validators who are not running Prysm client software, there is no action needed.
“It’s not very feature full, not very sexy, but cleanup has to be done.
Once the merge is complete and the network has stabilized, the post-merge, cleanup hard fork will address unnecessary legacy features of a hybrid proof-of-work and PoS model.
Along with sharding, rollups are a way to condense multiple transactions and reduce their size on any given shard.
It also includes leveraging new technologies such as the Verifiable Delay Function to further secure the randomness by which validators are assigned their responsibilities and thereby make it harder for malicious actors to disrupt the network.
As new user accounts and smart contracts are deployed on Ethereum, the size of Ethereum’s state grows larger and larger.
Ideally, anyone should be able to spin up their own computer, also called a node, and verify the transaction history of Ethereum.
Another solution, called “state expiry,” suggests reducing state size by archiving parts of Ethereum’s state that are more than a year old.
“This sounds crazy but it’s actually easier to do both at the same time than it is to do either just statelessness or just state expiry, which is interesting.
The main takeaway from this new and updated roadmap for Ethereum’s development is that a transition to PoS is just the beginning.
All profits made from this staking venture will be donated to a charity of our choosing once transfers are enabled on the network.
