look, you made it such deliciously low-hanging fruit that i couldn't not fix your graph for you *in keeping with your format, i only grabbed major milestone releases *comparing number of releases seems like pretty silly data

The goats at @ethPandaOps spent a days spinning devnets for us to test a PoC of RLNC for Ethereum mainnet. @parithosh_j @BarnabasBusa @_pk910_ @samcmAU were directly involved, but the whole team built up the tools to be able to quickly deploy 1000 nodes ethresear.ch/t/faster-block…

90% of attestations arrive within 2 seconds. 6-second slots are comfortably achievable! The chart shows when attestations were first seen during the last 100 missed slots. (Missed slots provide clearer timing data, as all clients attest at the same time)

How is it that the most performant execution clients are implemented in C# and Java? There’s always so much hype around Rust and Go and endless jokes about Java. And yet…

We have already worked on this topic within Besu. We implemented a mechanism that allows for a set of RPC nodes without the Merkle tree. The performance is good, and the node size remains small thanks to only storing the flat state.

Approaching 800 TPS on the Ethereum Ecosystem! 🚀

People don’t want that banks can freeze their accounts. People don’t want to be censored on social media. People don’t want to be blocked by a website because of where they live. Self custody and decentralisation are just tools to achieve what people care about.

Besu is now the 2nd fastest EL client on Ethereum 🚀

1/ Protocol Guild’s new brand, logo, and website are live! Our mission remains the same: To secure Ethereum’s future by funding core developers. We will safely scale Ethereum to be long-term infrastructure for the world.

Besu completed the migration from PMT to Verkle on Hoodi and is following the head. As we can’t compare our state root with other clients yet, we’re using Pectra’s gas cost rules to compare gas usage between PMT and Verkle blocks. Next, testing with a bigger testnet @StatelessEth

Funny how the Vatican got exempted from reciprocal tariffs and a month later we get the first Pope from Chicago. God works in mysterious trade deals.

Gas limit on Sepolia already at 54M 🚀

The Real Slim Shady: CVE-2025-30147 - The curious case of subgroup check on Besu blog.ethereum.org/2025/05/07/the…

Let's gooo, besu numbers below. This is one specific use case, but interesting to see how high can go the throughput. x.com/vdWijden/statu…

As is tradition, Vitalik and the rest of the core devs will be sealed in a chamber today to commence the Pectra hardfork. Should the hardfork be successful white smoke will emerge. Black smoke will emerge if it's a failure.

A study estimates the lower bound for solo stakers at around 10,000. x.com/stake_cat/stat… (Sorry, I can’t answer directly)

2) Eth doesn't do irregular app state transitions. These are centralized af.

It’s a pivot not a reprioritization. Whenever scaling L1 was brought up in the past, many core devs said that we should use all resources for blob increases only. Even in Sassal’s roadmap L1 scaling only comes after having a zkEVM, which obviously we don’t have on mainnet.…
