Client Team Updates

EL

• Nethermind:
  Exploring Shutter and waiting for some answers
  Probably going to release a new version of Nethermind end of this week
• Erigon:
  No updates
• Geth:
  Found the previous problem thanks to Somnath
  The contracts weren’t properly imported, but the logic works correctly
  Was able to sync 145k blocks
  After this, one transaction has an invalid gas usage (more expensive on geth)
  https://gnosisscan.io/tx/0x05a1fdb3888007224b13b425e7c2442b3f462919a52f8785b857c15dd255d5d2
  Comparing traces as we speak
  Has to rebuild the current state (~14 hours)
  Needs access to an S3 bucket in order not to have to sync from scratch constantly
  Implemented the withdrawal contract to be able to go through the transition once it gets there

Chain Infra

• Gateway
  No one present

Dencun

• Devnets
• Empty system address?
  We’ll try to send a few wei to the system account on Chiado first
• Devnets
  Carlos is preparing configurations for the devnet
  Should be ready for end of this week or start of the next one
  Working on the max churn limit

Hive Tests

Started working on the dencun tests
As soon as tests are ready, they’ll be shown in the dashboard https://hive-gno.nethermind.io/
Work on upstreaming will be done after dencun tests are implemented
Somnath can help for that
Will speak with Egor about adding older Hive tests

Research

• AuRa contracts
  Should be cleaned up
  Jorge was exploring this topic but gave up
  Marek will ask him about his opinion
• What about BEACON_ROOTS_ADDRESS?
  Will we have the same address or a different one?
  We should be able to create it at the same address
  Worst case we can just hardcode it in the genesis file (ideally CREATE2 though)
  Guillaume asked Matt
  Might rely on a dependency on EF, in which case we can just make the address configurable and deploy it with our own keys
• Are legacy transactions disabled?
  Might still be enabled in Erigon, but not in Geth and Nethermind?
  Andrew will check
  Geth disabled legacy transactions (without chain id) in the transaction pool, but still accepts them in the block
