ETHEREUM APP DEVS: If you want to test the Glamsterdam fork before it goes live on the testnets (Sepolia / Hoodi), devnet-7 is open for app developers to test! We are getting v close to @ethereum's Glamsterdam fork being ready to ship! Resources here:

watch Forkcast from the @EFprotocol team steadily become the canonical resource for information on @ethereum upgrades over time can you spot the peaks from the Fusaka fork being announced and then going live?

Easy-to-have-missed update to the @ethereum governance process: the "Scheduled" status has a new definition that makes it easier for you to plan for upcoming features A thread 🧵 for 1. what changed 2. why it matters for the ecosystem ↴↴↴↴↴

@LidoFinance is on the way to consolidate all curated validators to 0x02! The very first Hoodi consolidation has been completed today, kicking off a massive wave of testing. Next stop is @ethereum Mainnet. See you all in August 2026!

Upgrading Finality - Edition 1 Check out the plan for bringing fast finality to Ethereum. Hosted on the the brand new and shiny EF Protocol Consensus website 😁 Lots of good stuff there!

OK let's do this: we're weighing in on the contentious issue of $ETH's supply model TLDR: We think a change is warranted and would be bullish for $ETH longer-term The topic is a good litmus test for how people think about valuing crypto assets! Our take ⬇️⬇️

1/ We're thrilled to welcome @AztecFND as the latest project to take the 1% Pledge 🎉 1% of the AZTEC token supply has been deposited into Protocol Guild's 4-year vesting contract to support 187 Ethereum core contributors across client teams, research, and coordination

Excited to announce this evolution of Protocol, the @ethereumfndn teams stewarding, researching and developing the Ethereum protocol. After our re-launch of Protocol in June last year, @TimBeiko, @ralexstokes and I are now passing the torch to our talented colleagues @corcoranwill @kevaundray and @fredrik0x. They are taking on the task of delivering on Scaling, UX and Hardness objectives, with the protocol strawmap in their pocket ( --- It is also time to announce that I made the decision to leave the Ethereum Foundation, my home for the past 6.5 years ❤️ I am so grateful for this opportunity I had, to work with amazing individuals, on the most impactful project there is. Looking back from when I started (here it is -> it has been a wild ride from early EIP-1559 work, to the Merge, to MEV markets, to staking, finality, interoperability and UX; and from my beginnings in the Robust Incentives Group to co-leading Protocol for the past year. Over this past year, our Protocol priorities, particularly our "Improve UX" work, shifted my attention to nearer-term questions. Throughout, I've been excited to take on a more product-centric view. Making Ethereum's unique features more available to users today is on my mind; so is participating in the plurality of ways that Ethereum gets built. I'd love to hear from friends old and new about what excites them at the moment, and share where I'm at. Please reach out!

At different times a staker may want to know: - How long are the validator entry and exit queues? - How much time will it take my validator to enter or exit the active staking set? - What are the current staking rewards and how are they changing over time? - How much supply is staked? - How do the queues work? The answers to these questions and others can be found on validatorqueue[dot]com ... now with links to the specific charts for easier bookmarking and sharing! Direct links to the charts in thread ↓

Exiting ~7,000 Validators: A Case Study in Optimizing Ethereum Validator Exits In December 2025, A41 announced their decision to wind down validator operations across all networks and conclude its participation as a Lido Curated Node Operator. Contributors optimized their exit to minimise protocol reward loss under a constrained timeline. This case study presents the approach, operational execution, and lessons learned from the exit. ↓
