The unsung heroes of Ethereum are the people behind testing and DevOps (like @ethPandaOps and @elbuenmayini ). People are drawn to shiny things—new research, the next big idea—but often take the backbone of Ethereum for granted. Prysm encountered consensus edge cases in both Mekong and Devnet5 that could have caused a fork on mainnet if left unnoticed. These tricky edge cases are typically caught only through tireless effort of those dedicated to breaking things. Next time you see someone from Ethereum DevOps or testing team, don’t forget to say thank you—and maybe buy them a beer

- Setting the gas limit is possible with the `--suggested-gas-limit` validator flag, not the proposer settings flag
- Update to Prysm v5.1.3 (ETA: upcoming week) to avoid proposing a local block instead of an MEV-Boost block

Over the past 90 minutes, we’ve seen 40 invalid blocks from the mev-boost pipeline. The root cause is still unknown, but all relayer and builder teams have been alerted. Client teams are engaged and providing support in every way they can. If anyone has insights or details about the issue, please share!

I wrote up some preliminary results on Prysm and Geth using the "get-blobs" optimization: https://t.co/9b9BBfUSFT
Summary:
- Good hit rate on retrieving blobs from the EL mempool
- Good reduction in block import time
- Observed fewer p2p msgs over the wire
- Reduced download bandwidth, but upload increased. Results still inconclusive due to network asymmetric as few nodes are running.
See report for more details.
