A new testnet, Hoodi, has been launched to help wrap up Pectra testing. Stakers, this is your new testing ground 🤖 Pectra will activate on it next Wednesday. Holesky will be maintained until September. It still works to test everything, except for validator exits 🫡 https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/03/18/hoodi-holesky

oh we can absolutely optimize a lot of processes here, and indeed these processes have been getting optimized over the years - you should see e.g. how water profile macronutrients were measured in 1970 vs today. Freeze and transport samples & then days of wet chemistry back onshore in the lab vs autoanalyzers at sea & then just dump the samples. Our project kind of assumed that those jobs would eventually be replaced by things like swarm UAVs - one swarm replacing 40 scientists and 6 weeks of ship time could save hundreds of thousands of dollars every season. We're definitely on that trajectory but you can't just... axe the program entirely and replace it with nothing

holy shit, more than half of my seagoing former colleagues were just fired in the government staff cuts before going full-time in crypto, i was a marine chemist and i worked with the one of the longest-running publicly-available datasets in the world - the dataset has been going for over 75 years now. it provides an extremely valuable picture of the chemical, physical, and biological changes off the california coast whether the project survives this is in question. at minimum, we're going to have a really big gap in data that people rely on to predict weather patterns, keep fisheries operating, and generally provide readily-available data for thousands of scientists to make inferences that relate to their own research fun fact: regions like this are less than 1% of the physical space in the ocean but they produce 20% of the fish catch because of how productive they are. they're INCREDIBLY important to study and predict for being able to EAT FISH

best place to ask is either the ethstaker discord or your consensus layer client discord! a lot of the more technical experts aren't super active here

if you hate MEV and love censorship resistance as much as I do, there are opportunities for academic grants to work on related problems: https://efdn.notion.site/Academic-Grants-Round-2025-Wishlist-17bd9895554180f9a9c1e98d1eee7aec

chatgpt got some sort of update and has started responding to me in brand new chats beginning with things like "yeah" and "awesome" and it threw me. i don't think i like it. is it mirroring me?

A primer by @remyroy.eth on changes to validator mechanics from the Pectra upgrade and the included EIP-7251 (MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE increase) TL;DR: those running more than one validator of 32 ETH each will be able to combine them into a new kind of self-compounding validator with a ceiling of 2048 ETH https://github.com/eth-educators/ethstaker-guides/blob/main/docs/pectra-features.md
