We have a big announcement! We're switching over 3000 of our validators from geth to @nethermind to protect Ethereum's health. Here's a breakdown of why ⬇️

We are a research and software engineering company, empowering enterprises and developers worldwide to build on decentralized systems.

Do Good, Do Well. We staked 100,000 ETH to empower public good projects and our community. Planning big things in /octant | discord.gg/octant | guild.xyz/octant

That's why we MUST support client diversity! 

It's about Ethereum's security & the safety of our 100,000+ $ETH stake powering Octant's sustainable public goods funding and $GLM community rewards.

A MAJOR thank you to all Ethereum client teams! Your work is vital. A special thanks to the Geth team for their amazing client + contribution to Eth’s success. 

We’re switching solely bcz it’s imp to mitigate the supermajority risk + improve overall network resilience. It’s about balance.

Many of us here are aware that client dominance is a threat. In both consensus & execution layers, if any client holds >66.6%, consequences could be dire: loss of finality, chain splits, and massive financial losses for node operators.

If we didn't and a critical bug took place, we have no one to blame but ourselves...

Thank you for supporting client diversity!
