Temporarily unlocking the channel for everyone to be able to post because the process for joining channels still seems kind of unclear / difficult and it would be nice for new stakers to be able to post. There wasn't a lot of bot spam before, anyway. Preferences?

It's en vogue to lampoon the ETH/BTC ratio but nobody wants to compare solo staking ETH performance to BTC performance (inclusive of the historical airdrops solo stakers/Rocketpool operators have received). Solo staking blows BTC out of the water and it's not even close. Maybe there will be 0 total airdrops in the future, but then consider /eigenlayer.

The Node Operator hub is having a raffle each day with a bunch of prizes from Grid+. You only need to bring and run your own node on Ethereum or remote in your machine to get in.

Listening to @justindrake on the @bankless podcast. It sounds to me that people fading the ~3% APY staking returns are underestimating / not seeing the potential value accrual for validators also becoming based sequencers for L2s in the future. I’m not sure what the hardware and slashing requirements will be on top of regular attesting/proposing duties as they exist today. But it sounds like the window of opportunity to load up on reasonably-priced ETH before the based rollups become reality is closing up fast. NFA

Home operatoooooors! Rhino Review #28 is out! You can find more content about running a node with low-spec devices! Devcon is just around the corner and there are quite useful events, talks, and panels for home operators. I’ll try to attend all of them and share my observations here. I made some changes to the newsletter format and will give more space to content that directly related home operators. This way, we can move forward without losing our focus. cheers!

Finally, a way to monitor my 100K validators in one place! Joke aside, beaconcha.in is the absolute GOAT. It’s free, helpful, intuitive, and they keep improving it. They deserve a lot of love https://x.com/beaconcha_in/status/1853453247559680433

Idea: Protecting Your Validator from Attacks During Block Proposal to Prevent MEV Theft Recently, I read a paper on validator deanonymization (linked in the last comment). TL;DR: An attacker could find the IP address used by your validator. Then, when you're about to propose a block with significant MEV (Miner Extractable Value), the attacker can launch a cheap DoS (Denial of Service) attack on your internet connection. You would miss the opportunity to propose a block. The attacker would then DoS the next validator and repeat this until their validator is selected. This would allow them to propose a block, essentially stealing your winning lottery ticket and grabbing all the MEV.

Just discovered Super OETH. As always, the yield looks juicy. But is it worth the additional risk? https://www.originprotocol.com/super-oeth-live-on-base
