clientdiversity-org VS execution-specs

Alessandro said it'd be a few days before he can get me a data endpoint, but once that happens I'll have clientdiversity.org updated in a day or 2

Ethereum is the most decentralized transaction ledger in the world, with thousands of nodes distributed across the world, and more client diversity than any other blockchain that I'm aware of:

https://clientdiversity.org/

The move to Proof of Stake has also made solo validation accessible to parties other than large pools.

there are guides on https://clientdiversity.org/

Large number of nodes does not equal decentralization. In Ethereum, like all other networks/countries, power tends to consolidate. All the consensus power is consolidated to 1-2 entities.link Hedera is already far more decentralized.

Apparently that’s the case, yes: https://clientdiversity.org/ though the source says „data might not be 100% accurate“, but I guess it’s sure geth dominance is down.

Execution clients only run GETH. Client diversity isn’t even great per eth foundation: https://clientdiversity.org

10+ separate companies implement the protocol in 10 completely different independent code bases https://clientdiversity.org/

As I said this is the second time I did this "report" and asked for better sources the first time as well. In the end I did my best to find reliable sources, but even back then I really wasn't sure if these numbers are correct. And if you look at https://clientdiversity.org/ there are even two data sources you can choose that really differ... so +1 to the irony of our industry...

EIP6780 (SELFDESTRUCT only in same transaction) is planned for the Dencun upgrade. (See Cancun included EIPs https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs/blob/master/network-upgrades/mainnet-upgrades/cancun.md)

I followed the link which took me to https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs/blob/master/network-upgrades/mainnet-upgrades/shanghai.md and then I started getting a little lost on the details.

@ TimBeiko: teams felt comfortable moving forward with Goerli, which we agreed to fork on March 14, 10:25pm UTC. I've opened a PR to update the specs accordingly: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs/pull/724

Mar 01 08:37:30 computername geth[402568]: INFO [03-01|08:37:30.496] - Homestead: 1150000 (https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs/blob/master/network-upgrades/mainnet-upgrades/homestead.md)

EIP-4844 is slated for the Cancun Fork.

If you know Python you can read around the execution layer specs, namely for the EVM. Technically the "source of truth" for execution layer specs is still the yellow paper and EIPs but there's ongoing effort to turn it all into testable and executable specs. Otherwise this paper specifically goes in depth on the data structures used throughout the execution layer

You can see them here https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs/pull/633/files

EIP-4895 for staking withdrawals is the main proposal members cared about, and it was upgraded from "EIPs Considered for Inclusion" to "Included EIPs" in the latest Shanghai specs. The other 3 are just minor changes.

The following EIPs have now been upgraded from "EIPs Considered for Inclusion" to "Included EIPs" in the latest Shanghai specs.
