eth2.0-specs VS clientdiversity-org

Eth2 beacon blocks get a "graffiti" data field, "to be used in wonderful and unpredictable ways".

Eth2.0 spec v0.6.0 "Spring Cleaning" is out.

Ethereum developers propose an increase in validator rewards for Eth 2.0 .

Eth2 Phase 0 spec v0.3 is out, named "Let There Be Liquidity", which includes a number of small feature additions/modifications, clarifications, and minor bug fixes.

Justin Drake adds a mechanism to the Eth2.0 spec for validators to transfer their balance on the beacon chain (to be removed after phase 1).

The Eth2 spec v0.2 gets out, containing a number of small feature additions/modifications, helpers, clarifications, minor bug fixes, and the introduction of a point-wise shuffle.

And finally, hard-core specs here: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs

The Ethereum 2.0 spec v0.12 "Quarantine Haircut" uses IETF's hash-to-curve draft for BLS, and is the closest version to the final Eth 2.0. release.

"offence is identified and protocol-level penalties are enacted by a “whistleblower.” The whistleblower collects evidence of the offence and commits proof(s) to a block proposer for inclusion on-chain. After Phase 0 the whistleblower will earn the majority of those rewards (seven-eighths), but in Phase 0 the block proposer earns the full reward."

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:

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...
