Select your relays from our list on https://github.com/remyroy/ethstaker/blob/main/MEV-relay-list.md. You should use be using one or many of the values from the Relay URL column. Append or concatenate all those values by adding a comma (,) in between. The result should look something like https://relay1,https://relay2. We will need that value for the next step.

If your main concern is preventing bad actors, you can set your MEV relay to only be ones deemed ethical (here’s a list)

And what are the alternative/best relays? I found this list but when I try to use the first relay in there I get that sendBundle is not supported.

It's still very early, but a list of relay providers to use with MEV boost can be included. It would be fun to compare in a year on how many other relays there would be, either many more or zero because of implementation of PBS.

We are improving our MEV relay list with as much details as possible. You should be able to tell which relay is censoring or not. See https://github.com/remyroy/ethstaker/blob/main/MEV-relay-list.md

EIP4844 readiness checklist: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md

Dencun upgrade with EIP4844 is likely later this year, which will bring lower cost Layer 2 transactions. Follow the readiness of EIP4844: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md Prague + E starname upgrade is probably 2024, possibly focused on EOF, then followed by a Verkle tree focused upgrade, but none of this has been decided.

There's an EIP 4844 readiness checklist.

The live date for the Shanghai upgrade is likely to be April 12, occurring at epoch number 620,9536. This was announced during the All Core Developers Execution Layer #157 call on 16 March 2023.

On December 8, 2022, the Ethereum core team held an All Core Developers (ACD) meeting. The Ethereum team agreed to target March 2023 as the release date for Shanghai’s mainnet launch. However, this is a tentative date based on the assumption that the Zhejiang, Sepolia, and Goerli testnets are successful.

Shanghai is the next major upgrade for the Ethereum network, following the Merge in September 2022. Key highlights of what to expect include:
