Anyone know anyone at Coingecko? Seems like API requests have started failing to their market data endpoint from ratiogang.com. From what I can tell from their docs it doesn't seem like their API limits have changed.
In the mean time, here's a partial re-write I've been working on for fun that's framework-less (wanted the experience). Uses a new library called ArrowJS (arrow-js.com) that's just 3 functions to add reactivity to otherwise native JavaScript as opposed to a large framework like Vue or React.
I discovered a bug in Lodestar that causes it to fail to preserve queued BLS-to-execution messages on shutdown.
The Blockswap folks have released their Proof of Neutrality relay on Goerli and provided some documentation. I've been following their project for a while, the ideas are interesting. If it works, it's actually quite a large step forward in terms of PBS design. They claim relays cannot see the contents of blocks, there's a MEV smoothing pool built in, and (like the optimistic submissions being deployed by the ultra sound relay and elsewhere) relays don't have to perform validation before sending a block on. Builders instead post collateral to be used in case they try anything funny.
I don't find their documentation to be very complete (or even accurate?), and their recently-published GitHub repos contains a fork of mev-boost-relay without attribution to Flashbots or a proper commit history. And the actual meat of the system, centered around Restrictive Partially Blind Signatures, is closed source and undocumented so far. It's also concerning that their proposer guide has you input your keystore.json and enter your password (?!). They've confirmed to me that it's only used locally (not uploaded) to prove that you control the validators you're registering, but this is not the way to do it.

Decentralized identities is the only way. Soul bound tokens coupled with DIDs (for example https://github.com/uport-project/ethr-did). Then any institution can issue DIDs to Ethereum addresses in the form of SBTs and then you basically have addresses with verifiable real world identities. For example, your employer, government, or even services like Google can become identity issuers, and the more an address has, the more trustworthy it is.
