🚀 Ethereum Developers Delay Public Testnet Upgrade Due To Bug

According to Odaily, Ethereum developers have decided to postpone the public testnet upgrade timeline following the discovery of a new consensus bug in Pectra Devnet 5, which affected the Nethermind client. The Nethermind team has addressed the bug, caused by BLS precompile optimization, ensuring it will not impact the launch of Devnet 6. Developers plan to revisit the testnet upgrade schedule in the upcoming ACD meeting next week.

Additionally, the meeting highlighted a security vulnerability affecting the Geth client, which could impact Ethereum's peer-to-peer layer and Layer-2 scaling solutions. Nodes running Geth version 1.14 and above are advised to update to the latest version immediately.

The Pectra upgrade schedule is as follows:

- Week of February 3: Launch of Devnet 6

- February 6 (Thursday): Next ACD meeting to decide on Holesky and Sepolia testnet upgrade timelines

- February 10-11 (Monday or Tuesday): Official announcement of testnet upgrades

- Around February 19: Holesky testnet upgrade

- February 20: Developer meeting to determine Ethereum mainnet upgrade timing

- Around February 26: Sepolia testnet upgrade (planned approximately one week after Holesky upgrade)

- February 27-28: Release of the final version of the mainnet upgrade

- Mid-March: Ethereum mainnet upgrade

🚀 Ethereum Developers Address Holesky Testnet Validator Issues

According to PANews, Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy Digital, shared an update on the Ethereum Holesky testnet via the X platform. Developers convened on Friday to discuss implementing significant penalties and expediting the exit of inactive validators. However, there appears to be a shortage of active validators on the testnet, leading to a lack of confidence in advancing the plan. Consequently, developers decided to extend the timeframe over the weekend to allow more active validators to join Holesky, with a coordinated penalty action planned by Monday at the latest. Participants running Holesky validators are urged to bring them online promptly and remove their slashing protection database. Additionally, during the Holesky event, another vulnerability affecting the Geth and Nethermind clients was reported through the Pectra audit competition. It is important to note that this issue is unrelated to the previously reported deposit contract address misconfiguration vulnerability.
