ethrex took part in Soldøgn, a week-long interop in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, where just over a hundred Ethereum core contributors worked on the Glamsterdam network upgrade. It was ethrex’s first interop as a participating client.1
The week
ethrex ran on every devnet of the week: bal-devnet-4 through 6 and glamsterdam-devnet-0 through 2, picking up each spec change within hours. The team implemented FOCIL during the week for inclusion in the first FOCIL devnet. ethrex was added to benchmarkoor, the cross-client benchmark suite maintained by EthPandaOps. EthPandaOps named the team MVPs of the week.1
Next
The team discussed with the Ethereum Foundation a path for ethrex to appear on the staking Launchpad. It requires a multi-month audit by the EF’s Protocol Security team.1
