| Agenda: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-pm/issues/118 | |
| —————— | |
| Nimbus: | |
| Holidays | |
| Core: | |
| - 0.9.4 in sync | |
| - 0.9.3 branch kept for fuzzing purposes | |
| Networking: | |
| - Verifying interop with go-libp2p (following the initial version of nim-libp2p 3 weeks ago) | |
| - Reworking sync strategy, inspiration from Bittorrent | |
| - Discovery v5, first PR, halfway done, trying to join Prysm/Lighthouse | |
| Tooling: | |
| - Planning a RPC endpoint for beacon node | |
| ————————— | |
| Testing and release updates | |
| v0.10: Breaking changes to facilitate phase 1 | |
| Stable target for testnet and audits | |
| Release tomorrow, maybe today | |
| Slight modification to network spec | |
| Extra configuration parameters (for phase 1) | |
| Major breaking change will be BLS | |
| Additional tests on deposits processing | |
| Q: Testing for fork choices | |
| —> Harmony test vectors, integration test | |
| https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-spec-tests/issues/17 | |
| ————————— | |
| Nimbus | |
| Artemis (Shahan) | |
| Eth1Data management and polling Eth1 clients | |
| Sync | |
| Discovery module from Harmony to be put in Artemis | |
| BeaconFuzz integration almost complete | |
| Merged the HashtoG2 curve | |
| Q: how are people syncing Eth1Data to the chain | |
| Q: for beacon-fuzz, currently 0.9.1, what are the plans to update beacon-fuzz | |
| Trinity (Hsiao Wei Wang) | |
| Beacon node and validator separation | |
| Prysm | |
| Syncing time will be a bit slower | |
| v0.9.3 on the spec | |
| optimisations on handling the deposits and Eth1Data | |
| Aggregation strategy on the testnet | |
| Lighthouse | |
| Testnet “released” on 22 Dec | |
| Docker compose to spin up node and validators | |
| Switched to BLS Herumi (not on master yet) | |
| In the process of adding the naive aggregation strategy | |
| Harmony | |
| Test vectors | |
| Dmitry + Anton on Discv5 simulations Writeup in progress on consensus (?) | |
| TXRX work | |
| Lodestar | |
| Holidays | |
| WIP, updating to 0.9.3 | |
| Refactoring SSZ to allow remerkleable (?) (abstract over Merkle Tree) | |
| https://github.com/protolambda/remerkleable | |
| Nethermind (Sly Gryphon) | |
| Validator block signing working | |
| On 0.9.1 | |
| Most of the team on Eth1 at the moment | |
| Will be moving some of the team to Eth2 | |
| ————————————— | |
| Research updates | |
| Vitalik | |
| (?) | |
| Stateless clients | |
| Justin | |
| Supranational (semiconductor?) | |
| Accelerating BLS12-381, currently 10% faster than Herumi’s | |
| Also a formal verification expert | |
| —> formally verifying the code will be difficult due to the custom compiler | |
| Factor of 1000x improvement of perf via small additional card on computers | |
| Will | |
| Eth2 call on Tuesday 14 | |
| Ganache like tool for EE on multiple shards | |
| Building a testing suite for phase2 | |
| Writeup today on state providers | |
| Leo | |
| Machine Learning EE (see Johny Rhea work) | |
| Eth Barcelona, lining up speakers, contact Leo | |
| ————————————— | |
| Networking updates | |
| Allow empty and stream responses | |
| —> will be in 0.10 | |
| Next call 2 weeks from now | |

| Vitalik: Accelerated Eth1-Eth2 switch, how do you feel about it? | |
| EthDenver: planning cowering space, tell us |
