Have some enjoyable bulletins for y’all this week 🙂
Aside from the gadgets beneath, shopper groups proceed to maneuver towards manufacturing. Extra on that subsequent week!

Least Authority Section 0 audit full
As mentioned many months in the past, we engaged with Least Authority to conduct a full audit of the Section 0 specs. The audit was complete with a deep have a look at potential DoS assaults, misuse of assets, unintended forks/chains, and assaults impacting funds.
The audit is now full and available for public review 🎉.
The Least Authority audit helped us patch a couple of DoS vectors in gossip messages with further validation situations (Points A & B), highlighted a identified concern in regards to the public block proposer chief election (Points C & D), and spurred additional investigation into potential DoS assaults utilizing libp2p gossipsub management messages (Situation G).
Past these concrete points, the audit made some solutions for cleansing up the p2p spec, investigating strategies for tightening up gossip, and getting the core consensus papers/proofs peer reviewed.
An enormous thanks to Least Authority. It was a pleasure to work with their many auditors on this venture!
Section 0 Pre-Launch Bounty Program
We’re excited to announce the Phase 0 Pre-Launch Bounty Program!
This program is designed to incentivize you (rewards as much as $10k!) to seek out and report bugs within the core Eth2 Section 0 specs previous to mainnet launch 🐛.
The Ethereum Basis will run this program from now till simply previous to the Section 0 mainnet launch. After Section 0 is in manufacturing, we’ll transition Section 0 bounties to the usual Ethereum Bounty Program.

Unification of eth1+eth2 communications
One thing magical has been taking place since deVcon in Osaka. Underneath the wrangling of Piper, the imprecise eth1x analysis initiative has blossomed into the Stateless Ethereum motion with a concrete roadmap and large participation throughout the ecosystem.
This motion is complementary to the eth2 scaling efforts, and the analysis, specs, growth, and dialog of each eth1+eth2 more and more overlap. To help on this collaborative effort driving the way forward for Ethereum, eth1+eth2 communications have been lately merged into the Eth R&D discord server
Join us! You are welcome to lurk, ask questions, suggest new sync protocols, prototype the eth1+eth2 unification, optimize witnesses, or in any other case simply maintain up to the mark on the way forward for the Ethereum protocol 🚀
