3/13/2025This write up will help you understand the initial distribution of validators among the new hoodi testnet. This testnet will launch in case we decide to do plan A of this writeup. Given: Ethpandaops controls 33% of the validators. The remaining 67% should be split among:11 client teams (each with approx. the same share). 5 staking operators (each with a slightly smaller share). Total staked ETH: At least 20M ETH. Each validator balance: Between 32 ETH and 2048 ETH.
3/12/2025The Problem Currently we have sepolia, a closed validator set testnet. This network enables application developers to test their applications in a closed environment. This network is not optimal for validators as they can't make deposits. We have holesky, which in it current state is not really suitable for testing validator related features. Due to the recent unfinality event, and the fact that the exit queue is full for the next ~1.5 years, full validator lifecycle tests are not possible. Consolidations rely on the exit queue as well, so this feature is currently untestable. We propose a few different plan options that the public,client teams,application developers,staking pools should consider. We would like to hear the feedback from everyone. Plan A: Plan for the future new testnet We are currently investigating the possibility of creating a new testnet, which will be more suitable for validators. This network could be big enough to enable consolidations but would not be too large so as to be expensive for each client team to run.
