EPF Dev Update #2

In my last week, I have been focusing on the validator architecture of ethereum 2.0. I collected information through the links provided in my last update. For my references I created an initail document to note (will cange with revisions) the information related to validator's resposibilities, componenets & reward calculations.

I also explored the the attestation data analysis done on the testnet by Pintail to better extract the attestation performance metrics for Eth mainnet.
Few metrics Identified through by reading the article are listed below :

  • Participation trends
  • Participation statistics
    • Active/Inactive rate at X Epoch
    • Unresponsive Rate at X Epoch
  • Activation Rate
    • First Attestation delays
    • Active validators since X Epoch
  • Attestation Effectivenes
  • Attestation Accuracy
  • Validator Participation per Client

Next steps

These are a few I've listed which can be used to analyze the validator performance on Eth 2.0 for specific Epoch. However, these metrics are still incomplete and each point needs a further clearer break-down. To tackle this I will go down the following path.

  1. Breifly go over this article.
  2. Explore the tools built for chain analysis i.e chaind
  3. Update & finalize the validator document to include the identified metrics to analyze validator performance analysis.
