It's not only important — **it's critical** ::: ## Solo Staking Solo staking is the act of running an Ethereum node connected to the internet and depositing 32 ETH to activate a validator, giving you the ability to participate directly in network consensus. Solo staking increases the decentralization of the Ethereum network, making Ethereum more censorship-resistant and robust against attacks. Other staking methods may not help the network in the same ways. Solo staking is the best staking option for securing Ethereum.

Distributor-Validator-Technology (DVT) DVT is a technology primitive that allows an Ethereum PoS Validator to be run on more than one node or machine. This allows a cluster of nodes run by an individual, group, or community of operators to act together as a single validator on Ethereum. Running a validator as a cluster of nodes improves its resiliency while greatly reducing the slashing risk of honest validators, regardless of its size. This makes staking more robust and accessible for all validators.

The Beacon Chain was the name of the original proof-of-stake blockchain that was launched in 2020. It was created to ensure the proof-of-stake consensus logic was sound and sustainable before enabling it on Ethereum Mainnet. Therefore, it ran alongside the original proof-of-work Ethereum. Switching off proof-of-work and switching on proof-of-stake on Ethereum required instructing the Beacon Chain to accept transactions from the original Ethereum chain, bundle them into blocks and then organize them into a blockchain using a proof-of-stake based consensus mechanism. At the same moment, the original Ethereum clients turned off their mining, block propagation and consensus logic, handing that all over to the Beacon Chain.[*](https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/beacon-chain/#what-is-the-beacon-chain) Gnosis runs the same client software as Ethereum, with minor parameter tweaks. As such, Gnosis is a Proof-of-Stake network that uses Ethereum's Beacon Chain consensus. ### Timeline - Ethereum - [x] The Beacon Chain shipped on December 1, 2020 - [x] Bellatrix Hard-Fork September 6, 2022 - [x] Paris Hard-Fork September 14, 2022 - [x] The Merge September 15, 2022 ![](https://i.imgur.com/ReBVtnM.png) ### Timeline - Gnosis Chain - [x] The Beacon Chain shipped on December 8, 2021 - [x] Bellatrix Hard-Fork November 30, 2022 - [x] The Merge December 8, 2022 #### [HAPPY MERGE EVERYONE 🐼👉👈🐼 ](https://twitter.com/gnosischain/status/1600925552575418369) Thank you

Agnostic Relay - Enabling Bonded Optimistic Relaying

Agnostic Relay will be enabling bonded optimistic relaying very soon, using the MEV-Boost-Relay feature first introduced by the Ultra Sound Money Relay team a few months ago. This will increase relay performance for both block proposers and builders. 🏗

Gnosis Agnostic Relay

Dear Agnostic Relay users, We would like to bring to your attention that over the past few hours, the relayer experienced a technical issue which resulted in the failure of delivering block payloads and subsequent missed slots. Our team has intervened promptly and implemented a solution and we are continuing to monitor the situation. Our preliminary assessment indicates that a maximum of 22 blocks were affected, totaling approximately 7.04 ETH in rewards. In keeping with our commitment to delivering high-quality service, we will reimburse all validators for the missed slot profits in a timely manner. A full post mortem will be published within 48 hours. Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our platform. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out on our Discord 2023-02-08 Agnostic Relay missed slots postmortem Please note, the Agnostic Relay does not collect any fees. Therefore, the developers of the Agnostic Relay cannot reimbuse validators for missed slot profits. We apologize for any inconvience that this may cause you.
