EthStaker Call 2020/09/10 - Medalla Data Challenge
Flyer
Wishlist
Three broad things we're looking for:
- visualization, i.e. realtime website or dashboard
- analysis, i.e. analyze some property of the network
- new tooling for getting/preparing data
Some places to get data and things to look at:
- block explorers API/scraping (i.e. beaconcha.in, blockaction)
- validator income/wealth distribution
- eth1 deposits x time
- block proposal -> inclusion funnel
- …
- http API of nodes
- client syncing comparison
- client connectivity comparison
- …
- network traffic using rumor/prrkl (https://github.com/protolambda/rumor, https://github.com/prrkl/imp)
- invalid block/attestation studies (i.e. DoS detection)
- speed of justification/finalization
- radius of network (would require multiple nodes)
- …
3 is the hardest, but also the least explored!
Misc tool ideas:
- rumor/prrkl scripts
- ansible setups for collecting specific types of data from a set of nodes
- rumor/prrkl + jupyter notebook integration
