# Eth2 Call 2020/09/17

*Herman will be taking the call, thanks Herman!*

## Client Update

- **Two new team members joining us**
- Sean and Herman.
- (Progress on the) **Standard HTTP API**
- All endpoints (beacon, debug, config, and validator) implemented and tested.
- With this new API, we're running 256 validators.
- Doing well, so far.
- (There will be a) **Code Freeze** for audits
- In the first week of October.
- For these audits, we will be implementing the _short-cut_ method of weak subjectivity, _where_ we start from genesis and wipe the database _if_ the weak subjectivity point is violated.
- We intend, however, to refactor and support the more user-friendly forwards/backwards syncing in the medium-term.
- New **v0.3.0 version**
- Including breaking changes to the database, CLI and API.
- Now, it will include, of course the standard HTTP API.
- ETA for this new version is two weeks.
- Meanwhile, our current v0.2.x version will only be updated with critical fixes from this point.
- (Also, let me tell you about the) **Remote signer implementation**
- Which will allow a central server to hold all your keys and perform the signing of objects remotely. A functionality useful for staking as a service platforms, as well as users wanting to add an extra layer of controls to their private keys.
- (And we are) **Upgrading our discovery protocol to discv5.1**
- Not ready yet, but soooon, maybe less than a week.
- (Finally) **Improving our sync protocol**
- To be more resilient to periods of non-finality and improve the speed of syncing.
