Wanting ahead
The goals of this contest have been to welcome new minds into the Ethereum neighborhood, encourage them to pore over eth2 knowledge, make it simpler to parse and analyse, and supply precious insights to each builders and the neighborhood at giant. To that finish, the competitors has been an important success, and we suspect that most of the instruments and analyses produced might be helpful as mainnet goes stay.
For those who’re fascinated with selecting up the place any of those submissions left off, please think about making use of for a staking community grant!
