Call Info
Hello everyone from the weekly Gnosis Core Devs Call. This meeting is repeated on Wednesday every week. Watch on Gnosis Chain YouTube
Participants: Erigon, Gateway, Nethermind, Gnosis DevOps, Gnosis Core Devs, Gnosis Comms team and the contributors.
Topics:
Shanghai upgrades details from Nethermind
RPC updates from Gateway
Suggestion from Stefan: Increase base fee to 1GWEI?
Let's take a look at the core devs call updates.
Erigon
Chiado: Might be finished this month
Mainnet: Erigon got stuck while syncing mainnet twice, reboot helped
Also affects other networks
Not seen in 2.36.1 yet
Work going on for withdrawals (for Ethereum mainnet)
We should review the specs for Gnosis when everyone is back, because there’s some new context
Gateway
Launched archival RPC (Gnosis mainnet)
Will launch a website with the new public RPC
Launching checkpoint sync for Chiado (probably today)
Fixed an issue with the rate limiter that was too eager
Looking into looking a bridge validator on Chiado, and then on mainnet
Waiting for Giacomo to accept traffic on the RPC
Nethermind
Implementation for withdrawals on Gnosis (and mainnet)
Only missing part is the smart contract used for withdrawals
Stefan: Ihor will write the contracts (WIP, ETA: 1 month)
Stefan: Increase base fee to 1GWEI? Allows us to make constant spamming very costly. Currently it is too cheap.
Current base fee: 7 wei -> extremely cheap to spam the network for a long time
Increasing the base fee to 1 gwei would make it expensive to spam the network even for 10 minutes
Would require a simple hard fork, which could be included in another hard fork
Jorge (Nethermind)No strong opinion
The computation limit is bound by the gas limit anyways
Sustained loads would increase the gas price exponentially as per EIP-1559
On Chiado, a spam of 30 - 60 minutes increased the base fee to hundreds of gwei
The main idea is to prevent nefarious actors to put relevant transactions on hold for some time, which would degrade user experience
Gnosis DevOps
Chiado RPC routing implemented (testing with Gateway), then mainnet
2 Chiado long-term bootnodes
Update configs
