👏 We are happy to share the first post of a series regarding Ethereum clients diversity.

🔍 Through this research work, led by Sébastien Rannou, we describe under-discussed network-scale issues that can arise with majority clients.

📚 In this first post, you'll learn about how Ethereum's consensus mechanism operates at the slot and epoch levels, ensuring network robustness and minimizing risks for validators.

🚏 Stay tuned for the second part, which will focus on the Execution layer!

We’re excited to continue our great partnership with Ledger and launch the first LST EigenLayer restaking experience with clear signing https://www.theblock.co/post/295954/kiln-enables-lst-restaking-on-eigenlayer-via-ledger-live

✌️ In this second post of our series on Ethereum client diversity, we dive into the execution-layer.

🚨 We explain how using a super-majority execution-layer client introduces the risk of all the staked collateral being burnt, without any possible course of action.

🙅‍♂️ Today, there is no super-majority execution-layer client on the Ethereum network - let’s keep it that way!

🔗 Read more on our blog and stay tuned for the final release on the Consensus layer https://www.kiln.fi/post/ethereum-client-diversity-part-2-execution-layer-diversity

🔗 EigenLayer native restaking comes with significant additional operational costs in the form of gas to be paid to upload proofs of your validator’s consensus-layer activity.

📉 We’ve found that on average 30% of ETH staking rewards are consumed in gas fees.

🚀 Good news: the EigenLayer team is working on an upgrade to this part of the system to significantly reduce these costs!

📖 Dive into this topic with our article written in collaboration with CoinShares: https://www.kiln.fi/post/the-operational-costs-of-eigenlayer-native-restaking-by-kiln-and-coinshares

📈 We achieved a gross rewards rate that is 0.10 percentage points higher than the Ethereum network average, and generated 2.79% more staking rewards.

🔐 As in previous months, Kiln experienced no slashing events in September (or at any time). Our commitment remains to safeguarding our users' assets and fostering a secure environment for all.
