- Extensive number of trackers and visualizations together with charts with knowledge on liveness, participation, complete stake and extra
- Mobile app for monitoring eth2 validators
Sustain with bitfly on Twitter @etherchain_org or Reddit u/etherchain.
However wait, there’s extra!
- Unirep personal and non-repudiable repute system: accomplished sensible contracts, CLI and zk circuits
- MPC Phase 2 UI: accomplished design and specification; developed elements together with server, CLI and browser shopper
Extra to return subsequent month!
