The EF is worked up to announce the outcomes of the Medalla data challenge, a knowledge hackathon targeted on the Medalla testnet ✨
The immediate was open-ended: we requested for knowledge instruments, visualizations, and analyses of testnet knowledge; in brief, something that will assist the group make sense of all the information.

Prizes are divided into three tiers primarily based on scope, extensibility, and usefulness to the group.

Wanting ahead
The goals of this contest have been to welcome new minds into the Ethereum group, encourage them to pore over eth2 knowledge, make it simpler to parse and analyse, and supply beneficial insights to each builders and the group at massive. To that finish, the competitors has been an excellent success, and we suspect that lots of the instruments and analyses produced will likely be helpful as mainnet goes reside.
Should you’re fascinated about choosing up the place any of those submissions left off, please contemplate making use of for a staking community grant!
