Calling all Ethereans, data scientists, data engineers, data visualizers, developers, and anyone interested in digging into Ethereum data!
The Merge is coming, providing a more secure and sustainable home for Ethereum—as well as more data, lots and lots of data. And the Ethereum community needs your help to make sense of it all.
What new visualizations help provide insight into proof-of-stake Ethereum?
How do the consensus layer and execution layer interact? Are there differences across client pairs in communication patterns, efficiency, etc? Are there good places to optimize?
What, if anything, changed on the network at the point of The Merge—block propagation times, p2p connections, transaction mempool performance, etc?
Did The Merge affect core Beacon Chain activity—attestation performance, blocks missed, sync committees?
Did user activity noticeably change after the Merge? What about MEV?
What new tools can you build to collect and analyze data in the post-Merge network?
The challenge
Document your best Merge data insights in the most readable blog post possible—for prizes!
The Ethereum Foundation is running this challenge because there’s a lot to learn and discover from the Merge mainnet activity. Your findings will give the Ethereum community – from beginners to researchers and client developers – important insight into the Merge.
Get started now if you want to gather date from both before and after the big event!
How to submit
Anyone is free to submit, here’s how:
Collect and analyze Merge data
Either with existing tools
Or for the extra ambitious, build your own tool and tell us about it!
Detail out your work in a blog post.
