It was a big few days at DSS for the Sigma Prime team. Proud to once again support this event as a sponsor and see our team contributing on stage. Shoutout to @ethzed, @kirkthebaird, @TheKnapsy, and @ToonVH_
Great sessions. If you missed them or want to rewatch, recordings below 🍿
Introducting: The Lab
We've rebuilt our Ethereum network visualization tool from scratch to make verifying networks simple and accessible.
Featuring:
- Modern design
- Curated data views that can't be found elsewhere
🧵 1/5
Lighthouse v8.0.0 is here!
This version supports the upcoming Fusaka fork on mainnet, which will occur at 2025-12-03 09:49pm UTC. Upgrade your node before the fork.
More blobs are coming 🎉
See release notes for details and upgrade instructions:

Anchor is live on Ethereum mainnet 🎉 Built in Rust by Sigma Prime, Anchor becomes the second client for the SSV Network, which secures 14% of all mainnet validators.
4/ We’ve been cooking this one for a while, so if you’re running a validator on SSV or just want to learn more, check it out below.

Ethereum hard forks can silently change smart contract behavior.
At DSS, Toon Van Hove, Security Engineer at @sigp_io, explains how recent and upcoming forks like Pectra and Fusaka reshape security assumptions and what developers must know to stay safe.
Ever stared at 500k+ lines of blockchain node code wondering where to even start? We've been there. Reviewing core node implementations can be particularly challenging due to their complexity and scale.
@sigp_io just released the mainnet version of their @ssv_network DVT client — what a milestone!
Super happy to have @AgeManning and @ethzed along for this crazy adventure! 🚀
See you all at 10M staked ETH :)

Think implementing nonces is simple? Think again.
Whether you're building onchain protocols or offchain infrastructure, proper nonce implementation is one of the trickiest parts of cryptographic security.
Let's dive into why replay protection is harder than it looks 👇
🔬 Thread: Why the @boundless_xyz zkVM approach to Ethereum consensus verification matters (and the security challenges we found)
Traditional cross-chain bridges require trust assumptions. "The Signal: Ethereum" by Boundless eliminates this through cryptographic proofs, but the devil's in the details...
Common Vulnerabilities: Oracles and Pricing
In this article we explore common missteps that can occur when making use of Oracles and pricing feeds in smart contracts, and steps that can be taken to mitigate these issues.
The Ethereum network has just enabled validator consolidations.
If you're running a Lighthouse VC, you can consolidate in just a few clicks with our UI, Siren 😏
Ever wondered how sharding and cross-contract calls work on @NEARProtocol ?
In our latest blog post, we break down the technical details and explore their implications for scalability and security.

We're honoured to join the @eigencloud Protocol Council and strengthen our collaboration with the @eigenfoundation to help secure the protocol and foster its growth.
Looking forward to contributing to this important governance journey!
