We are building a staking console, meant as a modern alternative to Launchpad.
It brings batch deposits and top-ups, so you can deposit for several validators or top up existing ones in one flow instead of one at a time. Consolidations and withdrawals get a much simpler flow, no more juggling multiple tools or manual steps to combine or exit validators. It also supports WalletConnect, so you are not limited to browser extension wallets, and offline wallet support, so security-conscious stakers can sign transactions without ever connecting a wallet online.

Forkcast is shipping a steady stream of updates:
Rank page:
⇥ Click any EIP number to open its details without leaving the page.
⇥ Download your tier list as an image or copy a link to share it (thanks @casparschwa).
⇥ EIPs are now grouped into categories, to help parse the long list (thanks @nero_eth).
The last of the proposals are making their way onto the rank page now. Anyone is welcome to rank EIPs and share their tier list to contribute to the conversation and help inform what ships in Hegotá (expected 2027).
https://t.co/Z2oK12gsuk
EIP champions: add context (benefits, tradeoffs, faq, resources) to your EIP in forkcast, so reviewers can better understand and advocate for your proposal.
Also shipped: https://t.co/xRA04BZMS5 now includes Platåberget, the first public Glamsterdam testnet, and relevant @ethpandaops tooling. Global search is also live across the site.
Reach out with feedback, feature requests, or help with champion support.
ACDE #243, the next All Core Devs - Execution call, happens Today, Aug 13 at 14:00 UTC. Agenda: Glamsterdam devnet-8 readiness and newly proposed EIPs for Hegotá. Full agenda in the thread.
Hegotá's headliner is set: FOCIL (EIP-7805). It forces builders to include pending transactions from an independent committee, resisting censorship. Frame Transaction (EIP-8141) is a separate, open candidate for native account abstraction. https://t.co/NhCvsx4DqO
Enter: EthCoordinate.
tl;dr: EthCoordinate is a crypto-native organization born inside the EthStaker community, bringing together separate efforts under one umbrella to help with Ethereum governance coordination, support Forkcast, increase stakeholder engagement on proposed or upcoming EIPs and, of course, continue providing software, tooling, and technical support for home stakers.
EthStaker started in 2020 when a loosely connected group of Ethereum enthusiasts joined efforts to speed up the development of the beacon chain. The organization steadily evolved, incorporating as a 501(c)4 nonprofit and taking up initiatives around independent participants of Ethereum's consensus mechanism, aka home stakers.
Throughout the years, it has played a decisive role in coordinating the launch and operation of devnets, testnets, and mainnet hard fork upgrades; facilitating information flows and generally connecting dots that needed connecting.
This year's tectonic organizational changes in the ecosystem have opened up functional gaps in Ethereum coordination. To close these gaps and continue supporting the network, EthStaker's core members are joined by mission-aligned fresh blood to aggregate efforts under one name to produce greater results than operating independently.
EthCoordinate is a natural evolution of EthStaker; as Ethereum mainnet heads to its third radical consensus protocol change at a steady pace, it’s time for EthStaker to recalibrate around what Ethereum’s evolving community needs.
Our mission is to facilitate interaction between stakeholders of the ecosystem to accelerate the adoption of the Ethereum network and to provide continuity for governance operations.
We believe that the Ethereum mainnet is an unparalleled bedrock for the augmentation of humanity's productivity output and that ETH, the asset, is the token that aligns the incentives of all actors involved.
We stand up for our values, combining technical rigor with pragmatism for Ethereum to continue being the most accessible and credibly neutral global blockchain.
The team is 10 long-tenured Ethereum professionals and currently our main work streams are:
⇥ Maintain a high-quality venue for independent stakers to remain engaged and informed
⇥ Facilitate coordination around core protocol development and adjacencies
⇥ Develop and steward Forkcast, the most popular platform to track the research and engineering initiatives around Ethereum's core protocol
⇥ Facilitate research, discussion, and coordination around protocol economics in support of Ethereum's long-term economic health
⇥ Maintain open source tools and documentation used by participants of the consensus set
We're energized for this chapter in Ethereum coordination & our role in it.
1/ Announcing the ACD Fund: a new allocation dedicated to critical core dev roles.
Our first allocation funds @nixorokish's ACDE coordination, in partnership with @EthCoordinate (fka EthStaker).

excited to share that forkcast and i will operate under the @EthCoordinate banner 🧭
ethereum protocol development is pure journey. there are milestones to celebrate, but no destination visible on the horizon yet.
journeys are made more meaningful by the company you keep, and EthCoordinate features some of the best in the game: long-term thinkers with the right mix of integrity, ambition, and experience in the arena.
i joined because i believe forkcast, and ultimately, ethereum will flourish more as a result of our combined efforts.
i joined because ethereum's biggest bottleneck is social coordination rather than technical capability, and we're in a position to do something about it.
so lets do something about it 🫡

in particular, im excited to rejoin a couple of all-stars from the @EFprotocol team: nixo and butta. the three of us will interact most closely and focus on keeping ACD on the rails, connected to stakeholders, and operating efficiently.
@nixorokish moderates ACDE alongside ansgar and keeps many of the threads moving between meetings.
@Butta_eth is the stakeholder whisperer that played a meaningful role in driving MaxEB adoption and socializing glamsterdam's repricing impact this year.
i'll remain focused on forkcast as a neutral tracker of ethereum protocol development, and thrilled to have their support helping it better represent the state of the protocol and better serve stakeholders navigating the process.

on the issuance eip:
all i want to see is an earnest and informed debate about the long-term economic health of ethereum, and although messy, i think that's what is beginning to play out.
i understand 8363's authors to be both well-intentioned and well-qualified to make the proposal. know that they have neither the will nor ability to force a major change to the network without a broad coalition of support.
what i hope more observers can internalize is that the ability to productively navigate a contentious debate is a competitive advantage for ethereum, and a sign of health for a community.
8363 being in the inclusion stage funnel is the prompt to think critically about whether there is a looming problem to address, and if so, what to do about it and when.
note that small or large changes to 8363 can be proposed along the way; i would encourage that route for those who don't support the eip as-is, but do believe "something" should be done.
reach out if you want help navigating ACD.

finally, glamsterdam is nearly here, and there's a ton more to get hyped for in hegota.
frame transaction (8141) and eips being built on top of 8141 (see: 7906) can enable massive UX leaps - thats where i'll be spending any spare cycles. a new bi-weekly breakout call for 8141 will kick off on aug 25.
beyond that, hegota proposals include shorter slots, additional scaling, steps toward zkevm, privacy primitives, and advances in another dozen categories.
if you can't find something to get excited about in there, you've got your eyes closed.
