According to PANews, Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy Digital, shared an update on the Ethereum Holesky testnet via the X platform. Developers convened on Friday to discuss implementing significant penalties and expediting the exit of inactive validators. However, there appears to be a shortage of active validators on the testnet, leading to a lack of confidence in advancing the plan. Consequently, developers decided to extend the timeframe over the weekend to allow more active validators to join Holesky, with a coordinated penalty action planned by Monday at the latest. Participants running Holesky validators are urged to bring them online promptly and remove their slashing protection database. Additionally, during the Holesky event, another vulnerability affecting the Geth and Nethermind clients was reported through the Pectra audit competition. It is important to note that this issue is unrelated to the previously reported deposit contract address misconfiguration vulnerability.
