- After a bumpy ride on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets, an unknown attacker mined empty blocks, adding to the chaos.
- Enter Hoodi, the new testnet, launching March 17, with hopes to smooth out the wrinkles before hitting the mainnet by April 25.
- Developers are exhausted but optimistic, tackling issues like RAM overload with fewer validators.
- Despite challenges, Ethereum's broader progress shines, with gas fees dropping by 95% post-Dencun upgrade.
