While Spadina is now functioning well and reaching a conclusion, the launch was not as seamless as it could have been. Validator engagement began very low, and it took approximately 70 epochs (nearly 8 hours) to attain the 2\/3 participation benchmark essential for the chain to finalize. Since that moment, however, the chain has proven to be notably stable.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Initially, we believed this early finality deficiency was attributed to validators only staking testnet ETH, which means there were no significant disincentives for not enabling your node in time for genesis. However, it soon became evident that, although this was a contributing factor, there were several errors near the edges of the stack concerning client release and configuration.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">A side note on client diversity &#8212; Spadina had a significant bias towards the Prysm client which faced a <!-- --><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-ug8vf0\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1pn9giIODBUCpgImZRPR34RbF-jAp1W4xTT_8gdcKFCw\/edit#\">critical peering issue<!-- --><\/a> at genesis. At this juncture, there are <!-- --><strong>numerous<!-- --><\/strong> strong eth2 clients. If we can attain a better distribution for mainnet, singular client issues, such as those observed on Spadina, will exert a considerably lesser overall impact on network health.<!-- --><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">If the issue was merely low initial engagement, there wouldn&#8217;t be a need for another dress rehearsal, but since numerous users encountered critical problems activating their nodes, we are choosing to attempt it again before the deposit contract is triggered and a mainnet genesis date is established. <!-- --><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Introducing Zinken<!-- --><\/em>.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"chakra-heading css-1w54o5f\" id=\"announcing-zinken\">Introducing Zinken<!-- --><\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Zinken is another eth2 testnet launch designed to provide client teams the opportunity to refine their release processes and offer validators an opportunity to experience a more seamless genesis prior to mainnet.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Ideally, Zinken is stable and finalizes right from the start. Nevertheless, the primary indicator we&#8217;re looking for is for users to face minimal difficulties configuring their nodes and joining the network. A significant portion of this depends on client teams delivering solid releases, but we also urge users to approach this genesis with seriousness.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">This entails only making deposits for validators you plan to operate, and if possible, keeping watch on the ethstaker and client team discords in the 24 hours leading up to genesis; there exists always a minimal possibility you may need to execute a last-minute configuration change or node upgrade.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><strong><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">The key details:<!-- --><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<ul role=\"list\" class=\"css-1onhfjo\">\n<li class=\"css-cvpopp\">The <!-- --><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-ug8vf0\" href=\"https:\/\/zinken.launchpad.ethereum.org\/\">Zinken Launchpad<!-- --><\/a> is operational <!-- --><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">today<!-- --><\/em>.<!-- --><\/li>\n<li class=\"css-cvpopp\">Genesis deposits should be made by <!-- --><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Thursday, October 8th at 12 UTC<!-- --><\/em>.<!-- --><\/li>\n<li class=\"css-cvpopp\">Genesis timing is anticipated to be around <!-- --><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Monday, October 12th at 12 UTC<!-- --><\/em>.<!-- --><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Please note that <!-- --><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Genesis deposits are required 4 days prior to launch<!-- --><\/em>.
