Applications are open for the Merge Data Challenge 2022. Calling all Ethereans, data scientists, data engineers, data visualizers, developers, and anyone interested in digging into Ethereum data.
The Merge is coming, providing a more secure and sustainable home for Ethereum as well as more data, lots and lots of data. And the Ethereum community needs your help to make sense of it all.
- What new visualizations help provide insight into proof-of-stake Ethereum?
- How do the consensus layer and execution layer interact? Are there differences across client pairs in communication patterns, efficiency, etc? Are there good places to optimize?
- What, if anything, changed on the network at the point of The Merge—block propagation times, p2p connections, transaction mempool performance, etc?
- Did The Merge affect core Beacon Chain activity—attestation performance, blocks missed, sync committees?
- Did user activity noticeably change after the Merge? What about MEV?
- What new tools can you build to collect and analyze data in the post-Merge network?
