He said old testnets end up being a problem for clients and node operators because it takes more time and space to sync. The Sepolia testnet addressed the supply issue by using a mintable ERC20 token for its beacon chain, instead of sepETH. This allowed validators to effectively mint SepETH, post-Shapella, and solve the supply issue.

Unfortunately, Sepolia isn’t open to permisionless validators, but Goerli is. The Goerli uses the Ethereum client GoETH for its beacon chain. So, over the past few months, an effort has started to create recurring ephemeral testnets for stakers and shadow forks to quickly test upgrades without running a testnet.

Therefore, before Holli testnet launch, Ethereum developers plan to get application developers easy access to testnet ETH tokens. Testnets help three distinct groups of users: client developers, application developers, and node operators/stakers/miners. However, the needs of each group are quite diverse.

Tim Beiko gave two suggestions to solve the problems. First, add each ETH address where the contract is deployed on the mainnet, Goerli, or Sepolia to the genesis file. Second, coordinate with major contract and infrastructure developers to launch on the network shortly after genesis.

Tim Beiko is currently seeking input from application layer developers on how to resolve this issue. Moreover, the name “Holli” is not final, it could be changed to Holesky or Holesovice.

Meanwhile, Ethereum prepares to enable the withdrawal of Ethereum staked on the Beacon chain with the Shanghai upgrade in March. Ethereum price currently trades at $1,653.

Bitcoin skeptic Charles Schwab bank deposits down 30% YoY, while BTC is up 50%

Image
The Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE: SCHW)  is among the most affected financial firms facing a drop in customer deposits due to the increased interest rate environment in the United States, according to its Q3 2023 report. This presents a real challenge for a company that relies primarily on clients’ uninvested cash to fund its interest-earning businesses. Charles Schwab’s consumer bank deposits tumbled 28% year-over-year (YoY), causing its net interest revenue to drop 23.5% in the third quarter, which also negatively affected its quarterly revenue of $4.61 billion (-16.2% from Q2). A recent post on X (Twitter) by the event-driven trader Gurgavin Chandhoke highlights Charles Schwab as the financial company with more accumulated losses in bank deposits since Q3 2022. BANK DEPOSITS OVER THE LAST 1 YEAR BMO UP 21% AMERICAN EXPRESS 20% SCOTIABANK UP 9% CIBC UP 4% RBC UP 3% JP MORGAN DOWN 1.2% CITI DOWN 2.5% GOLDMAN DOWN 2.5% TD DOWN 2.6% BANK OF AMERICA DOWN 3% WELLS FARGO D...
