Remarks

Used the following args.yaml file for the ethpandas optimism kurtosis package:

optimism_package:
  participants:
    - el_type: op-nethermind
      el_image: emlautarom1/op-nethermind
    - el_type: op-nethermind
      cl_type: op-node

The emlautarom1/op-nethermind image was built locally from this PRs branch using

docker build -t emlautarom1/op-nethermind -f Dockerfile .

Note that the Dockerfile.chiseled version does not work in this scenario.
