🧵The Besu team wants to make sure our users are confident in the client and it's EVM. Engineering efforts @Hedera have significantly improved the EVM performance over the past two years. Measured in MegaGasPerSecond. We are continuously improving.

- Today, a MEV relay posted 9 invalid blocks that were finalized on Mainnet. All execution clients invalidated the blocks, saving us from disaster. But MEV blocks still make up the vast majority of blocks on chain & can censor Ethereum users🚫 Enter Besu & its layered tx pool 🧵
- 🚨Attention Mainnet users 🚨 A recent Mainnet block triggered a bug in Besu’s state database. If you are validating with Besu, please review the latest hotfix patch notes. They have details on how to get your node up and running:
- 📢 On January 6th, many Besu Mainnet nodes experienced a halt. This was triggered by an edge case in Bonsai and was rectified in 12 hours by our team with huge support from the community and node operators. 🦾 Here is the post-mortem breakdown: wiki.hyperledger.org/pages/viewpage… 🧵(0/n)
- Hi everyone, we’ve released Besu version 22.7.4. This is a STRONGLY recommended update for all on Mainnet. This release corrects a recently introduced memory leak. For more details, please see:
- Hi everyone, we’ve released Besu version 22.7.3. This is a STRONGLY recommended update for all on Mainnet with fixes for empty block proposals & performance improvements to address missing attestations (& a lot more, check out the release notes below):
- There has never been a better (and safer) time to switch to a #minorityClient! 🧵 Minority client users are still impacted by client bugs/halts like Besu's on Jan 6th and @nethermind's Jan 21 consensus issue. However, their stakes are insulated from the worst of slashing risk
- 📣 Besu Release 24.3.0 is now available 🚨 Besu is Dencun Ready!! The Dencun upgrade activates on Mainnet on March 13th! If you run a Besu node on Mainnet, you will need to update to at least version 24.1.2 to follow the chain after this date! More release details below 🧵
- 🏃💨 Since the Merge, the #Besu team has been hard at work on performance. Inside & out, we have tweaked the client from the database, to the EVM, to the transaction pool. Our focus has been on improving proof of stake rewards (& enabling more users) by reducing system req's 🧵
- Replying to @0xdougThese numbers are unfortunately out of context. On typical staking hardware, Besu has no problem at 40 and even 60m gas in current Ethereum slot times.
- 📣 Besu Release 24.1.2 is now available 🚨 Besu is Dencun Ready!! This is the minimum version that is required for the upcoming Ethereum Mainnet Dencun upgrade on March 13th. You must upgrade to this version (or greater) before then, or your will no longer follow the chain.
- Sepolia has forked 🍴Next-level Ethereum scaling on the way 🚀 Besu performing well, with full proposals and blobs are flying! Kudos to the maintainers and #Ethereum client teams 🎉 Next stop Holesky on the 7th of February
- Hi everyone - a note from the Besu team on our upcoming release targeting Mainnet issues post-Merge (22.7.3): discord.com/channels/90519…
