Ethereum client diversity data conflicts: Teku estimates range from 53% to 99%

  • Blockprint estimated Teku's share at 99.83%, Miga Labs put Lighthouse at 51.32%, and Rated showed Teku at 53.86%
  • Blockprint's classifier was deemed outdated after the Electra upgrade
  • A client bug affecting more than 33% of validators risks finality loss, while two-thirds could finalize an incorrect chain
  • The Lean-chain proposal hides links between deposits and validators using ZK proofs
Why it matters: Without reliable data on client distribution, the network cannot assess Ethereum's finality and security risks.
