Ethereum patches Glamsterdam bug that could have diverted staking deposits to builders

  • —The bug arose when a builder and validator shared a public key, crediting both deposits to the builder
  • —The fix was rejected Oct. 19 and merged after further review and tests on Oct. 23
  • —New rules sort pending deposits by withdrawal credentials, keeping validator funds with validators
  • —Glamsterdam's Oct. 26 launch on the Hoodi testnet was postponed; no mainnet date is set
Why it matters: The flaw could have affected Lido, Origin and Rocket Pool; client teams must ship the fix before mainnet.
