Rhino Review Ethereum Staking Journal #28

Devcon 7 is just around the corner!

Heya home operatooooors!

Devcon is just around the corner and there are quite useful events, talks, and panels for home operators. I’ll try to attend all of them and share my observations here.

I made some changes to the newsletter format and will give more space to content that directly related home operators. This way, we can move forward without losing our focus.

Find out the Spanish version here. Thanks to the support of the ETHKipu team!

📌 Rhino Review - Ethereum Staking Journal supported by EthStaker.
