Rhino Review Ethereum Staking Journal #29

Devcon 7 Review, Incidents and Slashing Party

Heya home operatooooors!

Last month, I attended Devcon 7 in Bangkok and had the chance to meet many great home operators. The Home Operator Hub organized by EthStaker has become the community's knowledge source for Ethereum staking and node operations. A very friendly culture is emerging where people don't hesitate to share their knowledge, genuinely nurturing and diversifying the Ethereum culture. It's a great joy to witness and contribute to this culture.
