The Merge series (part 2): Rewards
Part 2 of a 3 part blog post series on the Ethereum Merge. In this post, we dive deep into validator rewards, as evidenced on-chain in the 90 days around The Merge and supplemented by off-chain sources such as data from MEV relays.
The Merge series (part 1): Performance
Part 1 of a 3 part blog post series, on some of the most interesting observations we were able to surface from our data, around The Merge. In this post, we dive deep in validator performance in the 90 days around The Merge.
