Month 2025-05: Implemented Ethrex client integration in the Hive testing framework, introducing a Dockerfile for building the Ethrex client, startup scripts for node initialization and enode retrieval, and a JSON genesis-state mapper to configure test scenarios. These changes enable end-to-end Ethrex testing within Hive, boosting test coverage and reducing integration risk. No major bugs fixed this month; minor CI adjustments were completed to accommodate the new workflow. Demonstrated technologies include Dockerized builds, lifecycle scripting, and JSON-based configuration, driving faster validation of Ethereum client features and improved reliability in production rollouts.
