Jul 1, 2026July 2026: Key features and architecture changes for Consensys/teku. Delivered a new block slot resolution fallback interface for gossip-validated data to improve data availability, with updates to the chain data client and sampler and comprehensive unit tests. Fixed a major reliability issue by relaxing execution payload bid validation to ignore fee recipient mismatches, reducing false bid rejections and updating tests. Removed legacy Eth1/PoW deposit-log fetching and simplified PowchainService, enforcing an initial anchor state for node startup, eliminating Web3j dependencies and aligning deposits with in-protocol (EIP-6110) deposits. Impact: higher data availability, more robust bid handling, streamlined startup, and decreased maintenance risk. Technologies demonstrated: Java-based interface design, extensive unit testing, data availability patterns, and protocol cleanup aligned with EIP-6110.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 achievements for Consensys/teku include delivering two major features, implementing safeguards for milestone activation, and stabilizing tests, all while maintaining code quality and a clear deprecation path. Key features introduced: Epoch-based Proposer Duties API v2, and Execution Payload Bids API endpoint, with v1 deprecated. Also added Deneb safeguards for Fulu milestone to ensure activation only under correct epoch retention. A race condition in BeaconBlocksByRange tests was resolved to improve reliability. These efforts translate to stronger validator operations, broader API capabilities for bid workflows, safer feature rollouts, and a more maintainable codebase.
