Introduction

As the Ethereum community continues to evolve and grow, the need for a robust and secure network has become increasingly important. To achieve this, the Ethereum EL/CL client teams have been asked to commit to a number of validators they are willing to run at genesis for Hoodi. In this article, we will delve into the details of this commitment and what it means for the Ethereum community.

Commitment Details

The total validator size will be 1,000,000 validators, each with a 32 ETH balance, similar to the mainnet. This is a significant undertaking, and the commitment to run a genesis validator is crucial for the success of the Ethereum network. The commitment is as follows:

Ethpandaops: Controls 33% of the validators.
Client Teams: The remaining 67% should be split among 11 client teams, each with an approximate share.
Staking Operators: The remaining 67% should also be split among 9 staking operators, each with a slightly smaller share.
