Prysmatic Labs, a company created to solve the issues of Ethereum’s scalability, released a new report on the Ethereum 2.0 development as well as fresh updates. In the report, the new modifications were talked about in detail along with new stages that are meant to reduce the difficulty regarding further development of the blockchain technology.

According to the report, on November 21, the revision of prism nodes was finalized. As a result, incoming variations were rejected. After a while, the Prysmatic Labs team also faced an issue regarding fork choices, this lead to a conflict of ideas on the right finalized checkpoint.

After this, the employees made a decision to write a code in order to locate the bad node and, by using different techniques finally narrowed down the issue at hand. Based on the report, employees also upgraded the block processing time by diminishing issues in the database.

The team claimed that currently a laptop can sync from 50 to 60 blocks in a second on their network, hence, the database size decreased to 600 MB in combination with additional features.  What this means is that it’s now possible to sync 150,000 blocks per hour to the head block.

As stated in the report, during the last couple of weeks, other new features were also added to the testnet. Now it is possible to filter through active validators and see whether an epoch is finalized or not. On the other hand, another new feature allows users to directly filter through genesis data.

In addition, under the ‘upcoming’ section the team mentioned that they will focus on integration of Slasher with the Beacon Node as well as improving the Person To Person (P2P)  network by enhancing the connection manager to have a hard limit on peers.
