Vitalik published "Digital minimalism", on using digital technology intentionally; for example, he has not left X the platform but posts through the Firefly multi-client instead. LambdaClass released ethlambda v1.0.0, a Lean Ethereum consensus client, which together with Gattaca's Silver, announced on October 29, makes two new consensus clients in a week. EIP-8141 fixed its transaction nonce check boundary. In the aftermath of the Binance incident, SEAL described how incident response has to be coordinated within minutes.

Ladislaus0x: back-to-back consensus client announcements are rare, Silver yesterday and ethlambda today, 02:23; trent_vanepps: two new consensus clients in one week, and the lambda team is also exploring bundling its EL and CL into a single client, 21:58.
