Ethereum Network Struggles With Missed Slots, bloXroute and Lighthouse In Debate

Earlier this week, the Ethereum network experienced a main surge in neglected slots, predominantly originating from blocks relayed by bloXroute relays. Investigations published that whereas the bloXroute relays effectively published blocks and blobs, the hasty propagation of blocks by design of the BloXroute Allotted Community (BDN) stood in distinction with the slower propagation of blobs by capability of uncover-to-uncover (p2p) channels. This discrepancy highlighted a particular Client (CL) behavior, resulting in client rejection of blocks and subsequent neglected slots.
