Galaxy executives call on Holesky validators to come back online as soon as possible to prepare for coordinated large-scale punitive actions

On March 3rd, Galaxy Digital's research vice president Christine Kim posted on X platform: "The latest weekend update on the Ethereum Holesky testnet status: Developers held a meeting on Friday to coordinate large-scale penalty measures and accelerate the exit of inactive validators. However, it seems that the number of active validators on the testnet is insufficient, and developers lack confidence in advancing the plan. Therefore, they have decided to give more time over the weekend for more active validators to join Holesky, and no later than Monday to coordinate a large-scale penalty action. If you are running a Holesky validator and have not yet tried to bring it back online, please do so as soon as possible and delete your slashing protection database.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that during the Holesky incident, another vulnerability affecting the Geth and Nethermind clients was reported through the Pectra audit competition. Please note that this vulnerability is unrelated to the vulnerability of misconfigured deposit contract addresses."
