PANews reported on December 14th that the Prysm team released a post-mainnet analysis, revealing that the incident occurred because Prysm beacon nodes received authentications from nodes that might be out of sync with the network. These authentications referenced the block root of the previous epoch. To verify these proofs, Prysm attempted to recreate a beacon state compatible with the out-of-sync node's view of the chain. This resulted in multiple processing of past epoch blocks and costly recalculation of epoch transitions. The vulnerability was introduced in Prysm PR 15965 and deployed to the testnet a month before the incident, but it was not triggered at that time.

During the Ethereum mainnet Fusaka session on December 4th, almost all Prysm nodes encountered resource exhaustion while attempting to process certain attestations. During this period, Prysm was unable to respond to validator requests in a timely manner, resulting in the loss of blocks and attestations. The incident affected epochs 411439 to 411480, a total of 42 epochs, with 248 blocks missing out of 1344 slots, a missing rate of approximately 18.5%. Network participation dropped to 75% at one point, and validators lost approximately 382 ETH in witness rewards.

Previously , Vitalik stated that Ethereum's occasional "loss of finality" does not pose a serious risk.

Dogecoin Rally Sparks Meme Coin Frenzy

The post Dogecoin Rally Sparks Meme Coin Frenzy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market is once again buzzing with excitement as meme coins prepare for what could be another explosive rally. Meme coin market capitalization rose 7% in the past 24 hours, with trading volume up 50%, according to CoinMarketCap, as both whales and retail traders return. This surge of momentum has many calling it the beginning of a new “meme season.” Historically, when liquidity floods into meme coins, the strongest projects have delivered outsized gains. Today, one project in particular is drawing attention: Maxi Doge. Source – Crypto ZEUS YouTube Channel The Doge Narrative Remains Strong Much of the current excitement stems from Dogecoin’s performance. With a spot ETF under consideration, $DOGE has rallied roughly 34% and is approaching positive territory for the year. Technically, Dogecoin has been trending upward since late 2023, and maintaining levels above $0.29-$0.30 could pave the way to $0.35. In a strong bull market, even $2 remains possible. This momentum highlights why tokens associated with the Doge brand carry significant cultural and market influence. Projects such as Shiba Inu, Floki, Dogwifhat, Bonk, and Mog Coin have historically been first movers when meme coin cycles return, a trend also reflected in the recent price movements reported on CoinMarketCap. That is why traders are closely watching Maxi Doge, which brands itself as “Doge on steroids” with the goal of amplifying the meme coin narrative. Maxi Doge Presale Hints at 10x to 15x Growth Potential The presale for Maxi Doge is proving successful, having already raised over $2.3 million of its $2.5 million target. Once this phase ends, token prices reset higher, giving early participants an immediate advantage. This presale structure mirrors other meme coins that later performed strongly once listed. If Maxi Doge enters exchanges reflecting its roughly $2 million presale raise and follows the trajectory of…
