Ethereum Sees 25% Validation Drop Post-Fusaka as Prysm Bug Nears Finality Loss
A bug in the Prysm consensus client triggered a sharp decline in Ethereum validator participation shortly after the Fusaka upgrade, dropping voting participation to 74.7%, just above the two‑thirds threshold required for finality. The issue stemmed from version v7.0.0 generating outdated states, prompting a temporary “--disable-last-epoch-targets” flag workaround that helped restore participation to around 99% within a few epochs. Prysm’s share of validators fell from roughly 22.7% to 18% during the incident, highlighting the concentration of risk in a limited client set. Despite recent gains in client diversity, Lighthouse still commands over half of consensus nodes, underscoring ongoing centralization concerns.
