The Ethereum Foundation announced the return of Ethereum Protocol Studies (EPS), a program designed to make Ethereum’s core protocol more accessible. The 2026 cohort begins Monday, February 23rd, and introduces new tracks in cryptography and lean consensus/zkEVM, along with a self-paced learning platform. The program guides developers, researchers, and curious users from general Ethereum familiarity to reading protocol specifications, understanding client architecture, and contributing to core development. Participants get to engage with core developers and researchers through live seminars and Discord discussions, gaining a deeper understanding of Ethereum’s inner workings.
Rocket Pool, the decentralized Ethereum staking protocol, activated its Saturn One upgrade, introducing 4 ETH megapool validators. The upgrade cuts the node operator bond requirement in half compared to the 8 ETH minipools, significantly improving capital efficiency, scalability, and overall token economics. With megapools, operators can run twice as many validators using the same capital, earning up to 2.3x more commission per ETH bonded. Saturn One also introduces the Universal Adjustable Revenue Split (UARS) rewards model, allocating a 5% base commission to node operators, a 9% revenue share to RPL stakers, while rETH holders maintain the same effective commission as before. rETH remains overcollateralized.
Ethereum Foundation Product Lead Josh Rudolf introduced the Ethereum Foundation’s new Platform Team, focused on unifying the Ethereum L1 and L2 ecosystem. The team’s mission is to ensure Ethereum serves as the strongest possible platform for users, applications, and organizations. The Platform Team will work to bring greater cohesion to Ethereum’s growing network of differentiated L2s. It will lead product-driven R&D, integrate ecosystem needs into the Ethereum roadmap, align L1 and L2 strategy, track network health, and ensure protocol upgrades translate into real-world adoption. The initiative seeks to clarify the roles of L1 and L2 as Ethereum scales, strengthening L1 while enabling specialized L2s to extend its capabilities.
Go Ethereum released v1.16.9, a high-severity security update addressing multiple critical vulnerabilities. All Geth node operators are strongly urged to upgrade as soon as possible. After updating, operators should rotate their p2p node key. The team also released v1.17.0, a feature update that includes the same security fixes and introduces support for lightweight partial archive setups.

Major devs crushing it. Respect to the EF teams knocking out protocol updates and Geth fixes - this is how you build sustainable infrastructure. Liquity presenting too, always solid.
Insane progress from the EF team and Rocket Pool frens! 👏 Keep up the grind y’all are building the future
Solid progress. Geth security update is fire. And Saturn 1 launch finally happening after so many delays! 👌
solid contribution from the liquity team. rocket pool saturn progress is a big deal for eth 2.0. excited to see more protocol studies too. 🔥
Solid work on Rocket Pool Saturn 1 launch, and the Geth security release is a must for stability. 👌 How soon until Layer 2 integrations start benefiting from this? 🤔
Ethereum Protocol Studies 2026 notes EPS returns with new cryptography and lean consensus/zkEVM tracks, Rocket Pool activates Saturn 1 upgrade, the Ethereum Foundation launches a Platform Team to align L1/L2, and Geth releases a high-severity security update. @ethdaily.eth
