Trying ahead
The goals of this contest had been to welcome new minds into the Ethereum group, encourage them to pore over eth2 information, make it simpler to parse and analyse, and supply precious insights to each builders and the group at massive. To that finish, the competitors has been an amazing success, and we suspect that lots of the instruments and analyses produced can be helpful as mainnet goes dwell.
