x Merge
summary
Describes a concrete Merge implementation: the beacon node communicates with execution clients via four RPCs assemble_block new_payload set_head finalize_block, execution payloads travel as protobufs and are verified by a Geth/Nethermind RPC, and payloads are requested back when proposing. Implementation uses protobuf and gRPC, Go, Bazel and fast-ssz; the client adds relatively few code changes (most work lands in execution clients), a working integration and screenshots exist, and a multi-client Merge testnet is imminent.
