More testnet blobs on the way .oO

Dencun will activate on Sepolia Jan 30, and on Holesky Feb 7. If running a node on either network, now's the time to update it!

Assuming both of these go smoothly, mainnet is next ✅

The goerli fork finalized! :D

After the fix was patched in, the validators came back online and the chain started finalizing again. The MEV circuitbreaker automatically disables and mev-blocks have started flowing through as well.

Yay client diversity!
