Huoxun Finance reported on December 14th that the Prysm team released a post-mainnet analysis, revealing that the incident occurred because Prysm beacon nodes received authentications from nodes that might be out of sync with the network. These authentications referenced the block root of the previous epoch. To verify these proofs, Prysm attempted to recreate a beacon state compatible with the out-of-sync node's view of the chain. This resulted in multiple processing of blocks from past epochs and costly recalculation of epoch transitions. This vulnerability was introduced in PrysmPR15965 and deployed to the testnet a month before the incident, but it was not triggered at that time. During the Ethereum mainnet Fusaka session on December 4th, almost all Prysm nodes encountered resource exhaustion events while attempting to process certain attestations. During this period, Prysm was unable to respond to validator requests in a timely manner, leading to the loss of blocks and authentications. The incident affected epochs 411439 to 411480, a total of 42 epochs, resulting in the loss of 248 blocks out of 1344 slots, a missing rate of approximately 18.5%. Network participation dropped to 75% at one point, and validators lost approximately 382 ETH in witness rewards. Previously, Vitalik stated that Ethereum's occasional "loss of finality" did not pose a serious risk.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Negentropic, co-founder of Glassnode, published an article on the X platform analyzing the impact of Japan's interest rate hike. He pointed out that the market's fear is not tightening, but uncertainty. Sometimes market volatility can be an opportunity. The Bank of Japan's policy normalization has actually brought clarity to the global capital market, and Bitcoin usually thrives after experiencing policy pressure. Previous analyses indicated that Japan's interest rate hike may not trigger risk aversion in the crypto market. Firstly, speculators currently hold a large net long (bullish) position in the yen, making a rapid reaction to the Bank of Japan's rate hike unlikely. Secondly, Japanese government bond yields have continued to climb this year, with both short-term and long-term yield curves reaching multi-decade highs. The upcoming rate hike reflects that official interest rates are catching up with the market, indicating a low probability of risk aversion at the end of the year.
