Ethereum developers have patched a flaw in the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade that could have let someone walk off with ETH that staking services meant for new validators. The fix, which changed the rules for handling validator deposits , was merged Monday, a week after developers turned it down. Glamsterdam splits up two jobs that are bundled together today. Builders put blocks of transactions together, and validators, who stake ETH to help secure the network, pick and confirm them. Both can deposit ETH, and their money is supposed to be tracked separately.
