Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

The Sepolia Pectra hardfork encountered an issue where the deposit contract's token-gated mechanics triggered unexpected events, causing nodes to mine empty blocks. A coordinated fix was deployed, first privately to restore functionality, then publicly at 14:00 UTC, successfully resolving the issue without losing finalization.
