Ebb-and-Flow Protocols: A Resolution of the Availability-Finality Dilemma — mentioned by lazzlazzlazz

I have been professionally close to the situation for more than four years, and it has never been "two months from the Merge" before. It was expected to be in about four years about five years ago. That's the most it's been delayed so far, which is impressive in my view given how much novel research has been required. For anyone curious about an academic explanation of the problems being solved by ETH 2.0's consensus model, see this paper[1] out of David Tse's lab at Stanford.
