Slot zero owns 96% of target-vote misses
· 5 min read
The first committee of an Ethereum epoch has an awkward job. Its FFG target is the block being proposed in the same slot, so some validators vote before that block reaches them and some vote after.
That little race owns almost the entire target-miss surface. Across the first 14 complete UTC days of August, slot zero carried 3.12% of attested validator duties and 96.13% of incorrect target votes.
