Starting work on the /walletbeat EIP-7702 tracker previously promised.

Ethereum

Why are we coordinating mass slashings on Holesky?

While this strategy could not work on mainnet, the hope is that we can get enough Holesky validators online at once to finalize a block on the correct chain. Validators  who had previously attested to the invalid chain will get slashed as a result of doing this. Having a finalized block will allow CLs to more easily find peers on and sync to the valid chain. 

After the mass slashings, Holesky will go through a long period (2-3 weeks) of non-finality again as the slashed validators are existed and their stake drops to <33% of the overall network stake. Once that happens, the  validators who never attested to the invalid chain will finalize the valid minority chain. 

Again, this is not something we could do if such a situation happened on mainnet. CL client teams are already discussing better ways for users to force nodes onto a minority chain in the future. Expect a deeper discussion on the topic on next week's ACDC.
