Description
Client diversity makes Ethereum more resilient. But it also means that, from time to time, different clients disagree on which chain is valid, leading to a fork. When that happens, how can validators make sure they're voting for the correct side? This talk explores how multi-node validator clients (like Vero and Vouch) help validators navigate such situations safely by combining the views of multiple client implementations.

Description
Vero is a new validator client that can aggregate data from multiple beacon nodes running different client implementations. This significantly reduces the impact of any single client bug, making Ethereum more resilient while also reducing risk.
