As a longtime geomatician with a passion for data, statistics, open source, and decentralization, I began analyzing key properties of the Beacon Chain in 2024. After publishing two articles on EthResearch about safety and liveness, I now want to present the tool I created—with help from Migalabs—that allows anyone in the Ethereum community to check the DEFCON state of Ethereum in real time.

Monitoring Ethereum’s Beacon Chain: A DEFCON Alert System for Safety and Liveness
Pavel Bautista
We introduce a new tool that analyzes safety and liveness properties of the Beacon chain, designed to alert when the chain enters periods of low reliability. We present the different critical periods identified from Genesis to Today, and classified by our Defense Readiness Condition (DEFCON) Alert Systems that we propose.
