EVM Execution Layer ⟠ 
The execution layer consists of multiple implementations in the form of EVM execution clients. These clients handle transactions, transaction gossiping, state management, and support for the Ethereum Virtual Machine - they are not responsible for block building.
The following execution clients are recommended to go with our required Beacon Kit v1.3.3.

Installing a more recent patch version — the z in a version number x.y.z — is generally safe.
