Lodestar is one of the largest consumers and contributors to JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem libraries that are essential to the success of not just Ethereum, but the wider use of technologies such as libp2p, discv5, SSZ, KZG/BLS crypto. We ensure that developers have access to the tooling we create/leverage to create the applications you see on top of Ethereum's stack. Without our continual maintenance and addition to supporting new standards for the JS/TS ecosystem, many potential users may find alternatives. For example, with the deprecation of the mplex , we've developed libraries for yamux and quic replacements. We also continue to help contribute to R&D with the latest implementations in the Electra hard fork and continue to find new bugs within the specification protocol for the improvement of Ethereum.
