There are many implementation of both [consensus](/wiki/CL/cl-clients.md) and [execution](/wiki/EL/el-clients.md) layer developed by various independent teams. Together with teams working on research, testing and other infrastracture, core developers are maintaining the base technology used by everyone building on Ethereum.

Teams working on separate clients are distributed across different organizations, companies or non-profits. They implement the same specification in different languages with various features and performance profiles. The [client diversity](https://ethereum.org/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/client-diversity) is a fundamental principle embraced by Ethereum. The range of different clients can ensure stability and security of the network while keeping the core development decentralized and open to everyone.

Although different teams come from different organization, they all work together and collaborate on improving the whole network. Progress is achieved through discussions in public channels, mainly carried out in weekly meetings. These calls are public and tracked in [project management repo](https://github.com/ethereum/pm), including ACD - Execution and Consensus Layer calls, various "Breakout Room" and working group calls. Outside of calls, discussions are held in the Ethereum R&D Discord channel, Eth Magicians forum and EthResearch forum.

Despite teams working in different parts of the world and mostly working asynchronously, they do come together for in person events throughout the year such as [Devcon](https://devcon.org/en/), [interop](https://blog.ethereum.org/2024/05/22/nyota-interop-recap), or other workshops such as the [Summer of Protocols](https://summerofprotocols.com/protocol-week). These in person events are the perfect opportunity to get a lot done and catch up with one another!

SoP is not really core dev oriented
