TechFlow reports, according to Tim Beiko's summary of Ethereum core developers, the 193rd Ethereum Execution Layer Core Developer Meeting (ACDE) focused on several key topics.
-
The devnet-2 specification remains unchanged; devnet-3 will include the latest EIP-7702 changes and minor adjustments but will not incorporate major features such as EOF.
-
There is broad developer support for engine_getBlobsV1, though the honest validator specification needs updating to define recommended usage. The Teku team will submit a relevant PR shortly.
-
No decision has been made yet on including EIP/RIP-7212; its proponents need to expand test coverage to match that of other Pectra EIPs.
-
Discussions regarding Ethereum's quantum resistance preparations will continue in the #cryptography channel on the R&D Discord.
-
Discussions on alternatives to Verkle trees are welcome during the Verkle implementers' meetings; any serious alternative proposals should begin research promptly.
-
Further discussion on the new state expiry proposal will continue on the EthMagicians platform.
-
@parithosh has added EIP-7463 proofs to his 4444 torrent prototype.
The next ACDE meeting will be held on August 15 at 14:00 UTC.
