Luisa Crawford Sep 27, 2024 08:57 Ethereum’s All Core Developers Execution Call #197 covered critical updates on the Pectra and Fusaka upgrades, including EIPs and performance issues. On September 26, 2024, Ethereum protocol developers convened virtually for All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) Call #197, chaired by Ethereum Foundation (EF) Protocol Support Lead Tim Beiko, according to galaxy.com. The bi-weekly meeting focused on coordinating changes to Ethereum’s execution layer (EL).

However, issues like a Lighthouse state root mismatch and increased block propagation times during validator deposits remain under investigation. The team created 100,000 deposits on Devnet 3 to test network capacity, which led to increased block propagation times. Teku developer Mikhail Kalinin is working on changes to consensus layer (CL) specifications to address the issue. Planning for Pectra Devnet 4 is underway, with a launch target within two weeks. Fusaka Upgrade and Future Plans For the next hard fork, Fusaka, Beiko confirmed the inclusion of PeerDAS and EOF EIPs. Other EIPs may be added once implementations for these two are further along. Beiko also mentioned a new EIP for the upgrade following Osaka, nicknamed Amsterdam, which will carry over EIPs like Verkle originally considered for Osaka. BLS MSM Benchmarks Developers discussed repricing BLS precompiles in EIP 2537. Geth developer Jared Wasinger proposed a 20% cost increase, supported by other developers. Beiko recommended including BLS repricing in Devnet 4 and asked for benchmarking analyses to be completed by the next…
