@ethereum First thing on the call, we discussed the pectra-devnet-1 spec:

It's pretty close to devnet-0, with several bug fixes found during interop, the addition of EL-triggered withdrawals, and swapping EIP-3074 for 7702notes.ethereum.org/@ethpandaops/p…

Post-interop, I compiled several potential process improvements for AllCoreDevs, network upgrade planning and @EthMagicians. I finally got around to posting them for consideration 🧙‍♂️

.@ethereum #ACDE wrapped up earlier today. Most of the call discussed potential EIPs for the next fork, Pectra, with some conversation about Dencun releases, shadow forks, and retroactively applied EIPs.

Today's ACDE call should be good: Dencun updates, and overview of RollCall, the new L2 standardization calls, and discussion of some weird historical mainnet edge cases 😄

Agenda:
Stream (starts in 5 mins!):

Will recap after 🫡 github.com/ethereum/pm/is…

And here we go! First on the call was an update on devnet 10 by @parithosh_j and @BarnabasBusa. The network launched earlier this week and successfully tested the new validator churn limit by activating Dencun with a delay. The activation went from 5 -> 4 vals/epoch at the fork!

We had another @ethereum #ACDE earlier today: we discussed the latest on Dencun devnets, and spent quite some time on the Verkle Trie & State Expiry roadmap.

Agenda:
Recording:

Recap below 😄 github.com/ethereum/pm/is…

@ethereum First up, @BarnabasBusa gave an update on devnet 8: all clients were runing on it, and the network was generally healthy. That said, some EL <> CL pairs are still having issues, and teams are still finding bugs in their implementations, especially on the non-consensus side.

Had another @ethereum #ACDE earlier today: we finalized the Cancun EIP list, and discussed possible 4844, Engine API and validator spec changes 🏝️

Agenda: github.com/ethereum/pm/is…
Recording: youtube.com/live/LqaR-kdnO…

Recap below 👇 @ethereum We began the call with @dankrad making the case for changing the 4844 blob target & limit from 2/4 to 3/6.

To justify this, tests have been run on testnet + mainnet sending large blocks and analyzing the impact on the network.

Another @ethereum #ACDE today! We covered SELFDESTRUCT removal, 4844 spec changes, opcode management and potential final Cancun additions 🏖️

Agenda: github.com/ethereum/pm/is…
Stream:

Recap below 😄 @ethereum First on the call, we had the @dedaub team share the impact analysis they did around SELFDESTRUCT removal: docs.google.com/document/d/1HD…

Their presentation was thorough and accessible - recommend the livestream if you want to get the full picture 😄

Had another @Etherum #ACDE call today: most of it focused on 4844, with some brief discussion of L2 EIPs, and overall Cancun planning 🏖️

Agenda: github.com/ethereum/pm/is…
Stream: youtube.com/live/s6q5z53SI…

Recap below 👇 @Etherum On the 4844 front, we first discussed some issues with the input format to the precompile. They use little-endian, which isn't used on the EL (but is the default on the CL), while the output is big endian, the default for the EL.

We wrapped up another @ethereum #ACDE today: covered Shapella, EOF, SELFDESTRUCT, EL -> CL state access, local block building & verkle tries 🌳

Agenda: github.com/ethereum/pm/is…

Recap below 👇 @ethereum First, Shapella is coming! The announcment came out earlier this week:

Looking at the numbers, it seems like about 2/3rd of funds allocated to client teams went to the *teams* vs. 1/3rd to PG (individuals) 👀

Results skew more towards individuals if you add the 4844 collection, which had some interesting pushback: gov.optimism.io/t/feedback-on-… Not sure how explicit badge holders where about these splits, but it seems reasonable? Could argue that individuals vs. teams should be closer to 50-50, or maybe flip to 2/3rd towards individuals (idk what's best!), but it's encouraging to not see a 10x skew either way!

Much appreciated, @optimismFND ❤️‍🔥⛓️🛡️! @optimismFND I also like that both @ProtocolGuild and client teams can get allocations: PG goes directly to individuals, and some of them who fall between clearly delineated teams, and most teams' funding go back to the "org", which helps pay for both the engineers, but also everyone else!

It's happening 🎊

Shapella is scheduled on mainnet for epoch 194048, scheduled for 22:27:35 UTC on Apr. 12, 2023 📆

Client releases compatible with the upgrade are listed in the announcement below 👇

Had a big #ACDE today: set the Shapella mainnet date (!!), covered every potential Cancun EIP so far, discussed local block building, and a node operator survey by @EthCatHerders 😸

Agenda: github.com/ethereum/pm/is…
Recording: youtube.com/live/ViLwzeIuJ…

Recap below 👇 @EthCatHerders First, apologies, there were some issues in the recording, where only my audio was coming out when we recap'ed the Goerli fork + started discussing mainnet dates. Starting at 9:00 on the recording should work, and I briefly summarized the first few minutes of the call 😅
Mar 14, 2023 6 tweets 2 min read
Goerli forked! Deposits are being processed (goerli.beaconcha.in/validators/wit…), but it seems like several validators haven't upgraded. Looking into it 👀

One challenge with testnet validators is that given the ETH is worthless, there's less incentive to run a validator/monitor it.

🌃 Goerli is moving to Shapella 🌃

📆 Upgrade @ epoch 162304, (10:25:36 PM UTC on Mar. 14, 2023)📆

Client release versions, FAQs and community calls + watch parties are all linked below ⤵️

After sitting on this for months, I'm thrilled we're finally announcing summerofprotocols.com ☀️- an 18 week program, led by the one and only @vgr, with the goal of improving "protocol literacy", or how to even think about protocols & their thorny questions! @vgr We'll be funding a cohort of folks to spend the summer diving into protocols, with an explicit focus on bridging the conversation beyond the usual tech/crypto circles.
