Recap

Tim Beiko’s recap of all core devs – execution (ACDE):

• Dencun: The Sepolia fork went very well overall! Prysm is investigating a proposal delay issue that may be due to relays. That said, the Nethermind team managed to break devnet-12 using a blob spammer. Over the next week, we'll dig into both of these issues, see blobs expire on Goerli, and have Holesky fork. Assuming everything looks by then, we'll pick a mainnet fork time on next week's ACDC. By then, we'll also try and gather testing feedback from L2s.

• Most of the call went into details for Verkle, EOF, and EIP-4444/Portal. I won't recap all the conversations here, but here are a few notable links:

  • Verkle status update: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1R_UkS0WyGN1FK3qYxSBK5zZxBbN8Cx2mFHQj6rQ0jRA/edit?usp=sharing

• Portal FAQ: https://notes.ethereum.org/@Kolby-ML/HJ-9D5aYp

• We agreed to prioritize Verkle and make it the core feature of the Osaka upgrade, which will follow Prague. I've opened a PR to reflect this: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8159

• With that decided, we'll focus the next ACDE on finalizing the scope for Prague: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8121

• No objections to reserving a precompile range for L2s, so https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8074 will move forward.

• Lastly, two things we didn't get to cover on the call but want to flag:

• Adding client versions in the Engine API: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/517

• EIP-7523, see: ⁠allcoredevs⁠
