  • •Ben Edgington named lead ACDC moderator, Will Kokorin as deputy, effective next call (two weeks) - 01:32:43
Highlights
  • Hegota Scoping:
    • ·Proposed Hegota sequencing: launch with FOCIL + PeerDAS first, add smaller EIPs next, merge quick slots later in parallel - 00:21:10
    • ·EIP-8015 (beacon state cleanup) SFI'd unanimously; already merged into Hegota spec and tested on devnet - 00:37:35
    • ·CFI: EIP-8334 (Bundled Attestation Propagation) — simulation shows ~50% bandwidth reduction for home nodes under decoupled consensus load; purely networking change - 00:55:06
    • ·CFI: EIP-8383 (Reduce CL Block Retention Window) — single config value change aligning blob/history retention windows; Lighthouse and Lodestar in favor - 00:59:31
    • ·DFI: EIP-8205 (Withdrawal credentials preregistration / deposit front-running fix) — consensus to solve definitively with PQ deposit contract redesign instead - 01:15:09
    • ·CFI: EIP-8148 (Custom sweep threshold for validators) — enables 32–2048 ETH range with configurable threshold; proof of concept in Prysm + DORA; Lido funding audit - 01:16:15
    • ·CFI: EIP-8411 (Fast Execution Payload Broadcast) — chunked payload propagation via gossip-sub; simulation shows 3× propagation improvement; Potuz suggested SFI immediately - 01:27:56
  • Organizational:
    • ·Alex Stokes stepping down as ACDC moderator; Ben Edgington takes over as lead moderator, Will Kokorin as deputy, starting in two weeks - 01:32:43
  • Eip 8365 Hegota:
    • ·EIP-8365 (remove 0x00 validator deposits): split between burning ETH (simpler) vs. Barnabas' proposal to re-queue balance as 0x01 deposit to avoid burn; deferred two weeks - 00:24:40
  • Glamsterdam Rollout:
    • ·Consensus-specs release planned tomorrow (Oct 30); Lido PR is consensus-breaking and requires explicit devnet testing; devnet launch estimated Nov 16–20 at earliest - 00:18:38
  • Focil El Clarification:
    • ·FOCIL Engine API ambiguity: some ELs rebuild payload entirely on inclusion list update at 6s, causing missed blocks; CL expects append-only; needs EL input — to be raised at next ACDE - 00:38:24
  • Glamsterdam Bid Gossip:
    • ·Two competing PRs for execution payload bid gossip: PR5774 (Potuz/Justin, proposer accepts any bid) vs PR5776 (Nico, 3% minimum increment with DOS protection) - 00:06:15
    • ·Potuz opposes PR5776: prefers leaving gossip filtering to client implementations to avoid over-specifying; Prysm likely won't enforce it - 00:11:07
    • ·PR5770: adds missing fork-choice checks to Gloas execution payload gossip validation; LGTM from Prysm/Teku; needs a few more client sign-offs before merge - 00:16:14
Action Items
  • •CL client teams - Client teams review PR5774 vs PR5776 and weigh in on bid gossip approach within a few days - 00:14:37
  • •Barnabas / CL teams - Bring FOCIL payload rebuild ambiguity to next ACDE for EL team input - 00:39:56
  • •PQ research / EF - PQ deposit contract designers must explicitly address deposit front-running; core devs confirm this is a requirement - 01:10:03

  • DFI: EIP-8205 (deposit front-running fix); problem acknowledged, fix committed to PQ deposit contract redesign
