Highlights
  • Eip Proposals Hegota:
    • ·EIP-7907 (contract size metering): PFI raised by Ben Adams; EIP-7954 raised contract limit without metering, creating DoS surface; decision deferred to next call - 00:59:01
    • ·CFI: EIP-5920 (PAY opcode) — medium complexity, broad support - 01:03:00
    • ·CFI: EIP-8151 (ecRecover deprecation) and EIP-8298 (SETCODEFROM) — paired as PQ EOA migration path - 01:06:49
    • ·CFI: EIP-8360 (TCREATE opcode) and EIP-4758 (Deactivate SELFDESTRUCT) — paired; fix for issue introduced in Glamsterdam - 01:07:23
    • ·CFI: EIP-7709 (read BLOCKHASH from storage) — upgraded to A-tier by Nethermind; benefits BAL light-client use case - 01:12:28
    • ·CFI: EIP-8077 (eth/xx mempool networking) — conditional on deeper analysis including frame/fee fields - 01:18:39
    • ·DFI: EIP-7666 (EVM-ify identity precompile) — gas pricing edge cases and low value; consensus shifted to DFI after jochem-brouwer raised spec issues - 01:27:03
    • ·DFI: EIP-8355 (ML-DSA precompile) — no consensus on lattice schemes; zkEVM cost concerns; hash-based approach preferred - 01:34:02
    • ·CFI: EIP-8116 (replace cumulative receipt fields) — low priority, placed at bottom of CFI list - 01:36:10
    • ·DFI: EIP-8374 (persist warm access sets across reverts) — lukewarm support, deep fork boundary change not worth complexity - 01:40:31
  • Complexity And Tooling:
    • ·danceratopz presented LLM-based retrospective EIP complexity assessments; 14 CFI/SFI EIPs already make Hegota the most complex fork on record before any additional PFIs - 00:33:49
    • ·Łukasz Rozmej: Nethermind has 150+ Hegota PRs; bottleneck is coordination/testing, not implementation; advocates for better tooling and EIP champion involvement - 00:47:00
  • Fork Status And Schedule:
    • ·Glamsterdam fork on Sepolia successful; boring fork, gas limit ramped to 200M post-fork - 00:17:24
    • ·ePBS builder participation on Sepolia low: ~4 active builders (Titan/Nico/Sigma Prime), large players absent - 00:18:46
    • ·Hoodi fork scheduled Monday October 26 at 17:42 UTC; client releases required by October 16 (10-day notice) - 00:21:44
    • ·Gas limit change confirmed to activate on the fork epoch for both Hoodi and Mainnet - 00:30:13
    • ·Mainnet shadow fork accidentally activated Gloas; now being used for Snap 2 testing with large blocks; benchmarking shadow fork relaunching next week - 00:30:38
Action Items
  • •Csaba (EIP-8077 champion) - EIP-8077 champion to expand proposal to include fee/frame fields beyond sender+nonce for mempool filtering - 01:18:39
  • •EL client teams - Review Glamsterdam Ecosystem Readiness Checklist PR (#2266) for enterprise Sepolia feedback collection - 01:41:07

Key decisions
