  • EIP-7688 (stable containers) deferred until EPBS devnet stable for at least a weekend; targeting devnet-8 - 00:26:41

  • Breakout rooms split: EL on deployment/8037 topics, CL on range sync and EPBS issues - 00:40:52
Highlights
  • Organizational:
    • ·ACDC this week at 11:00 UTC (3 hours earlier than normal); one-time change, not committed - 00:41:31
    • ·SSZ Engine API: Geth and Erigon implementing; EF intern targeting Prysm and Nimbus on CL side - 00:41:43
  • Testing Progress:
    • ·Glamsterdam devnet-5 struggling badly; multiple clients forking for unclear reasons - 00:06:09
    • ·Prysm unable to sync from finalized checkpoint; isolated and out of peers due to Hetzner co-location downscoring - 00:07:31
    • ·Potuz: no value in recovering devnet-5 without understanding root cause; relaunch preferred - 00:08:02
    • ·Most ELs optimistic on devnet-5; cannot produce blocks or attest — recovery unlikely - 00:11:49
    • ·bal-devnet-7 running stable; benchmarking underway, numbers looking good per Stefan - 00:05:17
  • Fork Status And Schedule:
    • ·Glamsterdam devnet-6 relaunch targeted for Wednesday; same spec as devnet-5 - 00:13:50
    • ·Glamsterdam devnet-6 scope unchanged; new EIPs targeting devnet-7 - 00:21:31

  • Eip Proposals Glamsterdam:
    • ·EIP-7688 (stable containers): blocks 200 MW tests due to SSZ deposit limit overflow; only Nimbus and Lodestar fully implemented - 00:23:08
    • ·Consensus: defer EIP-7688 until EPBS devnet stable for at least a weekend; target devnet-8 - 00:26:41
    • ·EIP-7997 (deterministic factory): Option 2 preferred — enshrine Arachnid contract in Genesis file; no-op for mainnet - 00:30:22
    • ·Arachnid cannot be deployed post-Glamsterdam via Nick's method; 8037 increased gas costs past 100K tx limit - 00:36:06
Action Items
  • Toni Wahrstätter / Mario Vega / frangio - Toni to align with Mario and frangio async on EIP-7997 vs. new EIP approach for enshrining Arachnid - 00:39:32
