Call summary
Targets
- •Glamsterdam devnet-8: ~1-2 weeks; focus on fork transition with repricing EIP cleanups - 00:08:06
- •Glamsterdam devnet-9: non-finality chaos devnet targeting within ~1 month - 00:10:22
Decisions
- •devnet-8 to run discv5-only (no discv4); confirmed support from Besu/Nimbus EL - 00:16:55
- •All devnet-7 EIPs ready to SFI pending ratification at next ACD call Thursday - 00:19:56
- •EIP-7773 Glamsterdam Meta EIP to move to Review status; no objections - 00:20:17
- •EIP-7997 EELS irregular state transition PR to be closed; factory existence check unnecessary and adds unwanted witness entries - 00:31:31
Highlights
- Eip Status:
- ·All devnet-7 EIPs satisfy SFI criteria per EIP-7723; proposal to formally SFI at next ACDE/ACDC Thursday - 00:18:25
- ·EIP-7773 Meta EIP for Glamsterdam to be moved to Review status; no objections raised - 00:20:01
- Testing Progress:
- ·Death Star added to devnet-7 for chaos testing; malicious Prysm node also incoming this week - 00:06:23
- ·Lodestar fork-transition bug: spread operator blew the stack on large SSZ Merkle trees; fixed - 00:11:43
- ·Stable containers ~10-20% slower across clients; optimization round needed before testnet - 00:13:59
- ·Main devnet-7 EL issue: gas accounting inconsistencies; SSZ container performance at fork transition was the bigger surprise - 00:16:11
- El Breakout Bal Json Rpc:
- ·BAL-specific JSON RPC methods inconsistent across clients; Toni created alignment PR against execution-apis - 00:22:33
- ·EIP-7997 contracts factory: Toni's EELS PR to add factory via irregular state transition; consensus is to close it — factory already in Genesis, check adds unwanted witness entries - 00:26:10

- ·Glamsterdam devnet-7 stable; Erigon and Grandine being onboarded as final clients - 00:05:52
- ·devnet-8 targets spec cleanup changes (repricing EIPs) and another fork transition test; timeline ~1-2 weeks - 00:07:09
