  • •All client teams - Review and approve Sepolia Glamsterdam activation PR if not yet done - 00:30:32

Key decisions

  • Serving window / BAL retention not resolved; not blocking testnet launch; continue async

    The lack of alignment between the Consensus Layer block-serving window and Execution Layer BAL retention will not block the upcoming testnet launch.
  • Hegota devnet strategy: start FOCIL-only and EIP-7702-only separately, then merge into combined Hegota devnet

    HegotaInitial devnets will isolate FOCIL and EIP-7702 (Frames) features before combining them into a unified Hegota devnet.
  • DFI: EIP-8142 (BiB) withdrawn by champion; EIP-8411 proposed as replacement

    UnknownEIP-8142 was withdrawn by its champion and replaced by EIP-8411 for fast execution broadcast.
