Highlights
  • Organizational:
    • ·ACDT #103 moved to November 9th; skipping November 2nd due to Devcon - 00:38:07
  • Glamsterdam Epbs:
    • ·Builder onboarding fix (PR #5736): only 0x0B-prefixed deposits credited to builders at fork; preserves deposit invariant for staking protocols - 00:25:33
    • ·GetPayload timeout removed (execution-apis PR #958); EL should respond immediately, not delay for better block - 00:32:01
    • ·Proposed gossip check: reject payloads where tx count exceeds gas_limit / MIN_TRANSACTION_GAS; needs spec PR - 00:49:18
  • Eip 8037 8038 Security:
    • ·Four breaking patterns identified: hardcoded gas, gas-left increases, refund path unlocks, repricing interactions - 00:13:01
    • ·Francesco: no meaningful findings after comprehensive analysis including Sourcify contract scan; spec changes very unlikely - 00:22:20
    • ·Łukasz's spec-change PR being reviewed; Maria decomposing into targeted per-invariant fixes rather than a bundle - 00:23:49
  • Epbs Envelope Backfill:
    • ·Builder signatures in BlobsByRange cannot be verified after builder exits; spec should clarify signature is unverifiable pre-checkpoint - 00:44:08
  • Fork Status And Schedule:
    • ·Hoodi fork delayed at least 2 weeks pending EIP-8037/8038 blast radius analysis - 00:14:43
    • ·ChainSecurity + DWB audit ETA ~2 weeks; wait for results before rescheduling - 00:15:02
    • ·Default path: affected contracts fix themselves; spec changes only as last resort - 00:17:05
  • Consensus Spec Shorter Slots:
    • ·No consensus to merge shorter-slots machinery into Glamsterdam main spec; remains a feature branch - 00:55:54
    • ·Potuzz: spec changes not needed for testing; maintainers should tag a branch off main for devnet targets - 01:00:26
    • ·Defer decision to ACDC; majority client agreement required before merging into Glamsterdam spec - 01:04:15
Action Items
  • •Sam (Nimbus) - Open consensus-specs PR clarifying envelope signatures are not verifiable during backfill - 00:47:36
  • •Nico Flaig (Lodestar) - Open consensus-specs PR for GetPayload transaction count gossip check with MIN_TRANSACTION_GAS constant - 00:54:50
  • •All teams - Review PM PR #2284 (process improvements to reduce future security surprises) - 00:16:25

Key decisions

  • Hoodi fork scheduling delayed minimum 2 weeks; revisit after audits complete

    Delayed pending blast radius analysis of EIP-8037/8038 and audit results from ChainSecurity and DWB.
  • Builder onboarding fix (consensus-specs PR #5736) approved and will be merged this week

    Ensures only 0x0B-prefixed deposits are credited to builders at fork to preserve deposit invariants for staking protocols.
  • GetPayload timeout definition removed (execution-apis PR #958 already merged); EL must respond immediately

    Execution Layer should respond immediately rather than delaying for a potentially better block.
  • Shorter slots remain a feature branch; not merged into Glamsterdam spec until majority client agreement

    Decision deferred to ACDC; requires majority client agreement before merging into the main Glamsterdam specification.
