Call summary

Targets
  • April 29th - Latest BalDevNet 4 launch (prefer before interop) — 00:15:21
Decisions
  • Prefer stability over adding EIP-2780 to BalDevNet 4 before interop — 00:19:47
  • Include EIP-7976 and EIP-7981 in BalDevNet 4 (simple data EIPs) — 00:21:28
  • Re-evaluate EIP-2780 inclusion next Monday after test/implementation assessment — 00:19:32
Highlights
  • Devnet Status:
    • ·ePBS DevNet 1 broken since launch; DevNet 2 planned after beacon state changes — 00:08:31
    • ·BalDevNet 3 launched Wednesday; Geth/Nethermind forked on gas accounting disagreement — 00:09:12
    • ·State gas reservoir overflow: clients disagree treating borrowed gas as state vs regular — 00:09:53
  • Epbs Technical:
    • ·Proposed: EPBS range sync without requesting payloads for finalized sections — 00:22:54
    • ·Removing payload state transition enables CL-only range sync; much faster catchup — 00:24:40
    • ·Risk: could client sync through finalized invalid block without payload validation? — 00:26:12
    • ·Nethermind validates by replaying all blocks from network during range sync — 00:29:32
  • Bal Devnet Planning:
    • ·BalDevNet 4 spec created; 2-3 issues for DevNet 3, remainder require DevNet 4 — 00:11:17

  • Ben Adams

    Replying to "https://notes.ethere..." I'd like to add 2780 to devnet4 since it effects every tx would be good to get sight of it soon

  • FLCL

    any takes on devnet-4 date?

  • Mario Vega

    What’s the number of the EIP?

  • Toni Wahrstätter

    2780 is still waiting for the benchmarks anyway?

  • Stefan Starflinger

    2780

  • Mario Vega

    Reacted to "2780" with 👍🏼

  • FLCL

    https://notes.ethereum.org/@ethpandaops/bal-devnet-4 changed and mentions other two gas changes instead of 2780. Honestly solid and stable 8037 may be enough for 4. 3 repricing eips is too much on top of it. Or include 1 something simple

  • Stefan Starflinger

    if we were done (end in sight) with 8037 i'd be behind adding 2780

  • Barnabas

    Would prefer stability over adding another EIP. (for interop’s sake)

    EIP-7976 and EIP-7981 are much simpler than 2780

  • FLCL

    at least one finalized block?

  • Parithosh Jayanthi

    Wouldn’t this depend on snap vs full sync?

  • Justin Florentine (Besu)

    yes, i think we would backwards sync right over the unfinalized section.

  • Toni Wahrstätter

    For at least the WSP yeah

  • Barnabas

    who is responsible for reorging in case we have a massive parallel fork?

  • Toni Wahrstätter

    There is a fallback to snap sync in case the state of the parent is missing though - not sure this can be triggered for the scenarion in discussion

  • FLCL

    why is it significant?

  • Łukasz Rozmej

    "I want to have that in writing" ;)

    I’ll have a quick writeup soon

    i remain unsure but writeup can be consulted by rest of team, pretty quickly

  • Toni Wahrstätter

    Reacted to "I’ll have a quick wr..." with ❤️

  • Łukasz Rozmej

    @Potuz how is it different from initial sync? In initial sync you also give us Payload/FCU and we get it from the network

  • Enrico Del Fante (tbenr)

    I get it now what the issue is 🙂

  • nixo

    marc

  • Potuz

    When we do init sync we do send you the payloads

  • Potuz

    LH doesn't

  • Potuz

    But they verify the hash

  • wolovim

    Thanks 🙂

  • Potuz

    Am I the only one that doesn’t see a breakout?

  • lightclient

    I dont

  • nixo

    i don’t either

  • Potuz

    Can you add me Pari to the ePBS one?

  • Eitan Seri-Levi

    I can’t see it
