Announcements

bal-devnet-6 target launch: Friday 01.05.
BAL benchmark dashboard https://nerolation.github.io/bal-dashboard/. Based on data from https://benchmarkoor.core.ethpandaops.io. Requires benchmarkoor api key.
EIP-8037: bal-devnet-6 keeps the static cost_per_state_byte = 1174 from bal-devnet-3. We will use opcode level accounting.
Primary focus of this devnet is EIP-8037 stabilization: picking up the spec clarifications, follow-up tests, and the spec decisions from the state gas accounting review.
EIP-7976 and EIP-7981 must be implemented by all EL clients for bal-devnet-6. Both were added post-ACDT; spec/test side is ready, client implementations are the remaining gate.
All 7 EIP-8037 state gas accounting decisions resolved at Glamsterdam Repricing Breakout #6 (2026-04-15). Recording. See "Changes vs. bal-devnet-3" below for the full decision list.

Hosted by ethpandaops at <service>.bal-devnet-6.ethpandaops.io - available while the devnet is live.
