All core devs execution (ACDE)

ACDE # 187 call video. Recap from Tim Beiko. Notes from Christine Kim:

Pectra-devnet-0: launch earl next week, some client teams completed implementations

EIP7702 set EOA account code for one transaction: successor to EIP3074, aimed at improving EOAs and aligned with ERC4337 account abstraction

Broad support for including in Pectra

SSZ priorit: client teams didnt support changing to SSZ in Pectra

EOF: Meta EIP & EIP7698 creation transaction added to Pectra considered for inclusion

EIP7623 increase calldata costs: gas sheltering concerns theoreticall possible but deemed not viable

Reentranc protection: EIP7705 reentranc opcodes proposed to lower protection cost

Pectra (Prague + Electra) upgrade (meta 1715564592333753), small fork targeting late 2024

consensus-specs v1.5.0-alpha.2: test case fixes for Electra and fixes for PeerDAS initial interop

EVM Object Format (EOF) website, work in progress

Centraliation watch: threatening the value of our ETH

Lido at 28.7% still too close to 33.3% threshold

Proposal to create Lido Research to contribute to minimal viable issuance research

Client diversit (via clientdiversit.org):

Execution laer: Geth 62% majorit

Figment went Geth free

Consensus laer: Prsm 37%

An client bug over 33.3% could mean loss of finalit

Options for validators to share client info: graffiti, gossip or voting

Better geographic diversit is optimal, particularl outside of North America & Europe

Laer 1

Account abstraction breakout # 2 1715564592626322

Native account abstraction on Laer 1 not expected for several ears (after Osaka upgrade)

EIP7702 succeeds EIP3074, account abstraction aligned with form factor of EIP5806 (new transaction tpe) & user experience of EIP3074

Discussion on need for chain ID & nonce in EIP7702

Vitalik: multidimensional gas pricing

Histor growth vi: histor growing 8x faster than state, nodes using 2TB drives will need to upgrade in 2-3 ears unless EIP4444 adopted to halve the storage burden

Builder market centraliation: private order Flow & wh builders win blocks

Fork choice attacks and PeerDAS

Client Releases

Consensus laer:

Grandine v0.4.0/1: optimiations, new attestations packer, in-memor mode, improved compatibilit with other validator clients, integrations with Eth-docker & Ethereum on Arm

Execution laer:

Geth DoS vulnerabilit via malicious p2p message, patched in v1.13.15

EthStaker: hardware recommendations

Laer 2

Rollcall (L2 standards) # 5 1715564592351315: RIP7212 (secp256r1 precompile) spec clarification & pricing, 1715564592422312 presentation (generic double scalar multiplication precompile) and Laer 1 update

Commitment Boost: proposal to standardie how proposers register & send/receive commitments
