ACDC #146 summary

Action Items

Summary

Mainly focused on finalizing the Pectra specs this call, and got an overview of a new EIP presenting FOCIL, a new design for inclusion lists.

  • First started by reviewing a deposit processing bug this week on Mekong
  • Finality on Mekong has been restored and clients have either resolved bugs or are close to fixing.
  • Next, turned to the devnet-5 spec:
  • Covered an update to EIP-7685 that was still open and not yet merged.
    • Agreed to merge #599
  • Next, turned to updates around EIP-7742
    • Started with EIP-7742 updates for fee normalization, and conversation shifted to a number of blob market updates. Check the call for the full color!
    • Agreed to go with a simpler solution to reflect a higher blob count by updating the base fee “update denominator”, rather than going with fee normalization in Pectra
  • Following the blob fee market updates, we turned to a blob throughput increase in Pectra
  • And to round out the set of blob updates, we raised the question of EIP-7623 to cap block+blob sizes in the worst case
    • There was strong support for 7623, along with some opposition.
    • Decided to bring to next week’s ACDE to allow EL client teams a chance to weigh in.
  • After the blobs, we rounded out Pectra with PR to update the consolidation mechanics under EIP-7251
  • Touched briefly on PeerDAS; devnets are waiting on Pectra to stabilize before proceeding further.
  • After Pectra, we had a presentation giving an overview of FOCIL, a new inclusion list design.
