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
- EIP-7691 proposes moving to a target of 6 and a max of 9
- ethpandaops presented some analysis supporting (6, 9) is safe for mainnet
- Agreed to move ahead with EIP-7691, with continued analysis to ensure these parameters are safe for mainnet.
- 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
- eip7251: Do not change creds type on consolidation by mkalinin · Pull Request #4020 · ethereum/consensus-specs · GitHub
- This PR handles an edge case where currently anyone can set a validator to a “compounding” regime without authorization; it also simplifies the state transition.
- Still needs tests, but agreed to merge into Pectra
- 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.
- ACDC #146 EIP-7805 FOCIL presentation - Google Slides
- EIP-7805: Fork-choice enforced Inclusion Lists (FOCIL)
- And a nice website to showcase the R&D: https://meetfocil.eth.limo/
