fusaka-devnet-3

- Barnabas compiled comprehensive feedback document from all client teams
- Recent fixes reported:
- Lighthouse bug(s) fixed on unstable branch
- Prysm ready to use trunk
- Teku still working on RPC issues
- Next steps for
fusaka-devnet-3- Target Monday for all code on trunk branches
- Target near 100% participation recovery once fixes are deployed
- Run another non-finality test for 1-2 days to confirm fixes
fusaka-devnet-5 planning
- Will launch with larger scale like devnet-4
- Launch contingent on successful
devnet-3 - Broader Fusaka timeline depends on completing current bug fixes and successful devnet-5 testing
Protocol Upgrade Process Timeline Changes
- Tim proposed modifications to original process document
- Key proposed changes:
- Minimum 14 days (down from 30) between client releases and first testnet
- Minimum 10 days between each testnet (ideally closer to 2 weeks)
- Maintain 30-day buffer between client releases and mainnet
- Community feedback collected from L2s, LSTs, infrastructure providers who were mostly in favor; check issue for more color
- Outstanding concerns:
- Mixed-use nature of testnets (testing vs staging environments)
- Need clearer public feedback from community stakeholders
- Teams need more time to review proposal
- Participants had not had time to review in-depth yet, so taking conversation async to issue and will revisit next ACDE
Fusaka Timeline Considerations to note
- Holesky being deprecated allows compressed timeline there
- Sepolia considered primary “real” testnet with full 30-day buffer
- EF PandaOps indicates more extensive shadow fork testing
- Current Fusaka mainnet timeline premature until devnet-3/5 milestones completed
Open discussion
- ModExp gas cost increase breaking a contract from AlignedLayer
- Discussion ongoing in Telegram channel
- Mario highlighted teams should check Hive test results to ensure they all pass
- Reminder: Glamsterdam EIP discussions deferred until Fusaka mainnet release
