Client testing call #20, January 13, 2025

Pectra

  • Spec releases were done last week, v1.5.0-beta.0 and pectra-devnet-5@v1.2.0
  • Pari will trigger the Hive update after Mario’s/Dan’s fix.
  • New tests have been added for EIP-7623 into the EEST release
  • No more major test releases for devnets are expected
  • EEST tests are being consumed in Assertor, and initial results look promising
  • No other open PRs; the testing is moving closer to the final release and testnet phase.
  • Depending on the hive bugfix, Nethermind should pass all Hive tests.
  • Erigon: close to passing all Spec tests; Hive test results are pending. Code review is in progress and looks positive.
  • Besu: In a similar position to Erigon with Hive tests needed fixes. But they are also doing code review and progress looks positive.
  • Open Topics:
    • Tbenr raised the topic of SSZ support for builder flow on CL.
    • Pari clarified that SSZ support is optional and not the main focus but will be tested in collaboration with the Flashbots team at a later point.
    • Lighthouse is still missing from Kurtosis tests, which impacts Pectra testing as Lighthouse is essential for the mock workflow. Updates are expected this week.

Note: Pectra Devnet 5 will launch without MEV support by default but will add it later.

PeerDAS

  • Highlights from the last meeting:
    • Most clients are working on rebasing and local testing.
    • Standardizing metrics may temporarily break some clients.

EOF

  • Danno will merge the branch for testing.
  • Some issues with block tests were noted but are expected.
  • Building for the Osaka 0 devnet will start once there are three merged clients.
