PeerDAS
- Rafael: Devnet-5, same spec as Devnet-4 and is basically a relaunch, which fixed the client versions issues that caused the problem in Devnet-4.
- Devnet 5 Tooling: PeerDAS Dashboard
EOF
- Danno: Devnet-0 is a success
- 3+ clients in sync in the Devnet-0.
- Reth fell out for a bit but caught up afterwards.
- Devnet-1 will contain all EIP changes, and will be longer lived than Devnet-0 to allow public access to deploy and test EOF contracts.
- Evmone will have a proof-of-concept for TXCREATE over the next couple of weeks, which will allow EEST to fill tests and make fixes.
- Rafael: Suggested having a hive dashboard for the status of the clients passing EOF tests.
- Requires an EOF EEST release. Mario will work on this.
