Devcon city name for Execution Layer upgrade after Bogotá

A Devcon city name for Execution Layer upgrade after Bogotá is needed.

The execution layer uses Devcon cities whilst the consensus layer uses star names for upgrades. See: Post-Merge Network Upgrade Naming Schemes

Recent upgrade names:

  • :owl: Shapella (Shanghai + Capella)
  • :blowfish: Dencun (Cancun + Deneb)
  • :giraffe: Pectra (Prague + Electra)
  • :zebra: Fusaka (Fulu + Osaka)
  • :polar_bear: Glamsterdam (Gloas + Amsterdam)
  • :red_question_mark: Hegotá (Heze + Bogotá)

The next execution layer name is undecided. Devcon/Devconnect order suggests it would be Devconnect 2023 in Istanbul, but both Constantinople and Istanbul have already been used.

Execution layer name potential options

Name Connection Notes
Harbiye Neighbourhood of the Devconnect 2023 main venue (Istanbul Congress Center) Specific to Devconnect rather than Istanbul generally
Şişli District containing Harbiye and the Devconnect 2023 venue ASCII form would be Sisli, like Bogota for Bogotá
Osmanbey Nearest metro station to Harbiye, on the M2 line in Şişli Three syllables; no diacritics
Taksim Neighbouring area just south of Harbiye, in Beyoğlu district Best known internationally; two syllables, easy to combine in a portmanteau
Bangkok Devcon 7, November 2024 Skips Istanbul and moves to the next Devcon/Devconnect city
