G-star name for Consensus Layer upgrade after Fusaka

Update: All Core Devs - Consensus (ACDC) #148, January 9, 2025 decided on Gloas as name for consensus layer upgrade after Fulu


A G-star name is needed for the Consensus Layer upgrade after Fusaka (EIP-7607: Hardfork Meta - Fusaka).

Assumes a cross layer upgrade combined with Amsterdam. (EIP-7773: Hardfork Meta - Amsterdam)

The consensus layer uses star names for upgrades whilst the execution layer uses Devcon cities.

See: Post-Merge Network Upgrade Naming Schemes

Recent upgrade names:

  • :owl: Shapella (Shanghai + Capella)
  • :blowfish: Dencun (Cancun + Deneb)
  • :european_castle: Pectra (Prague + Electra)
  • Fusaka (Fulu + Osaka)

@timbeiko has already suggested Glamsterdam (Gl + Amsterdam)

Assuming a cross layer upgrade, any G-star name will be combined with the execution layer name Amsterdam in a portmanteau (Portmanteau generator), so any name choice should also consider this.

(Apologies if I am stepping on the process for selecting star upgrade names, I’m not a core dev)

I like Amsgar. Sounds like a name coming from LoTR.

I am not sure how @adietrichs feels about this, though, as he himself is presumably a LoTR character.

Playing with AI to collect possible future upgrade names :slight_smile:

  1. Bogomesia (Bogota + Gomesia): it could symbolize a connection between Earth (Bogotá) and the cosmos (Gomeisa), representing innovation, exploration, and bridging earthly creativity with celestial inspiration.
  2. Bogienah (Bogota + Gienah): it can represent freedom, exploration, and creativity, tying Bogotá’s vibrant culture to the limitless possibilities of the stars.
  3. Bogacrux (Bogota + Gacrux): it could stand for finding one’s path or direction from a base of cultural and technological strength, inspired by the stars.
  4. Bogloas (Bogota + Gloas): could signify the radiant glow of Bogotá, representing its cultural brilliance and global influence.

Feel free to add more to the list!

@poojaranjan this could be a cross layer upgrade combined with Amsterdam which there is already an upgrade Meta EIP (EIP-7773: Hardfork Meta - Amsterdam).

Given Devcon is now every two years, we would also need to use Devconnect city names if we ship an upgrade every year.

Can you regenerate your ideas with Amsterdam? I don’t like Glamsterdam which could be the front runner.

Golas in polish mean naked XD do not vote please
