As an Ethereum validator and user, I’d like to see Verkle trees and anything else that unblocks state expiry and stateless clients prioritized above all else. I prefer a delay in the next hard fork over shipping other EIPs. PeerDAS is also very interesting, as long as it does not interfere with shipping Verkle trees. And increasing the max validator size is great for solo validators as well.
As an EVM developer, I am opposed to EOF. I am not convinced of the value in creating a new version of the EVM while still forever maintaining past versions. Even if it’s an order of magnitude more efficient, unless there is a plan to disable, remove, or (impossibly?) migrate older code, my main concern is the developer overhead for working with multiple versions of the EVM as well as the increased risk of client bugs.
Upgradeability of EOF contracts could limit this to a small number of versions, but older versions will always exist and will also stop receiving improvements, and minor improvements in efficiency of EOF execution will not be sufficient to encourage a large scale migration.
