pectra devnet-4
-
There was a discussion on whether the CL should send back the entire list of requests to the execution layer, the decision at first was to leave the specs as is, which entails sending the full requests list. At a later point on the call, @potuz raised concerns regarding the amount of data being serialized and JSON-formatted in Engine API is an unnecessary overhead, and it should be simplified to sending a simple hash that the CLs should compute (not hash-tree-root but a different sha256 commitment). At the end of the call, the sentiment changed to agree that we should apply this change and the CL should simply compute the hash and send it back instead of the full list, therefore the PRs need to be updated. On-going discussion can be found in this thread: Make execution requests a sidecar

eof
- Not many updates from last week, path forward is waiting on devnet-4 to be released and then rebase Osaka (which contains only EOF at the time being) on top of it in order to launch osaka-devnet-0 at some point in the coming weeks.
- feat(forks,tests): Osaka by marioevz · Pull Request #869 · ethereum/execution-spec-tests · GitHub is an open PR to the execution layer tests that has been prepared to rebase EOF to be in Osaka.
peerDAS
- Devnet-3 was launched with the same spec as devnet-2 in order to have a working devnet, but 14-15 hours ago there was an issue that caused all clients to be on their own different fork, and at the moment there is no lead on the culprit.
