Highlights of Ethereum Devs Call
Date and Chair:
- Date: November 9
- Chaired by Tim Beiko, Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol Support Lead.
Agenda Items:
- Discussion on the first Dencun Goerli shadow fork.
- Changes to execution API specifications to include blob-related data.
- Addition of a proof verification precompile to Verkle upgrade.
- ACD call schedule for the next two weeks.
Dencun Goerli Shadow Fork #0:
- Executed on November 6, testing the Dencun upgrade.
- Shadow forking is a method to test upgrades in an environment mirroring existing networks.
- Smooth testing on Goerli Shadow Fork #0, with 100 validators.
- Consideration of conducting another shadow fork with more validators for better evaluation.
- Waiting for the rework of CL clients before further testing.
Changes to Execution API Specifications:
- Proposal to update "eth_feeHistory" method to include blob-related data post-Dencun.
- Proposal for a new method "eth_blobGasPrice" or alternatively, a bundled method "eth_gasPrices."
- Discussion on concerns about the bundled method; recommendation to proceed with eth_blobGasPrice.
- Recommendation to reach out to Layer-2 protocol teams for input.
Verkle Proof Verification Precompile:
- Proposal to add a precompile for smart contract verification of Verkle proofs.
- Discussion on whether EIP 2537 could be used for this purpose (affirmed it couldn't).
- Encouragement to discuss the proposal in the Ethereum Magicians thread.
ACD Call Schedule Updates:
- Agreement to continue ACD calls despite Devconnect and U.S. Thanksgiving holidays.
- Initial consideration to cancel or reschedule, but concerns raised about the optics given the already delayed timeline of the Cancun/Deneb upgrade.
- Decision to continue the next two week’s ACD calls, with a request for asynchronous updates from client teams unable to attend.
