ChainCatcher news, summarized by Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy, highlighted the key discussions of the 147th Ethereum core developer consensus (ACDC) meeting regarding the advancement plan for Pectra Devnet 5. The Mekong network (based on Pectra Devnet 4 specifications) is running stably, with no new issues reported.
Developers suggested removing the feature to modify the validator's block GAS limit to avoid consensus failures and decided to remove EIP 7742, increasing the Blob count by modifying the genesis configuration to simplify the Pectra upgrade process. The team plans to complete the deployment of Pectra Devnet 5 by the end of the year and continue optimizing related EIPs and specifications.
