Odaily Planet Daily News Galaxy Vice President Christine Kim summarized the key points of the 147th Ethereum All Core Developers Consensus Call (ACDC): - Developers have once again confirmed that EIP 7762 (increasing the minimum blob base fee) will not be included in the Pectra upgrade; - Developers are still finalizing specifications for the release of the new Pectra development network Devnet 5. Ethereum Foundation researcher Alex Stokes confirmed a slight renaming of the 'PendingPartialWithdrawal.index' field in the consensus specification to maintain consistency with the naming conventions of other fields related to validator withdrawals. Stokes then proposed a suggestion from Erigon developer Giulio Rebuffo to increase the 'GOSSIP_MAX_SIZE' value in the consensus specification from 10 MiB to 15 MiB. This will allow validators to safely increase the block gas limit on the EL from 30m gas to 60m gas; - Mekong is a public Pectra development network based on the Pectra Devnet 4 specification, currently running stably, with no new updates reported regarding network health. The testnet recently raised the block gas limit from 30m gas to 36m gas, and no network interruptions have been reported since; - Developers agreed to remove EIP 7742 (separating the blob count between CL and EL) from Pectra, instead doubling the blob count in Pectra by changing the genesis configuration in the client; - Some updates have been made to the design of EIP 7251, increasing the maximum effective balance; - The repricing model for BLS precompiles in EIP 2537 is nearing completion.
