ChainCatcher news: According to Christine Kim’s summary of the 137th Ethereum Consensus Core Developers Meeting (ACDC), this ACDC discussed the progress of Pectra Devnet 1 and PeerDAS Devnet 1, as well as the fork selection test generation research led by Consensys research team TxRx.
On the Pectra Devnet 1 side, the CL and EL clients are ready, and the testnet is expected to be launched next week. The EF development and operation team is testing multiple client combinations, and the EthereumJS client is ready for testing.
On PeerDAS Devnet 1, EF DevOps engineer Barnabas Busa said the CL client team is fixing the bug and plans to restart this weekend. Stokes updated the pull request for modifying the hard-coded blob gas limit on EL and CL, and plans to formalize it as an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP).
The TxRx research team implemented an initial version of the fork choice test generator, aimed at identifying client software bugs that could cause a chain split, and requested feedback to refine the test suite.
