Ethereum Foundation Proposes EIP 7723 Update to Streamline Network Upgrade Development

The Ethereum Foundation is advancing its efforts to optimize the development process for network upgrades through a proposed update to Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7723. According to Tim Beiko, head of protocol support at the Ethereum Foundation, the proposal aims to enhance clarity and efficiency in the integration of EIPs into development networks.

Key Highlights of the Proposal:

Refining EIP Status Categories:

  • EIPs marked as "Considering for Inclusion" (CFI) would indicate proposals under review for potential inclusion in the development network.

  • EIPs marked as "Planned for Inclusion" (SFI) would specify proposals confirmed for integration in the next development network iteration.

Streamlining Deployment:

  • The proposed changes are designed to limit the volume of updates introduced to the development network, ensuring smoother deployment and testing processes.

Timeline for Implementation:

  • Beiko has invited feedback on the proposed changes, stating that the update will be finalized next week if no significant comments or objections are raised.
