According to Odaily, Ethereum core developer timbeiko.eth has announced that the Ethereum core development team has agreed to include the 'EVM Object Format' (EOF) in the upcoming Pectra upgrade. As described in EIP-7692, EOF involves approximately 11 EIPs, providing an optional container for EVM code to improve code verification and introduce new features.
If EOF becomes a hindrance, it will be separated into different forks to ensure that Pectra can continue without significant delays. EOF will not be part of the initial version of devnet 1. The Pectra upgrade will also include the account abstraction standard EIP-7702 proposed by Vitalik Buterin.
Overall, Pectra is considered a comprehensive upgrade, planned to include 19 EIPs, making it one of the broadest upgrades in Ethereum's history.
