Ethereum's next network upgrade, Pectra, is coming to mainnet on May 7th, at epoch 364032 🎉

Pectra introduces EIP-7702, several improvements to validator UX, a doubling of the blob count (.oO!) and many other features!

See the full announcement here: https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/04/23/pectra-mainnet

Short summary of big ACD:

- Pectra tentatively scheduled for April 30 📆
- EOF still in Fusaka, full scope by April 10. P0: ship PeerDAS ASAP 🚢
- Pre-merge history dropping from Sepolia on May 1st, and mainnet ~1 month after Pectra 🕳️
- Protocol Research Call #001 next week 📺

Holesky Slashing call update:

We did not have enough validators online to finalize, but we saw less slashings than expected.

Therefore, we're going to try and get enough validators online to finalize a block over the next couple days.

If we haven't finalized a block by the Monday testing call, we'll coordinate mass slashings at that point.

If you are reading this and run a Holesky validator, please get it back online ASAP and remove your slashing protection DB (to allow you to attest to the valid minority chain). More info here: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Pectra/holesky-postmortem.md

Pectra Testnet Update 📣

On Monday, Pectra activated on Holesky. An EL bug caused chain splits, resulting in a minority chain being valid, degrading the network health.

Holesky validators must take action ASAP, some Sepolia users must upgrade their client.



Holesky validators: we are coordinating a mass slashing event tomorrow Feb. 28 around 15:00 UTC.

You should:
1. Update your node (see screenshot)
2. Sync your node to head (new CL branches will help)
3. Right before slot 3737760, disable slashing protection

More info here: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Pectra/holesky-postmortem.md#holesky-coordinated-slashings



Sepolia node operators: the fork will happen as previously scheduled at epoch 222464 (Mar. 5, 7:29 UTC).

If you are using Geth, Besu, Nethermind or Lodestar, you must update your client to one of the releases listed here: https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/02/14/pectra-testnet-announcement

an underrated positive of Farcaster over Twitter is that for some reason I don't feel the need to caveat posts here
Come help the EF continue building the Ethereum Ivory Tower 🏰🫡

Sorry to report that Sonnet 3.7 is *not* aligned 😅

Quick Holesky incident update:

- EL config issue is fixed, releases out
- CL clients struggle to sync, working on patches, some are being tested right now
- We expect to save Holesky by building on the minority chain 🤞

ACD check-in scheduled for 14:00 UTC tomorrow 🫡

Is YouTube the best place to stream ACD? If not, where should we stream it?

the true ai alignment problem is getting an LLM to do basic formatting on a long set of notes without trying to "improve" them anywhere
ICYMI, in this week’s Protocolized newsletter, @timber unpacked one the foundational concepts we’ve been using to sharpen our protocol thinking: tensions ☀️

https://open.substack.com/pub/protocolized/p/one-tension-to-rule-them-all?r=4rl0&utm_medium=ios
Is EIP-7702 "account abstraction"?
The Summer of Protocols newsletter is back with a new format ☀️

To kick things off, @vgr shares his theory of fantasy vs. sci-fi, what new narratives are needed to navigate the changing world order, and where protocols fit in the picture 😄

Pectra is going live 🥳

Holesky will fork at slot 3710976 (Mon, Feb 24 at 21:55:12 UTC)
Sepolia will fork at slot 7118848 (Wed, Mar 5 at 07:29:36 UTC)

Assuming Sepolia goes smoothly, we'll pick the mainnet slot on the March 6 ACD call 📅
If you are looking to go down the core development rabbit hole, this is for you 🕳️🐇

On this note, cursor.ai is actually great to get a deeper understanding of Ethereum governance 😄

I fed it the ethereum/pm repo and it does a good job at giving context about decisions on the calls over time!
What is the best tool/setup to use an LLM to actively work on a text document real time, like cursor.ai does for code?

The workflow I’d like is closer to “colleague commenting + making suggestions in your google docs” than copy/pasting a bunch of stuff back and forth.
I honestly think Splits is the most underrated product on Ethereum.
