Can't remember the last time I was this excited for an album to drop 😁

We wrapped up another @ethereum ACDE today, here are the main next steps. In addition to what's here, we discussed changes to the gas limit, blob counts, slot times and the impacts of this on node operators 🤖

Agenda, recording and recap below 👇

THANK YOU @puffer_finance for your strong commitment to supporting Ethereum L1 R&D by taking the Protocol Guild Pledge ❤️‍🔥⛓️🛡️!

I will die on this hill ⛓️🛡️

This is one of the highest impact roles you could have working on Ethereum🔥

If you are deeply interested in how things can go wrong, building tools and processes to ensure they don't and getting to work with an amazing crew, you should apply 😁

And, lastly, given the Pectra split across two forks, we moved the Verkle EIPs, which were CFI'd for Fusaka, to the fork after: Amsterdam 🇳🇱

Next ACDE is scheduled for Oct 10, 14:00 UTC 🫡

For Fusaka, we agreed to first get EOF and PeerDAS, both of which were scheduled for Pectra, implemented and running smoothly on devnets. This should help us keep a focused scope, but leaves the door open to considering further additions once these are implemented (not before!)

There was a push to increase the blob count in Pectra. We couldn't reach consensus on that today and will spend the next month researching this further. If, by then, we feel ready to ship them, we may include them too, along with a TBD EIP changing the blob count/target.

Here's the PR clarifying the scope for Pectra/Fusaka/Amsterdam: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8911

Pectra now includes:

- Increase in validator MAX_EFFECTIVE_BALANCE
- EIP-7702 (evolution of EIP-3074)
- BLS 12-381 precompile (finally!)
- EL-triggered validator exits
- Instant validator deposits (no 2k block follow distance!)

And other minor changes like storing block hashes in state, and changes to attestation and EL <> CL request formats.

Full recap for the call is available on EthMagicians 🧙‍♂️

There's also a stream (https://www.youtube.com/live/PWhn8KdgCl8 )and podcast version, courtesy of EthCatHerders 😸 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/1yymo1b1vaC8FjPeANsofl?si=egFz386dSSeJB2HS6t1a1Q&nd=1&dlsi=c5037ce229d54c3e)

We covered a *lot* on today's ACDE (yet somehow managed to finish 5m early 🧐): tons of implementations updates and, most importantly, clear next steps for the scope of Pectra & Fusaka!

Here are the highlights ✨

When I originally reached out to @vgr to work on all this, my rough mental model for the deliverable was "something like the breaking smart ebook, but for Ethereum" 😁

The scope ended up far larger, but in a weird way I think we got pretty close to that original vision. Long live the Protocol Kit 📒

"git merge" for AR

Catch @vgr and myself on the SoP forum today for an AMA ☀️

Adding Reminders to Apple Calendar is one of the best changes in iOS/MacOS of the past decade.

Closing off the first week of the Protocol Symposium ☀️

Protocol Symposium kicks off tomorrow ☀️

Will keep a running thread of the daily sessions here. @vgr and I will kick things off tomorrow with an overview of the SoP '24 research, future SoP plans, and how to participate throughout the week 😁

fwiw, this was probably my favorite ACDE this year 😄
