Ethereum Developers Complete Pectra Upgrade, Plan Fusaka Testnet Launch

The 157th Ethereum All Core Developers Call (ACDC) highlighted several key developments, including the completion of the Pectra upgrade. Core developer Trent summarized the technical feedback, encouraging the community to continue submitting feedback through "Pectra Pages." Pari analyzed the impact of adding blob data, which is a significant step in the network's evolution.

Regarding the Fusaka testnet, the peerdas-devnet-7 is running smoothly. Client teams are actively developing BPO support, with plans to launch fusaka-devnet-0 on May 26. This upcoming testnet will include PeerDAS, BPO, and MODEXP Gas Cost Increase EIP. Additionally, the Validator Custody Specification was discussed on Discord, indicating ongoing efforts to refine and improve the network's security and functionality.

The ACDC meeting also addressed plans to reorganize the meeting structure. The ACDT will focus on the current fork (N), while ACDE/C will concentrate on the next fork (N+1). This reorganization aims to promote community participation and EIP end-to-end tracking. The new structure is designed to lock in core features by early July, with the remaining small EIPs to be integrated later. This approach ensures that the network can evolve efficiently while maintaining stability and security.
