• Fusaka upgrade:

  • Ideally upgrade mainnet before Devconnect (November 17-22). Confirm upgrade schedule & testnet order at ACDC

  • EIP7825 16.8M transaction gas limit cap: concerns on breaking some apps, decide if increase needed at ACDT

  • PeerDAS balance per additional custody group: home & fractional staking concerns, decide if increase needed in Fusaka at ACDC

• Glamsterdam upgrade:

  • Consensus layer headliner short list (from last ACDC): EIP7732 ePBS, EIP7782 6-second slots, EIP7805 FOCIL

  • EIP7928 Block-level Access Lists set to Considered for Inclusion (CFI), likely execution layer headliner if ACDC choose EIP7732 ePBS as consensus layer headliner

• Fusaka upgrade:

  • Fusaka-devnet-3 live: testing MEV-Boost & EIP7892 blob parameter only upgrades

  • EIP7910 eth_config: spec refined

• EIP7732 ePBS:

  • Terence: in defense of free option problem

• EIP7805 FOCIL:

  • FOCIL breakout #16: ePBS compatibility presentation

  • FOCIL changes in Execution Layer & compatibility with EIP7928 Block-level Access Lists

• Code chunk analysis: breaking up bytecode into smaller chunks is a viable option to reduce witness size as only small proportion of bytes & chunks are used

• EthStaker staking survey results: 23% genesis stakers, 60% run 1-5 validators with own capital, 27% run validators rather than liquid staking to benefit the network

• Client diversity:

  • Consensus layer: Lighthouse 42.7%

  • Execution layer: Geth ~41%, Nethermind ~38% (estimated from 74% self reported)

• Staking marketshare: Lido 24.8%

• Client releases:

  • Consensus layer

    • Grandine 1.1.2: 45M default gas limit & optimizations

    • Nimbus v25.7.1: fixes potential syncing-related crash

    • Teku 25.7.1: 45M default gas limit

  • Execution layer

    • Erigon

• Linea tokenomics: plan to burn ETH (20% of net income gas fees)

• Julian Ma: in-protocol prover market proposal, builders deposit a prize whilst building a block, anyone who submits a proof can claim a share of the prize in the next slot
