Ethereum ACDC meeting 171 reviews Glamsterdam ePBS design, confirms Fusaka and blob fork status
Ethereum core developers at the 171st ACDC consensus call on December 12 agreed to retain trusted payments in the embedded proposer-builder separation (ePBS) design for the Glamsterdam upgrade while formally dropping the fork-choice enforced inclusion list (FOCIL) feature, according to a summary by Christine Kim. The call noted that the Fusaka upgrade went live on mainnet on December 3 and that a subsequent blob parameter hard fork was successfully activated on December 9, with the network operating stably. Participants also discussed proposals EIP-7688, EIP-8061 and EIP-8080, and outlined plans to begin organizing the Heka upgrade in January 2025, including consideration of renaming it to comply with International Astronomical Union star designation standards.
