, Galaxy Vice President of Research Christine Kim summarizes the 181st Ethereum Core Developer Executive (ACDE) conference call, where developers shared updates on their preparations for the mainnet activation of the Dencun upgrade and also discussed various Ethereum improvement proposals (EIP), most of which are proposed to be included in the Pectra upgrade, while others are proposed as "retroactive" EIPs, meaning changes to the protocol rules will be retroactively applied to all Ethereum transactions since creation.
The developers also agreed to include EIP 2537 in Pectra, which adds BLS12-381 curve precompilation. In addition, preparations for the shadow fork of the Dencun upgrade are in progress, with the goal of completing mainnet activation before March 13.
