Ethereum Core Developers Discuss Key Updates in Latest Meeting

According to Odaily, the 143rd Ethereum Consensus Layer Core Developers Meeting (ACDC) recently took place, focusing on several significant updates and discussions. The meeting covered updates on Pectra Devnet 3, preparations for Pectra Devnet 4, PeerDAS Devnet issues, the implementation of 'engine_getBlobsV1,' and discussions on increasing blob throughput. The developers are actively debugging Pectra Devnet 3, while preparations for Pectra Devnet 4 include simplifying EL-triggered requests for CL parsing. PeerDAS Devnet is facing challenges in achieving finality, potentially requiring a restart. The implementation of 'engine_getBlobsV1' aims to assist low-bandwidth validators in proposing blocks promptly, with all client teams prioritizing this task. Additionally, there were discussions on increasing blob throughput, with some developers suggesting an initial increase in blob target numbers, followed by adjustments based on analysis. Most developers also support EIP 7742, which proposes decoupling CL and EL blob counts.
