Ethereum Developers Discuss Potential Upgrades in Latest Meeting

According to Foresight News, Galaxy Research Vice President Christine Kim summarized the 198th Ethereum Core Developers Execution (ACDE) call. This week, developers discussed EIP 7782 and 7783, which might be included in the upcoming Pectra upgrade. EIP 7782 proposes reducing slot time from 12 seconds to 8 seconds, while EIP 7783 suggests a new mechanism to increase the block gas fee limit. Developers have not yet decided whether to include these mechanisms in Pectra or future upgrades. The deadline for submitting Pectra system contract audit proposals is October 11, with accepted proposals to be confirmed by October 22 at the latest. Developers have decided to include the EIP 6110 update in Devnet 4. They also agreed to aim for the launch of Pectra Devnet 4 before the next core developers consensus (ACDC) call on October 17. Additionally, developers are considering names for the public Pectra testnet. Community members have suggested several names, including MooDeng and Khlong.
