The 201st Ethereum ACDE meeting: EIP 7691 confirmed to be included in the Pectra upgrade

ChainCatcher news, Galaxy's Vice President of Research Christine Kim summarized the key points from the 201st Ethereum Core Developers Execution (ACDE) conference call:

1. The formal confirmation of Pectra's inclusion in EIP 7691 will double the blob capacity;
2. The EIP 7623, which increases calldata costs, has also been included;
3. The EIP 7762, which increases the minimum blob base fee, has not been included (more discussion may occur in the next ACD);
4. The EIP 7639, which stops providing historical records before the merge, and the EIP 5-4803, which limits transaction gas, may be related to Pectra and are pending further discussion (the former is purely a network change, while the latter is a retrospective EIP that will not change existing client behavior).

Additionally, two weeks ago, the Mekong testnet based on the Pectra Devnet 4 specification encountered significant issues, leading all client teams to release fixes. Mekong is now stable, and developers are focused on launching Devnet 5. Developers will discuss the timelines for Devnet 5 and 6 in the Pectra testing conference call next Monday.
