Summary

Started with an overview of pectra-devnet-4

Devnet is going well; a few minor open issues but under review by the relevant client teams


Then, turned to pectra-devnet-5

Addressed some open PRs that are in a place to merge into the specs

Networking attestation support: Separate type for unaggregated network attestations by arnetheduck · Pull Request #3900 · ethereum/consensus-specs · GitHub
Update to networking timeouts: p2p: Deprecate TTFB, RESP_TIMEOUT, introduce rate limiting recommenda… by arnetheduck · Pull Request #3767 · ethereum/consensus-specs · GitHub


Did a temperature check on the updates to the requests structure in the communication b/t the CL and EL; work is under way
Turned to an open question around the blob base fee computation as we change the blob target, which becomes relevant with EIP-7742 and the intent to raise the blob target in Pectra

There are a spectrum of options here with an “endgame” solution that would be somewhat involved relative to the current EIP-7742 specification
Agreed to go with a middle ground solution so that we don’t delay Pectra and still have a similar amount of responsiveness to the blob base fee


Then discussed a bug fix to the consolidation flow under EIP-7251; PTAL: eip7251: Add missed exit checks to consolidation processing by mkalinin · Pull Request #4000 · ethereum/consensus-specs · GitHub
Asked for updates around the EIP-2537 gas benchmarking; but no one working on that was on the call


And then turned to PeerDAS and blob scaling

peerdas-devnet-3 had a 100k slot reorg; the devnet has been deprecated
No one working on that devnet was on the call, but investigation is ongoing
Next, raised the point to go ahead and formally place EIP-7594 into the fulu specs

No opposition on the call; although, there’s a question around how to isolate PeerDAS testing from Osaka testing on the EL




Then turned to longer-term R&D

New proposal to introduce execution layer requests for withdrawal credential updates: Add EIP: Withdrawal Credential Update Request by lucassaldanha · Pull Request #9005 · ethereum/EIPs · GitHub
Probelab had a quick update around some upcoming network bandwidth analysis via crawling of the disv5 network; expect results soon.


And concluded with an announcement of the launch of the mekong public testnet, based off of pectra-devnet-4 intending for public preview of the upcoming Pectra hard fork
