Odaily News: Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko summarized the latest Ethereum Core Developer Meeting in Discord. Among them, developers agreed to continue using regular contracts with system write transactions instead of precompiles. Before the test call on Monday, developers will try to: (1) agree on deployment plans (as part of a fork or manually deploy before the fork); (2) agree on the initial contract implementation to be used; (3) submit a PR to the 4788 specification reflecting this situation. Once developers reach consensus on the contracts, the audit/formal verification process will be initiated.
It was decided in this meeting to postpone the release of Devnet #8 until the new 4788 specification is implemented.
Regarding EIP-6780, the "Addition of EIP-6780 explanation" will continue to be merged.
Regarding the Engine API, developers agreed to add blobGasUsed and blobGasPrice to the receipts of the 4844 transactions. The developers will also modify this PR to mention that the Dencun upgrade must use forkChoiceUpdateV3, and then merge it into "Clarify early API handling of Cancun payloads; reordering check #426."
Regarding the large validator testnet, the EF development team has launched a development network with 2.1 million validators, similar to the client distribution on the mainnet. They will collaborate with client teams to check and fix issues related to finalization and block gossip before Holesky's launch. Holesky is planned to have approximately 1.5 million validators.
In addition, developers introduced and discussed two account abstraction EIP proposals, namely EIP 5806 and 7377. Guillaume Ballet and Josh Rudolf presented the latest updates on Verkle.
