The 171st Ethereum consensus layer core developer meeting confirmed that the Glamsterdam upgrade will retain the trust payment function.

According to Christine Kim's summary of the 171st Ethereum Consensus Layer Core Developers Meeting (ACDC), the meeting primarily discussed: retaining TrustPay as part of the embedded Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS) in the Glamsterdam upgrade, while officially removing the Fork Selection Mandatory Include List (FOCIL) feature. Furthermore, the Fusaka upgrade successfully launched on the mainnet on December 3rd, and the subsequent blob parameter hard fork was successfully activated on December 9th, with stable network operation. The meeting also discussed proposals such as EIP 7688, 8061, and 8080, and plans to begin planning the Heka upgrade in January next year, while also considering renaming it to conform to the standards of the International Astronomical Union.
