Odaily News Tomasz K. Stańczak, executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, released an important clarification on the EOF debate, saying that there is a major controversy over EOF, but there is a key misunderstanding that needs to be clearly resolved: the current EOF discussion has nothing to do with the upcoming Pectra upgrade on May 7. The Pectra upgrade does not include EOF and is not intended to include EOF. All content of Pectra will be released as planned on May 7. CoinDesk previously reported that the Ethereum "EVM Object Format (EOF)" improvement proposal has been included in the Pectra hard fork, which is expected to be executed later this year or early next year. The EOF proposal will make a series of minor changes to upgrade the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). EOF will make smart contracts more developer-friendly, especially for those who use the Solidity or Vyper programming languages to build decentralized applications, but may break existing smart contracts. Developers have added a new version that allows DApp builders to choose which version of EVM to use when deploying code.
