Ethereum Foundation has released its latest development update, indicating steady progress in the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade. According to Foresight News, while the implementation of ePBS (protocol-level PBS) is complex, the related development network is stabilizing, and the block-level access lists (BALs) development network is advancing smoothly. The current goal is to launch the first generalized Glamsterdam development network next week if the ePBS development network remains stable, followed by client releases, security audits, and test network testing. Additionally, EIP-7954, aimed at increasing the maximum contract size, is likely to be prioritized.
The subsequent Hegotá upgrade has selected FOCIL (EIP-7805) as the core feature for the consensus layer, while the proposal for account abstraction (AA), EIP-8141, remains in a pending introduction (CFI) status due to lack of consensus. Non-core feature proposals for Hegotá were initiated on April 9. Regarding the network gas limit, the current benchmark target is set at 60 million, with higher limit testing ongoing. As for the upgrade timeline, Glamsterdam is unlikely to go live in the second quarter, and the progress of Hegotá will largely depend on the completion of the former.#Ethereum #Glamsterdam #ePBS #BALs #EIP7954 #Hegotá #FOCIL #EIP7805 #AccountAbstraction #EIP8141 #Blockchain #Crypto #Upgrade #Development #ETH
