    Execution Layer Meeting 243 [2026-08-13] | ACDE 243

    This was Execution meeting #243 on August 13th focused on DevNet 8 updates and EIP proposals for the upcoming Glasgow (Glas) and Hagada forks. Barnabas reported that DevNet 8 (PlatoBerget) launched recently with growth activation planned for the following week, and the Glasgow fork would go live on Thursday at 7:50 AM UTC. Joachim presented final gas repricing results, confirming that broadcast limits could be safely raised to 200 million gas (three times the current limit) without requiring re-release of client specifications. The team discussed EIP 8061 for introducing a new gas limit configuration parameter to allow staged increases, which was approved by consensus layer clients. Kev discussed history expiry requirements for 2TB node operators, with most clients planning to drop history to approximately 5 months or fork minus one. The meeting then moved through 17 EIP proposals for Hagada, covering topics including linear page-based memory costing, refund removal, call-up code optimization, net gas metering for account changes, and precompiles for post-quantum cryptography. The final major discussion centered on Native Account (AA) implementation, where there was debate between EIP 8130 and 8141, with concerns raised about EIP 8141’s impact on L2s and potential incompatibilities across the ecosystem.

    Consensus Layer Meeting 184 [2026-08-06] | ACDC 184

    The conversation covers various topics related to DevNet updates, beacon API PR, and distributed blob space reconstruction. It also discusses the implementation of quick slots and the proposal for tapered issuance bond. The conversation covers the presentation of EIP 8363 called Tappered Issuance Burn, which aims to remove the issuance mechanisms incentive for stake growth once the staking ratio exceeds 50%. The proposal's primary goal is to prevent 50% of the supply from being at stake with the current trend. Takeaways DevNet updates and discussions on beacon API PR are crucial for the Ethereum network's development.The implementation of distributed blob space reconstruction aims to distribute the reconstruction process and reduce CPU load on supernodes.The proposal for tapered issuance bond is a significant topic that requires further discussion and consideration.
