PANews January 23 News, according to Christine D. Kim’s summary of the 173rd Ethereum Consensus Layer Core Developer Meeting (ACDC), developers have gained a sober understanding: in order to launch the Glamsterdam upgrade before mid-year, they may need to significantly reduce its scope. Currently, developers have not explicitly acknowledged a clear mismatch between the planned scope and the proposed timeline for the Glamsterdam upgrade. They only admit that such issues might exist and have stated that if they do, they will resolve the problem by the end of February.
The meeting specifically discussed that if EIP 7732 cannot achieve an interoperable version by the end of February, it may be removed from Glamsterdam and postponed to a future hard fork. Additionally, other progress updates were shared: Consensys’ Teku client team reported node performance issues discovered during mainnet stress testing, which are being fixed, slowing down their progress on Glamsterdam; EIP 7928 requires minor API change reviews for consensus layer clients; the submission deadline for the Hegota upgrade’s Headliner EIP proposal is February 4; some client teams have completed preliminary work on library updates supporting EIP-7688.
