Christine Kim, Vice President of Galaxy Research, summarized the 197th Ethereum Core Developer Executive (ACDE) conference call to discuss and coordinate changes to the Ethereum Executive Layer (EL). On ACDE 197, developers have agreed to advance Pectra upgrades within a limited scope, currently only including 8 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) on Devnet 3. They also agreed that a set of four EIPs related to the Ethereum blob fee market may be included in Pectra during the upgrade planning process. Vitalik expressed support for increasing blob capacity in Pectra, but other developers have expressed opposition, and there is currently no consensus. Other blob related EIPs include EIP 7762 (increasing MIN-BASE-FEE_PER-BLOB_GAS), EIP 7623 (increasing call data costs), and EIP 7742 (separating blob counts between CL and EL).
As for the scope of the next Ethereum hard fork, Beiko confirmed that the next upgrade after Pectra will indeed be named Fusaka and will include PeerDAS and EOF. Fusaka may add other EIPs, but only if the implementation of these two EIPs can make further progress. Finally, Beiko stated that she will open a new EIP for EL upgrade after Osaka, named "Amsterdam", and will continue the original EIP considered for inclusion in Osaka, namely Verkle, into the new Amsterdam EIP.
