Ethereum's latest ACDE conference: Dencun upgrade went very smoothly! What are the improvements in the Pectra upgrade?

Yesterday, Ethereum core developers participated in the 183rd All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) conference call, which was hosted by developer Tim Beiko. At the meeting, developers reviewed the Dencun upgrade going live on mainnet and discussed proposed improvements that might be included in the next major Ethereum upgrade, Pectra.

Dencun upgrade went very smoothly and will continue to monitor reorganization issues

First of all, Tim Beiko said that the participation rate of Dencun briefly dropped from about 99% to 95% during the fork, but quickly after the fork Recovery, this may be caused by the operator forgetting to upgrade, he said happily: The fork process was very smooth, no major problems were observed..., more than two years of preparations ended very smoothly, once again, very, very congratulations to everyone who achieved this One goal team.

Prysm developer Terence Tsao shared that the network is processing new transactions and blobs faster than expected, without slowing down the Ethereum network as previously feared, but he noticed daily reorganizations of his nodes ( reorgs) increased slightly to 17 to 18 times from an average of 13-14 times before the upgrade. Reorganization occurs when a blockchain discards one or more blocks and replaces them with newly discovered blocks. This is part of the normal operation of the blockchain network. In this regard, Tim Beiko said: Although the number of observed reorganizations is increased, but did not appear to be longer than usual. Most reorganizations are one-block reorganizations, and teams will continue to monitor these situations.

Tim Beiko also reminded that with the completion of Dencun, the Goerli test network will be officially closed next month.

Pectra Upgrade Discussion

Next, we will discuss the upcoming major update of Ethereum: Pectra upgrade, which covers two upgrades, Prague and Electra. The development team is working on some new proposals (EIPs, or Ethereum Improvement Proposals) that will bring new changes to the upgrade, including:

• EIP2537: This proposal is like It adds a super toolbox to Ethereum, allowing developers to create more secure and faster decentralized applications (dapps). Specifically, it provides 9 new precompiled instructions that are built directly into the Ethereum runtime environment rather than implemented through smart contracts. This proposal has been included in the Pectra upgrade scope. During the meeting, Alex Stokes, the author of the proposal, asked whether precompilation should be added to take compression points as input and decompress them. This may be useful for L2 and other data-restricted users.

• EIP3074: This proposal focuses on improving the flexibility and programmability of user accounts, similar to the interactive experience of smart contract wallets. Simply put, it allows ordinary user accounts (i.e. externally owned accounts, EOA) to authorize transactions through smart contracts. This is like adding a smart assistant to your wallet. This assistant can help you manage transactions and even transfer control to a safer place to reduce the risk of theft.

• EIP7547: This proposal proposes a concept called "inclusionlists" to control and manage MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) infrastructure over the next few years. develop. It is like adding a filter to Ethereum to ensure that the network is more fair and efficient when processing transactions.

• EIP7623: Reduce the maximum block size of the Ethereum mainnet by increasing the cost of calldata. The purpose of this proposal is to encourage the use of blobs, a new storage method introduced by the Dencun upgrade, because this method is cheaper than the existing one. This is like telling everyone: "If you don't need so much space to store data, don't use so much, use a more economical way!"

• EIP7645: Finally, this proposal wants to rename the ORIGIN opcode to SENDER to solve the problem of misuse of this opcode by developers.

This ACDE#183 meeting not only provided a successful review of the Dencun upgrade, but also discussed possible improvement proposals for future Pectra upgrades, showing the Ethereum community's commitment to continuous innovation and optimization of the network. Promise of.
