Ethereum ACDC Meeting 144: Developers agree to include EIP 7742 changes in Pectra

On October 18th, Galaxy Research Vice President Christine Kim summarized the 144th Ethereum Core Developer Consensus (ACDC) conference call. This week, developers discussed and coordinated modifications to the Ethereum Consensus Layer (CL). Developers agreed to add the EIP 7742 change to Pectra, allowing the beacon chain to dynamically set the network's target and maximum Blob Gas fee limit. EF developer and operations engineer Barnabas Busa stated that he plans to immediately shut down Pectra Devnet 3. Currently, Geth and Ethereum JS clients are ready, and the CL side of Lighthouse, Teku, and Nimbus clients are also ready.
