Highlights of Ethereum Devs Call

Consensus-layer Call 144 covered key updates on Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade. Discussions focused on Electra devnets, including security benefits tied to EIP-7549 raised by Alex Stokes, while Erico Del Fante and Sean debated potential DoS vulnerabilities. There was also a deep dive into PR 3767, but it may be delayed due to its size.

The call further explored blob scaling with Francis, Terence, and Enrico, who highlighted the benefits of increased blob capacity for Layer 2. EIP-7742 is seeing delays due to complexity, but Stokes and Barbanas discussed pushing implementation. EIP-7782 proposed a gradual gas increase, which sparked debate on performance and finality concerns.
