Proposal to add EIP-4758
Marius Van Der Wijden, one of the core Ethereum developer proposed Ethereum Improvement Proposal - 4758 for inclusion into Shanghai. He added that "It changes the semantics of the SELFDESTRUCT opcode and turns it into a SENDALL which sends the balance of the contract to a receiver. This EIP is a prerequisite to Verkle (and a bunch of other changes). It's very easy to implement and not hard to test, so I would love to see it in Shanghai."
(Formal) proposal to add EIP-4758 (Deactivate SELFDESTRUCT) to Shanghaihttps://t.co/ZgZaRBxu5QSeptember 26, 2022
KZG Ceremony update
These ceremonies are leading us to the protodanksharding or EIP 4844. Trent added that Ethereum will be using it to enable scalability. In a "rollup-centric" world, getting cheap data (EIP-4844) to rollups is important.
1/ For the past ~6 months, contributors have been building the KZG Ceremony, a pre-req for protodanksharding / EIP-4844
Hopefully, in 2 weeks we'll be collecting a community contribution from the mainstage audience at @EFDevcon! ?

20 validators slashed
As Ethereum progressed to the Proof of Stake mechanism, it introduced a series of rewards and penalties that validators are awarded with. Terence has shared a picture showing the slashing of 20 validators in just 3 hours due to attester equivocation.
RIP. 20 validators slashed over the last 3 hours due to attester equivocation. Can't find much info with the validator indices and deposit addresses. My guess is duplicated setups / forgot doppelganger detection pic.twitter.com/TJupDCle8jSeptember 23, 2022

Besu version 22.7.3 released
The 22.7.3 release is predominantly focused on post-Merge fixes for Ethereum Mainnet and is strongly recommended for those users.
