Ethereum Core Devs May Scale Down Glamsterdam Upgrade to Meet Mid-Year Rollout
Ethereum consensus layer core developers may need to significantly scale down the Glamsterdam upgrade to meet a mid-year rollout, Christine D. Kim summarized on X from the 173rd meeting on January 23, BlockBeats reports. If EIP-7732 fails to deliver an interoperable version by the end of February, it will be considered for removal from Glamsterdam and deferred to a future hard fork. Consensys Teku client found node performance issues during mainnet stress testing, which are affecting progress. The discussion also noted that EIP-7928 requires small-scale client API review, Headliner EIP proposals for the Hegota upgrade are due by February 4, and some client teams have completed preliminary EIP-7688 library update work.
