Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】The latest development updates on Ethereum’s consensus layer are worth paying attention to. The 171st core developer meeting on December 12th confirmed the key plan for the Glamsterdam upgrade—retaining trustless payments as part of the embedded proposer-builder separation (ePBS), while officially removing the fork choice mandatory inclusion list (FOCIL) feature. This marks another significant step forward for Ethereum in the direction of MEV governance.

More importantly, the Fusaka upgrade was successfully deployed to the mainnet on December 3rd, with network operation remaining stable. The subsequent blob parameter hard fork was smoothly activated on December 9th, further optimizing Layer 2 cost structures. These series of upgrades demonstrate that the development progress of the Ethereum ecosystem continues to operate efficiently.

The meeting also discussed several technical proposals including EIP 7688, EIP 8061, and EIP 8080. The team has already begun planning for the Heka upgrade scheduled for January next year. Notably, developers are also considering adopting star names that conform to the standards of the International Astronomical Union for the Heka upgrade, reflecting the community’s meticulous attention to detail. The continued refinement of the upgrade roadmap will further promote network performance and security enhancements.

Has ePBS been finalized? Does this mean Layer 2 gas fees are really going to be saved now? --- Fusaka is already up and running, this pace is faster than I expected. --- Another dev call, another upgrade. Is Ethereum aiming to eliminate all competitors with this pace? --- I'm curious about the specific reason for removing FOCIL, but anyway, it's heading in a good direction. --- Activating the blob parameter is the most practical progress so far; this is truly something that can reduce costs. --- Heka's plans for next year are already underway. It seems Ethereum isn't giving its competitors any chance in its own roadmap. --- Layer 2 cost optimizations keep improving. When will it truly become cheap enough for ordinary people to use? --- The core developer meetings are becoming more frequent. That's a good thing, but it’s a bit tiring. --- I still haven't memorized the name Glamsterdam; maybe just calling it by its function is better. --- If the ePBS plan is confirmed, will there be significant changes in the validator ecosystem?

ePBS has confirmed that the feeling isn't a big issue. So, how much gas fee can Fusaka save in this round? Is it really that exaggerated?

Is ePBS confirmed? Alright, more parameter adjustments again. How much can the L2 costs be reduced? Let's wait and see.

ePBS is set? Alright, looking forward to Fusaka really cutting costs Blob parameter activation this wave is solid, Layer2 can finally breathe a sigh of relief Removed FOCIL again... these developers really change their minds Heka upgrade next year? Let's fix the current bugs first How did they come up with the name Glamsterdam, sounds like a nightclub Another upgrade, and we have to wait for the ecosystem to catch up, so tiring Feels like every developer meeting is adding features, when will it truly go live

ePBS has been confirmed, and Layer2 costs need to be optimized again. The pace is really fast.
