216th Ethereum ACDE Meeting Decision to Remove EIP 7907 from the Fusaka Upgrade

According to ChainCatcher, meeting minutes summarized by Christine Kim for the 216th Ethereum Execution Layer Core Developer Meeting (ACDE) show that developers today decided to remove EIP 7907 from the Fusaka upgrade. This means that, for the foreseeable future, there will be no changes to the size limit of Ethereum smart contract code.

A version of this EIP may be reintroduced for the Glamsterdam hard fork, but there is no guarantee it will be included in the next hard fork.

Additionally, Tim Beiko shared a possible timeline for Fusaka’s mainnet launch at the meeting. The proposed schedule is as follows: 1. Client public testnet release: the week of August 25; 2. First public testnet upgrade: between September 22 and October 3; 3. Second testnet upgrade: October 6 to 10. In addition, developers plan to launch Fusaka Devnet-3 on July 23.

Regarding the Glamsterdam hard fork, developers have generally reached consensus on the planned implementations. However, they are still discussing several key issues about how the fork will specifically implement the “proposer-builder separation solidification mechanism” and “block-level access lists.”

After further soliciting feedback from the broader Ethereum community, developers plan to make a final decision on the core code changes for the Glamsterdam upgrade within the next two to four weeks.
