117th Ethereum ACDC meeting: Devnet #9 is expected to launch on September 19th.
BlockBeats reported on September 8th that Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy, summarized the 117th Ethereum Core Developer Consensus Meeting (ACDC), which discussed issues such as Dencun testing, EIP 4844 blob parameterization, SSZ StableContainer proposal, and limiting validator churn.
Regarding Dencun testing, developers are continuing to test the Cancun/Deneb (Dencun) upgrade on Devnet #8, and have agreed to delay the release of Devnet #9 by one week, to September 19th.
Developers are considering increasing the maximum target blob count from 2/4 to 3/6.
Etan Kissling, a developer for the Nimbus (CL) client, is working to upgrade Ethereum's data structure to a new serialization format called SSZ. He named this upgrade method "StableContainer" and formatted it as a formal Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP).
