On March 22nd, Christine Kim, the Vice President of Galaxy Research, summarized the 130th Ethereum Core Developer Consensus (ACDC) conference call, during which developers discussed and coordinated changes to the Ethereum consensus layer (CL). This week, developers discussed prominent action items related to the Dencun upgrade, the Pectra upgrade proposal, and improvements to the Ethereum network layer. Developers agreed to include EIP 7251 (increasing max_effective_balance) in Pectra and continue studying EIP 7547 (including lists) for possible inclusion in the upgrade. Among them, Danny Ryan, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, emphasized two major proposals, EIP 7251 and EIP 7547, when discussing Pectra code changes, and emphasized the urgency of making decisions. He pointed out that the team needs to make a decision before the end of March in order to achieve the functional prototype and development network of Electra in May. In addition, the meeting also discussed two draft proposals for light client development, including the synchronization committee penalty and light client data backfill components. The meeting solicited the opinions of the CL client team on these components, especially the impact of EIP 7251 (increasing max_effective_balance) on the punishment conditions for large validators participating in the synchronization committee.
