Ethereum Developers Outline Key Updates and EIP 7742 Implementation During 144th Core Developer Call

On October 18, COINOTAG reported on key developments from the 144th Ethereum Core Developer Consensus (ACDC) conference call, led by Christine Kim, vice president of Galaxy Research. This session focused on important modifications to the Ethereum **Consensus Layer (CL)**. A significant decision emerged as developers proposed the integration of **EIP 7742** changes into Pectra, enhancing the beacon chain’s capacity to dynamically adjust the network’s **target** and **maximum Blob Gas fee limit**. Barnabas Busa, an engineer with **Ethereum Foundation Developer Operations**, announced the immediate discontinuation of Pectra Devnet 3. Moreover, the core clients, including **Geth** and **Ethereum JS**, along with CL clients such as **Lighthouse**, **Teku**, and **Nimbus**, are fully prepared for these updates. These technical advancements underscore ongoing enhancements in Ethereum’s scalability and operational efficiency.
