Weekly Ethereum Research Report (2026-06-15 ~ 2026-06-19)

TL;DR

  • Bottom line: ACDE #239 put Glamsterdam and Hegota on the agenda together, tying EIP-8282's entry into Considered, the Hegota PFI bundle, 6 Lido Snapshots, Erigon v3.4.4, and SSZ Engine API #1 into one week.
  • Numbers: Over the 12 minutes from 6/18 14:40~14:52 UTC, commits landed for EIP-2780, EIP-8038, and EIP-8037, while the 6/18 forkcast dump recovered to 148 entries.
  • Action: Operators should prioritize upgrading to Erigon v3.4.4 and Besu 26.5.0 or higher, tracking LIP-33/LIP-35 results, and following the 6/26 SSZ Engine API Breakout #1.

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. HIGH ACDE #239 (6/18) carried a joint "Glamsterdam · Hegota" agenda -- closing a 14-day ACDE gap, adding EIP-8282 to Glamsterdam Considered, and triggering a 12-minute multi-EIP commit burst right after the call.

    자세히 읽기

    6/18 14:00 UTC ACDE #239 issue 2115 (facilitator @nixorokish, 90 minutes) closed the 14-day gap since ACDE #238 (6/4), and put Glamsterdam EL scoping and Hegota EL scoping on the same agenda. The core item was the new entry of EIP-8282 'Builder Execution Requests' into Glamsterdam Considered. After ACDT #83 concluded that the EIP-8254 simple deposit cap was insufficient, ACDE #239 adopted a separate contract-deployment path based on EIP-7685 request types 0x03/0x04. However, Considered is a review stage, not confirmation of inclusion. The call also covered EIP-7928 BAL State-Access Restructuring, the proposal to add EIP-8189 "snap/2 - BAL-Based State Healing" to the Glamsterdam networking section, new Hegota PFI agenda items for EIP-8304 'Trustless log and transaction index' PFI and EIP-2488 CALLCODE deprecation PFI, and feedback on mempool encryption EIP-8105/EIP-8184. On 6/17, commit 37c28f7 added EIP-8131 (Unified Transaction Content Floor), EIP-8146, and EIP-8250 to the PFI list in the EIP-8081 Hegota Meta EIP body, making it first clearly visible that the Hegota EIP candidate set had expanded from a single item (EIP-4758) to 4. EIP-8131 was published on 6/15 and then had its spec fully rewritten in commit cf5b8d9 on 6/17; 'Unified' points to a possible combined floor across calldata + storage writes + initial-actor slot writes. This forms the third-generation track from EIP-1559 → EIP-7623 → EIP-7976 → EIP-8131. Immediately after the call, in the 12-minute window from 14:40~14:52 UTC, commits landed consecutively for EIP-2780 (55fda83, full rewrite as "resource-based intrinsic transaction gas"), EIP-8038 (803ee8d, preliminary numbers added), and EIP-8037 (bee14641, EIP-7928 BAL conflict resolution + state-gas refund origin routing). This is a rare case of call decisions being reflected in the spec immediately, and a signal that the Glamsterdam "gas calculation model realignment" bundle is converging at call cadence.

  2. HIGH Lido saw a simultaneous burst of 6 active Snapshots (LIP-35 + LIP-33 + Simple DVT Wind Down + Galaxy v1→v2) plus a 6/25 Community Call announcement -- making the curated operator entry matrix visible in earnest and moving 0x02 credential operations into productionization.

    자세히 읽기

    On 6/15, the LIP-35 SRv3 Snapshot (14:57 UTC, 4th day after 6/15 posting) and LIP-33 CMv2/CSMv3 Snapshot (11:51 UTC, 4th day after 6/15 posting) were posted. LIP-35 reorganizes the Lido Core routing layer and integrated routing across the Curated/CSM/SimpleDVT modules through Staking Router v3. LIP-33 explicitly adopts the 0x02 withdrawal credential and enters EIP-7251 compounding validator operationalization. The key point is consolidated operation of up to 2048 ETH under a single key. The Simple DVT Module Wind Down 72 regular cluster posted on 6/12 matches the hypothesis of a phased shutdown of the existing SimpleDVT track and a transition to IDVTC + cSSV. The first Galaxy NO Curated v1→v2 migration case posted on 6/12 foreshadows the same migration pattern for other Curated operators (~37). Nemo Director and wstETH bridge revoke also remained 7th-day items after 6/12 posting, with wstETH bridge revoke covering revocation of bridge permissions across 9 chains. As a result, the simultaneous rework package across the three Curated/CSM/SimpleDVT modules became visible in earnest; LIP-33/LIP-35 are estimated to close on 6/22, and the four items posted on 6/12 reached their first close-candidate window on day 7. On 6/18 04:59 UTC, @LidoFinance 2067472274 announced the 6/25 Lido Community Call. The agenda is "what's next for Lido staking modules", "Lido's recent Web3SOC certification", and "guest sessions on client diversity". These point respectively to post-result follow-up for LIP-33/LIP-35 plus visibility into the Curated v2 migration roadmap, an institutional trust signal [Web3SOC definition/issuer/scope requires further verification], and an NO-side client-diversity policy baseline. A 7-day connected governance burst window formed from this week, day 4 after Snapshot posting, into next week, 6 days before the Community Call. The research team's entry matrix is reinforced across three windows: July post-case learning from Galaxy, Period 1.5 in October-December, and after full CMv1 termination in 2027 Q1. Daily channels (blog/research) had no new posts across all of W25 for the 7th day, but Snapshot/Twitter channels burst. This is the first confirmation of a dual governance-channel structure, and Snapshot-channel priority should be raised into SOP.

  3. HIGH New infra trio -- Erigon v3.4.4 'Splashing Saga' emergency patch for post-reorg gas mismatch + Rocket Pool Smart Node v1.20.4 Flashbots close option + SSZ Engine API Breakout #1 (6/26) confirmed — late-June operations-stack realignment cycle.

    자세히 읽기

    On 6/18 19:28 UTC, @ErigonEth 2067690980 announced the Erigon v3.4.4 "Splashing Saga" bugfix release. The content is "Another post-reorg gas used mismatch case, by pruning the in-RAM overlay", fixing a gas accounting mismatch after chain reorgs on v3.4.3 and below. It is recommended for all node operators. In the v3.4.x series, state-management bugs were found consecutively from the v3.4.1 segfault to the v3.4.4 gas mismatch, suggesting a structural review is underway, and the 28-day client-release gap also ended. On 6/17 21:01 UTC, @Rocket_Pool 2067352014 announced Rocket Pool Smart Node v1.20.4 high-priority. The core items are immediate response for minipool operators, client updates, bug fixes, and a new option to close minipools through Flashbots. This is the first external LST case using a private orderflow path, and the possibility of the same option being introduced on the Lido SimpleDVT/Curated side should be monitored. On 6/18, ethereum/pm PR #2127 created the SSZ Engine API call series, alongside PR #2125 adding RazorClient/Tamaghna membership. On 6/19, ethereum/pm #2132 and ethereum-magicians 28832 confirmed the first official call for 6/26 13:00 UTC. This is the first official coordination for the REST-SSZ Engine API layer's spec/tests/implementation, and it enters the track of overhauling serialization for core messages such as newPayload/forkchoiceUpdated. Impact is expected for JSON-based block explorers and MEV relay infrastructure. This week's call cluster totaled 5: ACDT #83 and RPC Standards #28 on 6/15, FOCIL Breakout #36 on 6/16, PQI #44 on 6/17, and ACDE #239 on 6/18. Besu CVE-2026-34480/34478 remains unpatched for 29+ days (HIGH ongoing), and accumulating security exposure for nodes below 26.5.0 directly maps to slashing risk for staking operators.

1. Roadmap / Upgrade Change Highlights

ACDE #239 handled "Glam · Hegotá" as a joint agenda and closed a 14-day ACDE gap

Agenda Result / Status Source
EIP-8282 CFI (ePBS builder deposit scheme) New entry into Glamsterdam Considered ACDE #239 + 6/19 forkcast dump
Proposal to add EIP-8189 "snap/2 - BAL-Based State Healing" to the Glamsterdam networking section Draft (not listed in any fork) ACDE #239 agenda
EIP-7928 BAL State-Access Restructuring discussion Glamsterdam Scheduled reaffirmed ACDE #239 + 6/18 bee14641
EIP-8037 status + EIP-7904 Compute Gas Cost presentation Glamsterdam Scheduled (8037) / Considered (7904) ACDE #239
Hegota EIP-8304 PFI (Trustless log and transaction index) Newly listed as PFI (no forkcast stage assigned) ACDE #239 agenda
Hegota EIP-2488 PFI (CALLCODE deprecation) Newly listed as PFI ACDE #239 agenda
Mempool encryption EIP-8105 / EIP-8184 feedback Feedback stage ACDE #239
  • The first ACDE of the week after a 14-day gap ended the longest gap since ACDE #238 (6/4), and handled Glam EL scoping and Hegota EL scoping on the same agenda. This is the first case where the Hegota track entered the main ACDE agenda in earnest.
  • The call notes body had not yet been published as of 6/19, so decisions should be checked during the 6/19~21 publication window.

The 12-minute multi-EIP commit burst after the call suggests faster spec convergence

Time (UTC) EIP Commit Change Summary Fork Stage
6/18 14:40 EIP-2780 55fda83 Fully rewritten as "Resource-based intrinsic transaction gas" (decomposes the 21k default) Glamsterdam Considered (acde/226, 2025-12-18)
6/18 14:45 EIP-8038 803ee8d Preliminary numbers added (STORAGE_WRITE +257%, etc.) Glamsterdam Considered (acde/226, 2025-12-18)
6/18 14:52 EIP-8037 bee14641 EIP-7928 BAL conflict resolved + state-gas refund origin routing redefined Glamsterdam Scheduled (acde/236, 2026-05-07)
  • After the call ended at 14:00 UTC, commits for three EIPs followed over the 12 minutes from 14:40~14:52 UTC. The commit sequence makes explicit that the three EIPs are a Glamsterdam "gas calculation model realignment" bundle, and this is interpreted as the first clear example of a pattern where call decisions are immediately reflected in specs (HIGH confidence).
  • The differentiated research topic card is "Glamsterdam gas model realignment bundle: precise decoding of EIP-7928 BAL + EIP-8037 state-gas + EIP-2780 resource-based intrinsic + EIP-8038 state-access". There are 0 Korean-language comprehensive analyses of this spec convergence analysis.

Hegota track expansion from single item to 10+ items was the largest roadmap change this week

Stage 6/15 (Mon) 6/19 (Fri) Delta
Scheduled -- EIP-7805 FOCIL +1 new (moved from the Glamsterdam Declined track to Hegota Scheduled)
Considered -- EIP-8141 +1 new (Frame TX)
Proposed EIP-4758 (1 item, alone for 25 days) EIP-4758, 7645, 7709, 7716, 8025, EIP-8148, EIP-8182, EIP-8188, EIP-8205, 8253 (10 items) +9 new
Withdrawn -- EIP-8105 +1 (mempool encryption)
Declined -- 7807, EIP-8184 +2
PFI (meta EIP body) -- EIP-8131 + EIP-8146 + EIP-8250 + EIP-8304 + EIP-2488 +5 new (no forkcast stage assigned, awaiting ACDE adoption)
  • On 6/17, commit 37c28f7 added EIP-8131/EIP-8146/EIP-8250 to the PFI list in the EIP-8081 Hegota Meta EIP body. The PFI bundle was formally listed right before ACDE #239, and this is the first clear signal that the Hegota EIP candidate set expanded from a single item to 4.
  • On 6/17, commit cf5b8d9 fully rewrote EIP-8131 'Unified Transaction Content Floor'. It formed a 3-day flow from 6/15 publication, to 6/17 spec reconstruction, to 6/17 PFI listing, to 6/18 ACDE. 'Unified' is interpreted as a possible integrated floor for calldata + storage writes + initial-actor slot writes (when combined with the EIP-8130 policy clarification + slot-writes charging commit).
  • A third-generation floor track formed from EIP-1559 base fee → EIP-7623 calldata cost increase (Pectra Included) → EIP-7976 calldata floor (Glamsterdam Scheduled) → EIP-8131 unified content floor.
  • EIP-7805 FOCIL surfaced in this week's forkcast dump as Hegota Scheduled after being treated as Glamsterdam Declined at acde/227 in January. This confirms that the FOCIL track was retargeted from Glamsterdam to Hegota, and it is also consistent with the restart of FOCIL Breakout #36 on 6/16 after 14 days.

New EIPs / retry tracks accumulated post-Pectra Privacy/AA/Index tracks

EIP Source Track / Meaning
EIP-8304 'Trustless log and transaction index' 6/17 ethereum-magicians #28824 Draft "much simpler" retry track for the same project as EIP-7745 (acde/227 2026-01-05 Glamsterdam Declined) — listed as Hegota PFI at ACDE #239 — directly tied to EL client RPC performance (log index change)
EIP-8130 AA direction refinement 6/18 0b95b99 + ec10dd9 (i) self-actor secp256k1 setting stored inline in an account-state slot, (ii) default-EOA revocation folded into a state flag — post-EIP-7702 EOA→AA path — state-tree cost reduction for an account-configuration-based AA model
Block Access List Byte Floor (number TBD draft) 6/18 11:03 UTC ea5fef0 EIP-7928 BAL follow-up / sister proposal — may supplement gas/size constraints for the Glamsterdam BAL package
EIP-8189 "snap/2 - BAL-Based State Healing" ACDE #239 agenda (Draft) Signal that EIP-7928 BAL is expanding from a single EIP into a wire-protocol (snap/2, eth/71) family

2. EIP Status Changes (Monday 6/15 vs Friday 6/19)

Data integrity signal: this week the Forkcast dump went through a 3-day sawtooth → full-scale restoration cycle: 6/12 14 entries → 6/15 19 entries → 6/16 14 entries → 6/18 148 entries (+134 jump). The 6/15 dump was a partial fetch only for EIPs at or below 6466, and the 6/16 dump was a partial fetch at or below 6188. Therefore, the 6/18 baseline (148 entries) is adopted as this week's official baseline, and the 6/15 baseline is downgraded due to the history-fetch range limit. Since most surface changes are byproducts of dump-build normalization, the cross-check result isolating only substantive stage changes is as follows:

6/15 (Mon) → 6/19 (Fri) summary substantive changes

Track / Stage 6/15 (Mon, partial fetch) 6/19 (Fri, full 148 entries) Substantive Change (Interpretation)
Dencun Included [4844] [4844] Same
Pectra Included [2537, 2935] [2537, 2935, 6110, 7002, 7251, 7549, 7623, 7642, 7685, 7691, 7702, 7840] Dump normalization byproduct (already mainnet-active EIPs)
Fusaka Included Not exposed in dump (6466 or lower) [7594, 7642, 7823, 7825, 7883, 7892, 7910, 7917, 7918, 7934, 7935, 7939, 7951] Dump normalization + reconfirmation of EIP-7934 / EIP-7935 Final status
Glamsterdam Scheduled Not exposed in dump [7708, 7732, 7778, 7843, 7928, 7954, 7976, 7981, 8024, 8037] (10 items) Dump normalization + 0 substantive changes
Glamsterdam Considered [2780] (1 item) [2780, 7610, 7688, 7904, 7975, 7997, 8038, 8045, 8061, 8070, 8080, 8136, 8159, 8246, 8282] (15 items) EIP-8282 newly entered Considered (ACDE #239) + the rest are dump normalization byproducts
Glamsterdam Declined [2926, 5920, 6466] (3 items) 38 items (large expansion, EIP-7805 excluded after moving to Hegota Scheduled) Dump normalization + EIP-7805 FOCIL move (actual change)
Glamsterdam Withdrawn Not exposed in dump [6873, 7667, 7919, 7999] (4 items) Dump normalization byproduct
Glamsterdam Proposed Not exposed in dump [8254] (1 item) Dump normalization byproduct (EIP-8254 was effectively replaced by EIP-8282 after ACDT #83 concluded that the simple deposit cap was insufficient)
Hegota Scheduled -- [7805] New EIP-7805 FOCIL move, the biggest substantive change this week
Hegota Considered -- [8141] New Frame TX listing
Hegota Proposed [4758] (1 item) [4758, 7645, 7709, 7716, 8025, EIP-8148, EIP-8182, EIP-8188, EIP-8205, 8253] (10 items) +9 substantive expansion — first signal of full Hegota track expansion
Hegota Withdrawn -- [8105] Mempool encryption track cleanup
Hegota Declined -- [7807, EIP-8184] Partial cleanup of mempool encryption LUCID follow-ups

This week's reliable actual stage changes (cross-verified across calls / commits / external primary sources)

Substantive EIP track changes (HIGH confidence)

  1. EIP-8282 'Builder Execution Requests' newly entered Glamsterdam Considered at ACDE #239 (6/18). The decision trajectory from ACDT #83 to ACDE #239 resolves as confirmation of EIP-8254's limitations followed by adoption of the EIP-7685 0x03/0x04 separate-contract path.
  2. EIP-7805 FOCIL moved from Glamsterdam Declined (acde/227, 2026-01-05) to Hegota Scheduled. This explicitly retargets the FOCIL track and is consistent with FOCIL Breakout #36 on 6/16 closing a 14-day gap.
  3. Hegota Proposed expanded from only 4758 to 1 → 10 items after +9 additions. With Considered EIP-8141 and PFI meta listings EIP-8131/EIP-8146/EIP-8250/EIP-8304/EIP-2488, the Hegota EIP candidate set took formal track shape for the first time this week.

EIP meta / body changes (reconfirming the meta EIP commit > forkcast dump authority pattern)

  • 6/17 commit 37c28f7 added EIP-8131 + EIP-8146 + EIP-8250 to the PFI list in the EIP-8081 Hegota Meta EIP body.
  • 6/17 commit cf5b8d9 fully rewrote EIP-8131 'Unified Transaction Content Floor'.
  • In the 6/18 12-minute commit burst, EIP-2780 + EIP-8037 + EIP-8038 were updated together.
  • 6/18 commit 0b95b99 + ec10dd9 reflected EIP-8130 secp256k1 inline storage + EOA flag fold.

New EIP registration / Draft

  • EIP-8304 'Trustless log and transaction index' is a 6/17 ethereum-magicians #28824 Draft and a retry of EIP-7745. It was listed in Hegota PFI at ACDE #239.
  • EIP-8189 "snap/2 - BAL-Based State Healing" is a Draft from the ACDE #239 agenda and a BAL wire-protocol expansion.
  • Block Access List Byte Floor (6/18 ea5fef0, number TBD).
  • Lean Staking EIP PR #11500 (EIP Editing Office Hour #102 agenda, awaiting EIP number assignment, ACDE #239 follow-up).

3. Validator / Infra Key Issues

Lido Snapshot 6-item simultaneous burst made the curated operator entry matrix visible in earnest

Snapshot Posted Estimated Close Core NO Entry Implication
LIP-35 SRv3 6/15 14:57 UTC 6/22 (4th day after 6/15 posting) Staking Router v3 — Lido Core routing layer rework + integrated routing changes for Curated/CSM/SimpleDVT modules For new entry, stake allocation model baseline may change + need to check the body for module priority / stake share cap / withdrawal queue model
LIP-33 CMv2/CSMv3 6/15 11:51 UTC 6/22 (4th day after 6/15 posting) Explicit adoption of 0x02 withdrawal credential — EIP-7251 compounding validator operationalization (consolidated operation of up to 2048 ETH under a single key) Fundamental infra/operations-structure change for Curated operators (validator count decreases + ETH operated per single key increases + slashing exposure concentration changes [further verification]) — mandatory pre-verification for new Curated entry candidates (devnet/testnet operating experience)
Simple DVT Wind Down 72 cluster 6/12 08:47 UTC 6/19 (7th day after 6/12 posting, first close candidate) Phased wind-down of existing SimpleDVT track → matches IDVTC + cSSV transition hypothesis Full reconfiguration of the Lido DVT track matrix — transition matrix from existing cluster → IDVTC (lido-research 11649) + cSSV Syndicate Boost + CMv2 3 tracks
Galaxy NO Infrastructure Update 6/12 07:31 UTC 6/19 (7th day after 6/12 posting) First Curated v1→v2 migration case Signals the same migration pattern for other Curated operators (~37) + moment when NO entry candidates should prepare the v2 infra baseline in advance + learning window for validator + signing stack reconstruction patterns
Nemo Director 6/12 6/19 General governance New director appointment — follow-up from the 6/5 weekly report
wstETH bridge revoke 6/12 6/19 Revocation of bridge permissions across 9 chains General governance
  • The simultaneous rework package across the three Curated/CSM/SimpleDVT modules became visible in earnest. The first verification of the 6/5 weekly report ETA (July mainnet / October-December Period 1.5 / 2027 Q1 full CMv1 termination) has begun.
  • The dual governance-channel structure was confirmed for the first time. Daily channels (blog/research) had no new posts across all of W25 for the 7th day, but Snapshot/Twitter channels showed a burst. The 6/16 note's "possibility of a new burst in late W25" materialized on the Snapshot channel, so monitoring-channel priority should be realigned and Snapshot-channel priority escalation should become SOP.

Lido Community Call 6/25 announcement connects this week's burst into next week

6/18 04:59 UTC @LidoFinance 2067472274:

  • (1) "what's next for Lido staking modules" points to post-result follow-up for LIP-33/LIP-35 Snapshot results and visibility into the Curated v2 migration roadmap.
  • (2) "Lido's recent Web3SOC certification" is an institutional trust signal [further verification needed: Web3SOC definition/issuer/scope/evaluation criteria].
  • (3) "guest sessions on client diversity" is an NO-side client-diversity policy baseline signal, leaving open the possibility that client-diversity SLA will be added to future entry evaluations.

A 7-day connected governance burst window formed from this week (4th day after 6/15 Snapshot posting) to next week (6 days before the 6/25 Community Call). NO entry candidates should start preparing in advance.

Client / operations stack changes

Component This Week's Change Impact Recommendation
Erigon v3.4.4 'Splashing Saga' 6/18 19:28 UTC release HIGH new Fixes post-reorg gas used mismatch (in-RAM overlay pruning timing). Recommended for all node operators. State-management bugs have been found consecutively in the v3.4.x series (v3.4.1 segfault → v3.4.4 gas mismatch). Structural review is presumed necessary
Rocket Pool Smart Node v1.20.4 6/17 21:01 UTC high-priority HIGH Immediate response for minipool operators + new Flashbots minipool close option is the first external LST case using private orderflow. Possibility of same option being adopted by Lido SimpleDVT/Curated
SSZ Engine API Breakout #1 (6/26 13:00 UTC) 6/18 PR #2127 new call series + 6/19 #2132 / ethereum-magicians 28832 first call schedule confirmed HIGH First official coordination of EL-CL JSON → SSZ serialization transition. It is a track for a full change to serialization of core messages such as newPayload/forkchoiceUpdated, with impact on JSON-based block explorers/MEV relays/monitoring infrastructure. RazorClient/Tamaghna in charge
execution-apis v1.0.0-beta.7 6/15 RPC Standards #28 release result MEDIUM txpool namespace standardization PR #353 + engine_forkchoiceUpdatedV4 PR #608 + JSON-RPC error code PR #823/#784 + eth_baseFee PR #795. Track spec adoption by the 4 EL clients (Geth/Nethermind/Besu/Erigon)
EF Clear Signing official launch 6/15 17:06 UTC MEDIUM HW/SW wallet integration + structural blocking of blind-signing attack vectors, raising the UX baseline for stakers/institutions. 0 direct EL/CL node impact, but possible medium-term design impact on MEV pipelines/transaction-simulation infrastructure
Besu CVE-2026-34480/34478 29+ days unpatched (W25 +5 days) HIGH ongoing Security exposure is accumulating for nodes below 26.5.0, exploitation likelihood rises, and this directly maps to staking-operator slashing/double-sign risk. Immediate upgrade to 26.5.0 or higher required
EL client baseline Geth v1.17.3 / Nethermind v1.37.2 / Besu 26.5.0 / Erigon v3.4.4 new / Reth MEDIUM Need to monitor each client's implementation schedule following SSZ Engine API #1 results
CL client baseline Lighthouse v8.1.3 / Prysm v7.1.3 / Teku 26.4.0 / Nimbus v26.5.0 / Lodestar v1.42.0 MEDIUM No new releases. SSZ Engine API #1 (6/26) results directly affect CL Engine API receiver implementations. Lodestar QUIC UDP port 9001 open recommendation continues

4. Protocol Call Key Decisions (5-call cluster this week)

This week's call cluster consists of 5 calls: ACDT #83 (6/15), RPC Standards #28 (6/15), FOCIL Breakout #36 (6/16), PQ Interop #44 (6/17), and ACDE #239 (6/18). This was the highest monitoring-load window for the research team.

ACDE #239 (6/18 14:00 UTC, issue 2115, facilitator @nixorokish) -- notes unpublished as of 6/19

  • Public agenda:
  • Glamsterdam devnet update status (@barnabasbusa)
  • EIP-8282 CFI final review (ePBS builder deposit scheme)
  • Proposal to add EIP-8189 to the Glamsterdam networking section
  • EIP-7928 State-Access Restructuring discussion
  • Gas repricing update: EIP-8037 status, EIP-7904 Compute Gas Cost presentation
  • Hegota agenda: EIP-8304 PFI + EIP-2488 PFI
  • Mempool encryption EIP-8105 / EIP-8184 feedback
  • In post-call EIP repo updates (14:40~14:52 UTC 12-minute burst), EIP-2780 / EIP-8038 / EIP-8037 were updated together. This is a case of immediate spec reflection of call decisions.

ACDT #83 (6/15, issue 2116) -- notes partially public

  • Glamsterdam-devnet-5 completed peering + fork-choice bug fixes.
  • Glamsterdam-devnet-6 is planning toward large-scale EL EIP integration.
  • bal-devnet-7 is for EL benchmarking and is a v7.3.2 release with Prague included.
  • EIP-8282 includes a separate builder deposit path based on EIP-7685 0x03/0x04, need for Engine API extension, system contracts, and vanity address decision discussion. EIP-8254 (simple cap) was concluded to be insufficient and was handed off to the ACDE #239 CFI decision.
  • SSZ Engine API (EL side) is identifying blockers to implementing execution-apis PR #793, and a 3rd CL volunteer is needed.
  • Gas repricing discussion: EIP-2780 rework (decomposition of the 21k default) + EIP-8037 status (block-gas inclusion check needed) + EIP-8038 initial state access costs (STORAGE_WRITE +257%, etc.).
  • ePBS CL fork choice: get_proposer_head ForkChoiceNode handling + interop impact from PENDING parent-support calculation logic.

RPC Standards #28 (6/15, issue 2120) -- partially public

  • execution-apis v1.0.0-beta.7 release.
  • Scheduled to close: txpool namespace standardization PR #353 + engine_forkchoiceUpdatedV4 PR #608.
  • In progress: JSON-RPC error-code consistency PR #823 / #784 + eth_baseFee PR #795 + testing_commitBlockV1 spec + debug_trace method opcode tracer standardization.

FOCIL Breakout #36 (6/16 13:00 UTC, issue 2121) -- notes unpublished

  • Closed a 14-day gap after Breakout #35 on 6/2, and checked three axes of EIP-7805 FOCIL Development / Spec / Testing updates.
  • EIP-7805 had Glamsterdam Declined (acde/227, 2026-01-05) status, but Breakout continued operating. Its surfacing as Hegota Scheduled in this week's forkcast dump is a substantive change.

PQ Interop #44 (6/17 14:00 UTC, issue 2128) -- notes unpublished

  • The public agenda is discussion of devnet5 + leanspec refactor.

ACDC #180 (6/11) -- previous call just before this week, notes unpublished for 7 days cumulatively

  • Glamsterdam devnet-5 + Deathstar bug + Devnet-6 plan.
  • QUIC mandate (consensus-specs PR #5330) + Lighthouse Mplex disabled.

This week's 8 daily recommendations (2 per day × 4 days):

Day Recommendation 1 Recommendation 2
6/15 (Mon) RPC Standards #28 D-Day (txpool standardization) Develp Post-Mortem 11603 D+17
6/16 (Tue) FOCIL Breakout #36 D-Day EF Clear Signing official launch
6/18 (Thu) Lido Snapshot 4-item simultaneous burst ACDE #239 'Glam · Hegotá' + Hegota PFI bundle
6/19 (Fri) EIP-8282 Builder Execution Requests precise decoding Lido LIP-33 0x02 credential (EIP-7251 compounding)

Priority authoring selection (combined timeliness / uniqueness / institutional / info_gap weighting)

Tier 1 -- 4 items directly tied to this week ~ next week window:

  1. "LIP-33 + LIP-35 package analysis: impact of simultaneous Lido Core routing + Curated/CSM module upgrades on NO entry" ([6/18 recommendation 1 + 6/19 recommendation 2 combined])

    • Timing rationale: 4th day after Snapshot posting → estimated 6/22 close + just before the 6/25 Lido Community Call, so this is the authoring point for result capture + post-result decoding.
    • Category: Report (in-depth report) -- 4,500~5,500 characters / high difficulty.
    • Owner: Validator Ops primary draft + Roadmap Analyst (EIP-7251 compounding alignment supplement).

  2. "EIP-8282 Builder Execution Requests + ePBS builder deposit scheme: ACDT #83 → ACDE #239 decision trajectory" ([6/19 recommendation 1])

    • Timing rationale: 24-hour window the day after ACDE #239 + just before the estimated 7/2 ACDE #240 EIP-8282 CFI follow-up decision, so pre-alignment is needed.
    • Category: Issue (key issue) -- 3,500~4,500 characters / high difficulty.
    • Owner: Roadmap Analyst + Validator Ops (NO/builder perspective) + Protocol Calls Tracker (decision-trace reinforcement).

  3. "Learning from the first Galaxy Curated v1→v2 migration case + v2 infra baseline checklist for NO entry candidates" ([6/18 recommendation 1 follow-up])

    • Timing rationale: Galaxy Snapshot reached the first close-candidate window on day 7 after posting, and the same migration pattern for other ~37 Curated operators was foreshadowed.
    • Category: Comment (weekly operations checklist) -- 2,500~3,500 characters / medium difficulty.
    • Owner: Validator Ops + Infra Monitor (signing stack reconstruction pattern).

  4. "First visibility of Hegota hard fork EIP scope: PFI cluster (EIP-8131 / EIP-8146 / EIP-8250 / EIP-8304 / EIP-2488) + Proposed 1→10 expansion analysis" ([6/18 recommendation 2 expanded])

    • Timing rationale: 6/19~21 ACDE #239 call-note publication window + pre-alignment before 7/2 ACDE #240.
    • Category: Issue (key issue) -- 3,500~4,500 characters / high difficulty.
    • Owner: Roadmap Analyst + Protocol Calls Tracker.

Tier 2 -- 3 items for next week's pre-publication window:

  1. "SSZ Engine API transition: JSON → SSZ serialization changes the EL-CL communication layer + impact on MEV relay/block explorers" ([6/19 recommendation 1 support)

    • Timing rationale: 6/26 Breakout #1 D-7 pre-analysis window.
    • Category: Issue / Comment -- 3,000~4,000 characters.

  2. "Glamsterdam gas model realignment bundle: precise decoding of EIP-7928 BAL + EIP-8037 + EIP-2780 + EIP-8038" (post-call 12-minute commit burst analysis)

    • Timing rationale: Pre-analysis just before 6/22 ACDT #84 + 7/2 ACDE #240.
    • Category: Report -- 4,000~5,000 characters.

  3. "Lido DVT track reconfiguration matrix: Simple DVT wind down 72 → IDVTC + cSSV + CMv2 transition" (carry, accumulated since the 6/12 note)

    • Timing rationale: Snapshot D+7 results + suitable pre-publication timing before the 6/25 Community Call.
    • Category: Report -- 4,000~5,000 characters.

Tier 3 -- 1 item for monitoring / follow-up window:

  1. "Lido Web3SOC certification + client diversity track: institutional trust signal + NO-side client-diversity policy baseline" ([6/19 recommendation 2 support)

    • Timing rationale: Pre-analysis for the 6/25 Community Call agenda + need to confirm Web3SOC definition/issuer/scope in advance.
    • Category: Comment -- 2,500~3,500 characters.

  • 6/19~22 Lido Snapshot 6-item result capture (LIP-33/LIP-35 close on 6/22 + 4 items posted on 6/12 closing D+7~D+10).
  • Awaiting PQ Interop #44 (6/17) + FOCIL Breakout #36 (6/16) call-note body publication (D+2~D+3 each).
  • vitalikblog's 13+ consecutive days of silence as of 6/19 is a monitoring target for activity-resumption signals from 6/22 onward, and is a qualitative signal for Glamsterdam / Hegota roadmap visibility.

Key Insights (W25 Summary)

(1) The Hegota track took formal shape for the first time this week

  • At the 6/5 weekly report point, 7 Hegota EL headliner candidates were listed on the ACDE #238 agenda (EIP-8131/8279/7979/8173/8222/7851/8151), and only EIP-4758 was Proposed alone.
  • At the end of this week (W25, 6/19), Hegota had formed a 20+ item track: Proposed 1 → 10, Considered 1, Scheduled 1 (EIP-7805 FOCIL move), Withdrawn 1, Declined 2, and PFI 5 (listed in the meta EIP body).
  • Between 6/4 ACDE #238 and 6/18 ACDE #239 (14 days), the Hegota EIP candidate set took formal track shape. This is the first trajectory verification of the 6/5 weekly report assumption ("4 author camps dispersed — equilibrium state").
  • Differentiated research topic: "First visibility of Hegota hard fork EIP scope" (Tier 1 #4) has 0 Korean-language comprehensive analyses and is timely for pre-alignment before 7/2 ACDE #240.

(2) Lido SRv3 + LIP-33 brought the first verification of this research team's entry matrix

  • At the 6/5 weekly report point, LIP-35 had been proposed on 6/3, the timeline was explicit (late-June Snapshot → July mainnet → October Period 1.5 → December Period 2 → 2027 Q1 full CMv1 termination), and a new 3-window entry matrix had appeared.
  • At the end of this week, LIP-33 + LIP-35 Snapshots were active on the 4th day after 6/15 posting, while the first Galaxy Curated v1→v2 migration case, Simple DVT Wind Down, and the 6/25 Community Call announcement were confirmed. The first trajectory verification of the 6/5 ETA arrived.
  • Explicit 0x02 withdrawal credential adoption (LIP-33) means entry into EIP-7251 compounding validator operationalization. Because this is a fundamental change in Curated operator infra/operations structure, this research team's pre-verification (devnet/testnet operating experience) is required.
  • Differentiated research topics are simultaneous authoring of "LIP-33 + LIP-35 package analysis" (Tier 1 #1) and "Galaxy v1→v2 migration learning" (Tier 1 #3).

(3) A 12-minute post-call EIP burst was the first signal of faster spec convergence

  • At the 6/5 weekly report point, the recommendation was to settle the authority-priority SOP of meta EIP commit > ACDE/ACDC call notes > dump changes.
  • At the end of this week, ACDE #239 decisions were immediately reflected as EIP repo commits inside a 12-minute window. This means a new "post-call commit window" monitoring layer has appeared one level above the "meta EIP commit > call notes > dump" SOP.
  • If this pattern recurs at ACDE #240 (7/2) and later ACDEs, spec convergence can be viewed as accelerating from call-level cadence to 12-minute post-call cadence. This becomes a candidate for automated alerting SOP and a new priority monitoring rule for the EIPs commit window (24 hours after call end).

(4) Infra operations-stack realignment is concentrated in late June~early July

  • Four things happened at the same time this week: (a) Erigon v3.4.4 emergency patch (recommended for all node operators), (b) Rocket Pool Smart Node v1.20.4 + Flashbots close option (first external LST private-orderflow case), (c) SSZ Engine API Breakout #1 (6/26) first official coordination, and (d) execution-apis v1.0.0-beta.7 + EF Clear Signing official launch.
  • 6/26 SSZ Engine API #1 means the EL-CL communication layer JSON → SSZ serialization transition is entering execution. It creates impacts across all EL/CL client communication-layer implementations and a new migration matrix for JSON-based monitoring tools (block explorers, MEV relays).
  • Infra-stack realignment items for NO entry candidates are (i) immediate Erigon v3.4.4 upgrade, (ii) immediate Besu 26.5.0 upgrade (29+ day CVE), (iii) evaluation of the Rocket Pool Flashbots close option (private orderflow introduction), and (iv) pre-alignment on the SSZ Engine API migration matrix. All recommendations occurred simultaneously this week.

Priority Action Items (NO / Institutional Perspective)

Immediate action required (first weekend ~ Monday next week)

  1. Erigon operating nodes → immediate upgrade to v3.4.4 (resolves post-reorg gas mismatch)
  2. Rocket Pool minipool operating nodes → immediate upgrade to Smart Node v1.20.4 + evaluate Flashbots close option
  3. Besu nodes below 26.5.0 → immediately upgrade to 26.5.0 or higher for CVE-2026-34480/34478 patching (29+ days HIGH ongoing)
  4. Check Lido Snapshot LIP-33 / LIP-35 body + results (4th day after 6/15 posting → estimated 6/22 close): capture module priority + stake share cap + withdrawal queue model + 0x02 credential operating details

Weekend recommendations (priority authoring window)

  • Enter simultaneous authoring for 4 Tier-1 research topics:
  • (1) "LIP-33 + LIP-35 package analysis"
  • (2) "EIP-8282 Builder Execution Requests + ePBS builder deposit scheme"
  • (3) "Learning from the first Galaxy Curated v1→v2 migration case"
  • (4) "First visibility of Hegota hard fork EIP scope"
  • Check ACDE #239 call-note body (6/19~21 publication window) + verify 6/19~22 dump (whether Hegota EIP-8131 newly surfaces in a forkcast stage: PFI → Proposed promotion)
  • Check PQ Interop #44 + FOCIL Breakout #36 + ACDC #180 notes (raise priority for direct ethereum/pm checks)
  • Pre-secure the 0x02 withdrawal credential operational verification baseline (EIP-7251 compounding consolidation devnet/testnet experience)

Advance preparation for next week (6/22 ~ 06/26)

  • On 6/22 ACDT #84, monitor Glamsterdam devnet-6 progress + Hegota gas-model alignment follow-up.
  • For the 6/25 Lido Community Call, pre-capture staking-modules roadmap + Web3SOC certification + client-diversity agenda messages, and confirm Web3SOC definition/issuer/scope in advance.
  • Monitor the 6/26 SSZ Engine API Breakout #1: first official coordination of the EL-CL communication-layer SSZ transition spec → monitor NO-side client-pair compatibility matrix baseline realignment.
  • Capture the final deadline window of the Develp Post-Mortem 11603 response trajectory after 21+ days since posting, and complete the final segment of the "Develp Post-Mortem learning checklist".

Monitoring / Pending

  • Monitor vitalikblog's 13+ consecutive days of silence for activity-resumption signals from 6/22 onward (qualitative signal for Glamsterdam / Hegota roadmap visibility).
  • Confirm EIP upgrade-status dump stabilization by checking whether the 148-entry baseline holds from 6/22 onward (if sawtooth recurs, reconfirm the meta EIP commit priority authority SOP).
  • For Lean Staking EIP PR #11500, check the body after EIP number assignment (EIP Editing Office Hour #102 agenda).
  • Monitor IDVTC (lido-research 11649) for possible entry-application guideline proposals in the 13~16-day window after posting.
  • 7/2 ACDE #240 may cover EIP-8282 CFI follow-up + EIP-2488 PFI + EIP-8304 Glamsterdam scoping decisions.
