ACDC #142: Pectra FUD Gets Worse

ACDC #142: Pectra FUD Gets Worse

Author: Galaxy Research September 24, 2024 Duration: 27:45
On Ep.51 of Infinite Jungle, Christine talks about the main takeaways from All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) call #142. Developers did not reach a decision about how to split the Pectra hard fork into two separate upgrades. Despite the call moderator’s best efforts to rally consensus for strictly limiting the scope of the first Pectra hard fork, there was disagreement among call participants about how to split Pectra code changes. Christine summarizes the main disagreements about the Pectra split idea shared on the call and gives her take on what can be done to improve the Ethereum upgrade planning process.
