ACDE #200: Ethereum’s Superpower is Transparency

ACDE #200: Ethereum’s Superpower is Transparency

Author: Galaxy Research November 12, 2024 Duration: 37:28
On Ep.65 of Infinite Jungle, Christine talks about the main takeaways from All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) call #200 where developers talked about all the usual topics related to Pectra development, including devnet testing, specifications changes, and new EIPs. The newest EIP presented on the ACD calls was presented by Erigon developer Giulio Rebuffo. His proposal seeks to address the problem of history growth. Christine explains what history growth is and the various solutions that developers are weighing alongside Rebuffo’s latest EIP to address the problem. Finally, in commemoration of the 200th ACDE call, Christine gives a brief history lesson on how these ACD calls got started and why they are so important to Ethereum governance.
