The 173rd Ethereum ACDC Meeting: Glamsterdam Upgrade Faces Schedule Pressure

According to a summary of the 173rd Ethereum consensus layer core developer meeting published on the X platform by Christine D. Kim, developers may need to significantly scale back the Glamsterdam upgrade to launch before mid-year. While there has been no formal acknowledgment of a mismatch between the plans and the timeline, if the problem does exist, it needs to be resolved by the end of February. Key points discussed at the meeting included: if EIP-7732 cannot achieve an interoperable version by the end of February, it will be considered for removal from Glamsterdam and postponed to a future hard fork; Consensys Teku client encountered node performance issues during mainnet stress testing, impacting progress; EIP-7928 requires a small-scale API review by clients; the deadline for submitting Hegota upgrade Headliner EIP proposals is February 4th; and some client teams have completed preliminary work on updating the EIP-7688 library.
