Ethereum Clients Roll Out Partial History Expiry - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Ethereum-Clients-Roll-Out-Partial-History-Expiry?index=0x686e2025f7724639edcc2934cddba85418a20a18cfcd492ba19b1c349e556749b5f330d1 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/07/08/ethereum-clients-roll-out-partial-history-expiry - Shared 9 July 2025, 4 upvotes, 4 comments The Ethereum Foundation announced on July 8 that major clients Geth, Besu and Nethermind are introducing an opt-in "Partial History Expiry" mode that lets node operators discard older block data, for example keeping only the most recent year. The article says this is not consensus-breaking, since all nodes still verify blocks, and that it lowers disk usage and sync times. It also notes that The Graph, analytics dashboards and some L2 rollups that rely on historical block traces will need archive nodes or third-party providers such as Infura, Alchemy or ArchiveNode. ## 2. Ethereum @ 10: A Decade of Innovation & Milestones - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Ethereum-10-A-Decade-of-Innovation-and-Milestones?index=0x6889cd967b50eccabc5a569b9821a8955c0d4a99f10a3f872967f9c2e64e760502e2182c - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/07/29/ethereum-10-a-decade-of-innovation-milestones - Shared 30 July 2025, 4 upvotes, 1 comment EtherWorld's retrospective marks Ethereum's tenth anniversary by listing key milestones from its July 30, 2015 Genesis block through July 2025, grouped into four periods. It highlights the Frontier mainnet launch in 2015, the 2016 DAO exploit of about $50 million and the emergency hard fork that followed, and the Merge, which transitioned Ethereum from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake on July 20, 2022. Later entries cover the Shapella withdrawals in April 2023, Dencun in March 2024, and Pectra in May 2025. ## 3. Highlights from the All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #159 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Consensus-ACDC-Call-159?index=0x685e46529e52ddc9548d3b1d912479dcd447b3c33cb389454db33896400174e928552a9d - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/06/27/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-consensus-acdc-call-159 - Shared 27 June 2025, 4 upvotes, 0 comments On the June 26, 2025 All Core Devs call (ACDC #159), developers froze the Fusaka Consensus Layer specification after four PRs merged. Fusaka Devnet 2 launched that day at 10 AM UTC, with Nimbus showing incorrect NFD values and occasional empty blocks, while a Sunnyside Labs report found most single-client networks reached 72 blobs per block. Developers discussed a staggered blob-scaling approach, with BPO1 expected to be included in the Fusaka release and later BPOs decided after mainnet data. The call also reviewed EIP-7782, a Glamsterdam proposal to cut slot times from 12 seconds to 6 seconds, though no decisions were made. ## 4. A Structured Methodology for Ethereum Testnets - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/A-Structured-Methodology-for-Ethereum-Testnets?index=0x6834c056971d07001eda2709b712a08d7d6570d0298cbaf6dd4ef96f37173ad502293a79 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/05/25/a-structured-methodology-for-ethereum-testnets - Shared 26 May 2025, 4 upvotes, 0 comments A proposed five-tier methodology would categorize Ethereum test networks by intended use, stability requirements, and governance model, arguing that such a framework is essential for Ethereum's long-term scalability and developer support. The article says recent disruptions on Sepolia and Holesky highlighted the fragility of existing testnet infrastructure. The tiers are mainnet, the aTestnet for application developers, the ceTestnet for validating upgrades before mainnet, the uceTestnet for unstable experimentation, and domain-specific dsTestnets for niche uses such as rollup experimentation and staking research. ## 5. Vitalik Pushes Back on “Sovereign AI” as Web4 Essay Sparks Debate - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Vitalik-Pushes-Back-on-Sovereign-AI-as-Web4-Essay-Sparks-Debate?index=0x6999041cc58d764122ce7ad8c76c90ba331f156b5bed0087cd754d3f8b28c1eb860d15a5 - Source: https://etherworld.co/vitalik-pushes-back-on-sovereign-ai-as-web4-essay-sparks-debate - Shared 21 February 2026, 3 upvotes, 2 comments Vitalik Buterin rejected Sigil's claim that an AI that earns its own existence, self-improves and replicates without humans marks the start of Web4, calling the idea "wrong" in a post on X. Sigil (@0xSigil) described the system as the birth of superintelligent life and an active economic participant. Buterin's central concern is the feedback distance between human values and AI decision-making, which he argues grows as systems gain autonomy, and he wrote that "the point of ethereum is to set us free." The article also argues that attaching a wallet does not decentralize an AI whose intelligence layer depends on centralized model providers. ## 6. EF Director Hsiao Wei Wang Outlines Ethereum’s Vision At Devconnect Argentina - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/EF-Director-Hsiao-Wei-Wang-Outlines-Ethereums-Vision-At-Devconnect-Argentina?index=0x6922dc4fb3c71094ac5d53ea5ed8fcd6038880a908ead75b26bb126d3fd59b36764a5339 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/11/21/ef-director-hsiao-wei-wang-outlines-ethereums-vision-at-devconnect-argentina - Shared 23 November 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments Hsiao Wei Wang, Ethereum Foundation (EF) leader, argued at Devconnect Argentina that Ethereum's next decade should be guided by reliability, flexibility and stewardship, with the community building the network step by step like a ladder. Wang celebrated Ethereum's 10-year milestone and said every major upgrade has maintained full network liveness, a result of coordinated work by multiple independent client teams, researchers and contributors. She said stewardship means responsibility, not authority, and that the EF invests early in research, experimentation and client diversity. Wang also said decentralization cannot be assumed and requires continuous protection. ## 7. 51% Doomsday: The Moment a Single Mining Pool Could Kill Bitcoin Overnight - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/51percent-Doomsday-The-Moment-a-Single-Mining-Pool-Could-Kill-Bitcoin-Overnight?index=0x68a37b787a86268f20503f79c93cc12dceb38a5c75602904011bc9b4550bbde957080a90 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/08/18/51-doomsday-the-moment-a-single-mining-pool-could-kill-bitcoin-overnight - Shared 18 August 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments A single mining pool crossing 51% of Bitcoin's hashrate could trigger market, political and miner reactions, and the 2014 episode when GHash.io briefly held a majority is offered as a precedent. Cornell researchers Eyal & Sirer documented GHash controlling the majority for about 12 hours, and Bitcoin's spot price fell roughly 5%, from US$633 to US$600, before GHash pledged never to exceed 39.99%. As of 11 June 2025, Foundry USA held 34% and Antpool 20%, combined 54%, and a 2026 scenario of Foundry reaching 52% is presented as hypothetical. ## 8. Highlights from the All Core Developers Exceution (ACDE) Call #215 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Exceution-ACDE-Call-215?index=0x6868014d99f3d09f061d67d913e66ba6a7ef976fb8b99a0d7f0739294ffd15665281c356 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/07/03/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-exceution-acde-call-215 - Shared 4 July 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments Ethereum core developers on ACDE Call #215, held July 3, 2025, validated performance results from Fusaka Devnet 2, finalized key EIP specifications, and set timelines for Devnet 3 and the Glamsterdam fork. Devnet 2 reached only about 56% client finalization, with fork-ID issues traced to Besu and 4-byte ID handling by Nethermind. The teams agreed to use the eth_config JSON-RPC method (EIP-7910) and designated Devnet 3 as the "happy-path" stress test network. Devnet 3 will also test EIP-7907, which doubles maximum contract bytecode size from 24 KB to 48 KB. ## 9. Linea Achieves Full Ethereum Compatibility with Zero-Knowledge Proofs - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Linea-Achieves-Full-Ethereum-Compatibility-with-Zero-Knowledge-Proofs?index=0x6851ed0963a4641c81b9a28a9a1651f7bc201677e5c6a9ffeb34870a68ce6e98242988d4 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/06/17/linea-achieves-full-ethereum-compatibility-with-zero-knowledge-proofs - Shared 17 June 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments Linea announced that it is the first zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) to achieve "prover completeness," which the article says means every computation on its network can be mathematically proven correct. The article states that Linea reached this after six years of research and that it lets Linea verify 100% of Ethereum Virtual Machine operations with zero-knowledge proofs. According to the article, developers can deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts on Linea without compatibility issues, and users do not need new tools. ## 10. Ethereum Foundation's First-Ever Treasury Policy Explained - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Ethereum-Foundations-First-Ever-Treasury-Policy-Explained?index=0x6843748b7c3ed77f2cd2fa32c7f1e34dfbaa1ead4eaa2e764cd5399c5d9bce5b33a4e586 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/06/05/ethereum-foundations-first-ever-treasury-policy-explained - Shared 6 June 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments The Ethereum Foundation published its first comprehensive Treasury Policy on June 4, 2025, moving from a basic hold-ETH approach to a structured strategy covering operational spending, DeFi yield and privacy-focused deployments. The policy sets operating expenses at 15% of total treasury and a 2.5-year fiat buffer, with anything above that available for staking, DeFi or controlled sales. Deployments must meet "Defipunk" criteria such as permissionless access, self-custody and FLOSS licensing, and the foundation says it will look for "credible progress" rather than perfection from early projects. ## 11. The Silent Upgrade - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/The-Silent-Upgrade?index=0x696b77d7332637e889d4161a524d1e149f0bf52470297860bbcf221ff6c6b18018be9bcb - Source: https://etherworld.co/the-silent-upgrade - Shared 17 January 2026, 2 upvotes, 0 comments The article argues that Ethereum upgrades should eventually happen quietly, with the network improving without major coordination or fanfare, and that the BPO forks show this shift has begun. It says Fusaka went live on mainnet on December 3, 2025, and that its PeerDAS proposal increased blob data availability for Layer 2 networks. Blob Parameter Only (BPO) forks, documented in EIP-7892, change only the blob-per-block count; BPO1 on December 9, 2025 raised the maximum to 15 blobs per block, and BPO2 on January 7, 2026 raised the target to 14 and the maximum to 21. ## 12. Japan’s Web3 Momentum Meets Global Blockchain Leaders at EDCON Osaka 2025 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Japans-Web3-Momentum-Meets-Global-Blockchain-Leaders-at-EDCON-Osaka-2025?index=0x68c4a5d7c862bd643394fbd823a64ca9cabf502e75f0122d8c96bfc84be958e43d113582 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/09/12/japans-web3-momentum-meets-global-blockchain-leaders-at-edcon-osaka-2025 - Shared 12 September 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments EDCON, the Community Ethereum Development Conference, returns to Japan for its 8th edition in Osaka in September 2025, bringing international experts, investors, Japanese conglomerates and startups together. The event is hosted as part of the Global Startup Crossroad—Osaka, with Osaka Prefecture and Osaka Innovation Hub. Representatives from Sumitomo Corporation and NTT Digital will join Ethereum Foundation executives to discuss the opportunities and challenges of blockchain adoption, and Takafumi Ochiai, Vice Chair of the Fintech Association of Japan, will present on Japan's digital asset regulation. ## 13.

The Ethereum Foundation's latest report highlights user experience and the social layer as major security challenges, and says Ethereum holds over half of the $117B DeFi market. Gemini and Coinbase are close to securing EU-wide MiCA licenses, with critics warning of a "race to the bottom" over approvals in Malta and Luxembourg. The SEC, under Chairman Paul Atkins, is appointing leaders with crypto and fintech backgrounds, including Jamie Selway and Brian T. Daly. Coinbase reports that 60% of Fortune 500 companies are actively developing blockchain projects. ## 14. EtherWorld Weekly — Edition 317 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/EtherWorld-Weekly-Edition-317?index=0x68447e9cda7717c04870ad61ff4d7a4613d1388b96c0d076829b3c02e37be008c7a9f079 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/06/07/etherworld-weekly-edition-317 - Shared 7 June 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments EtherWorld Weekly Edition 317 is a roundup of Ethereum and crypto news covering development, regulation and industry items. California's Assembly passed AB 1052, which would let the state claim idle crypto on exchanges after 3 years of inactivity, and the bill now awaits Senate review and potential enactment in 2026. JPMorgan will reportedly accept crypto ETFs, starting with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, as loan collateral, despite CEO Jamie Dimon's ongoing skepticism. The first phase of History Expiry goes live on Sepolia on June 1, and Hyperledger Besu released a Sepolia-only client to support syncing afterward. ## 15. Ethereum Targets June 1 for Sepolia History Expiry - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Ethereum-Targets-June-1-for-Sepolia-History-Expiry?index=0x682439ada45469c20d1468f3fae67922757772164fb27f43a018c335f7be02bd1e41c574 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/05/13/ethereum-targets-june-1-for-sepolia-history-expiry - Shared 14 May 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments Ethereum developers have tentatively scheduled June 1, 2025, to begin public testing of history expiry on the Sepolia testnet, a step toward the network's long-term goal of statelessness. The date was confirmed on the May 12, 2025, All Core Devs Testing call, and developers said it is a coordination signal rather than a hard deadline. Geth has already integrated the feature, while Erigon and Nethermind were still reviewing or finalizing pull requests, and clients may enable expiry at their own pace as long as they are ready before the Fusaka upgrade. ## 16. Highlights of Ethereum's All Core Devs Meeting #207 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-of-Ethereums-All-Core-Devs-Meeting-207?index=0x67d44efecd8084f2284ca87f85dc2095259e623c61f32e0e92be9a4a6885774ce0fc733b - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/03/13/highlights-of-ethereums-all-core-devs-meeting-acde-207 - Shared 14 March 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments Most participants in Ethereum's Execution Layer Meeting 207 favored launching a new testnet, Hoodi, over risky fixes to Holesky, which suffered nearly two weeks of non-finality and has a validator exit queue of one million validators. Lido and Eigen Layer preferred a hard fork that would reset Holesky's exit queue, because their tools were built around Holesky and redeploying would take three to four weeks. Hoodi is scheduled to fork on March 26, 2025, followed by about 30 days of stability testing, and the mainnet Pectra fork will not happen before April 26. ## 17. Highlights of Ethereum's All Core Devs Meeting (ACDC) #153 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-of-Ethereums-All-Core-Devs-Meeting-ACDC-153?index=0x67dd20b87a6c2f1cb67d6f2d91548d7770566d12219f7412b037182e7594263fcddc3f0d - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/03/21/highlights-of-ethereums-all-core-devs-meeting-acdc-153 - Shared 21 March 2025, 1 upvote, 1 comment Ethereum's Consensus Layer Call 153 covered the Hoodi testnet, Pectra mainnet readiness, history expiry, validator custody, PeerDAS devnets, and EIP-7688 for Fusaka. The Hoodi testnet launched, with the Pectra upgrade scheduled for Wednesday, March 26, and Lodestar confirmed fully supported. On mainnet readiness, the consensus was to hold off on setting a launch date while prioritizing stability. History expiry, initially targeted for May 1, 2025, depends on EIP-6110, and EIP-7688 would give stable container structures, which Lido, RocketPool, and EigenLayer would benefit from. ## 18. Polygon PoS Incident Post-Mortem - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Polygon-PoS-Incident-Post-Mortem?index=0x6945d8840064cab7fdffbf56cf32e480d2eda6a6b4f06f308d7d2fe5c521210312041345 - Source: https://etherworld.co/polygon-pos-incident-post-mortem - Shared 19 December 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments On December 17-18, 2025, Polygon PoS suffered a partial service disruption in Bor, its block-producing and transaction execution client, which mainly degraded RPC availability across several infrastructure providers. The chain itself stayed online: block production continued, validators remained active, and transactions were still processed, with no halts or reorgs. Multiple Bor nodes stalled at the execution layer, causing RPC request failures, temporary validator desynchronization, and lagging block explorers. Polygon engineers set up a war room and deployed a targeted patch to affected operators, after which nodes resynchronized and validators returned to quorum. ## 19. The Real Problem With Non-USD Stablecoins - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/The-Real-Problem-With-Non-USD-Stablecoins?index=0x6933760b951f2fea909159320374cd0475ac2bf4ef3f8ec7423196a12151c664328b05fb - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/12/01/the-real-problem-with-non-usd-stablecoins - Shared 6 December 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Non-USD stablecoins struggle to gain on-chain adoption mainly because liquidity providers in FX pools suffer impermanent loss that makes participation unsafe, according to the article's argument. Aishwary deployed an XSGD/USDC pool with a narrow concentrated-liquidity range matched to the real SGD to USD trading band, and a routine exchange-rate shift pushed the pair out of range, after which arbitrage bots drained the XSGD side. The article cites an Artemis chart, based on its October dataset, showing USD-denominated stablecoins account for almost all circulating supply. Aishwary, after discussing the problem with a liquidity strategist, shared a potential mechanism that could let FX pool LPs recover IL over time. ## 20. Two Forks Per Year: Can Ethereum Really Do It? - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Two-Forks-Per-Year-Can-Ethereum-Really-Do-It?index=0x69296cdc3f06288d96c3aaf8ba4037ee3b0b602d0de6ee4b012b90408d800c43bb54e92a - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/11/28/two-forks-per-year-can-ethereum-really-do-it - Shared 28 November 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum's upgrade process needs reform before it can reliably ship two forks per year, according to the ACDC #170 call's conclusions as reported in this article. Developers agreed that the headliner process was confusing during Glamsterdam, with teams interpreting DFI, CFI and SFI signals differently, and that the process needs to be simpler and more predictable. The clearest suggestion for Heka Bogotá was to first decide whether FOCIL is a headliner, then choose only one additional major feature, such as six second slots. The article also says the process needs earlier fork scoping and lighter forks, and that Glamsterdam benefited from removing FOCIL, EIP-8071 and EIP-8062. ## 21. Highlights from the All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #168 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Consensus-ACDC-Call-168?index=0x6903f45d2ffaaec16fa878aca92697ce1bbfa114798b29e97194a4b8fddeef64372ee622 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/10/30/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-consensus-acdc-call-168 - Shared 30 October 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum's All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #168 locked in the Fusaka mainnet timeline and shifted attention to planning Glamsterdam's EIPs. Proposed mainnet dates are a public release on November 3, a mainnet fork on December 3, BPO1 on December 9, and BPO2 on January 7 of the next year. The Meta-EIP list included many PFI-eligible proposals, mostly affecting the Execution Layer, and the call was for alignment rather than decisions. The next fork after H Star was named HEKA, paired with Bogotá on the execution layer. ## 22. Ethereum Devs Call Out Rollups: “Test on Devnets, Not in Production” - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Ethereum-Devs-Call-Out-Rollups-Test-on-Devnets-Not-in-Production?index=0x68fab4dec760270fde9cdf4d04ba6372a8077e44e1f24bb5e28a6e88bee1bb0341a43704 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/10/20/ethereum-devs-call-out-rollups-test-on-devnets-not-in-production - Shared 23 October 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum core developers, speaking on the All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #167, emphasized that Layer-2 rollups should treat Devnets as genuine staging environments rather than running live operations on public testnets. The article says many rollups, including Arbitrum, Optimism and zkSync, frequently use public testnets such as Sepolia or Holesky for near-production operations. It notes this bypasses protocol-level validation that dedicated Devnets provide, and participants on the call specifically pointed to Fusaka's Devnet-3 as an ideal late-stage validation environment. ## 23. Highlights from the All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) Call #222 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Execution-ACDE-Call-222?index=0x68e839396b99fb2629e40620ee6d6fa25ab85b67475cd39373fe1f2fd09d5643a384e195 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/10/09/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-execution-acde-call-222 - Shared 9 October 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum's All Core Developers Execution Call #222 focused on network readiness ahead of the Fusaka mainnet launch, with the Sepolia shadow fork running smoothly and devnet work ongoing. Developers reported that BPO1 went live two days before the meeting and that a peer-to-peer issue on the Lighthouse client is being triaged, with a patch expected in an upcoming release. The call also set the official testnet schedule: Holešky on October 1, Sepolia on October 14, Hoodi on October 28, and mainnet targeted for December at the earliest. Glamsterdam work advanced, with the BAL test suite growing to about 154 scenarios and most clients passing roughly 80%. ## 24. Highlights from the All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #166 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Consensus-ACDC-Call-166?index=0x68e0156cd5b8aa00e1f6a671fe0c5fe89d386d9a18838273859a631c91f8bad62979731a - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/10/02/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-consensus-acdc-call-166 - Shared 3 October 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum's All Core Developers Consensus Call #166 focused on the Fusaka upgrade rollout, along with early work on Glamsterdam. Developers deliberately triggered about two days of non-finality on Fusaka Devnet-3, and the network was healed and has been finalizing smoothly since. The Holesky fork activated on October 1 with a temporary validator participation drop traced to missed client updates, and the Ethereum Foundation launched a $2 million audit contest ahead of mainnet. The earliest Fusaka mainnet deployment is expected in December 2025, provided testnet activations remain stable. ## 25. Highlights from the All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) Call #221 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Execution-ACDE-Call-221?index=0x68d727ae8a899f4a979e5f54b19e316ea1d9458749af6c959d0d37054f70c310901b6a41 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/09/25/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-execution-acde-call-221 - Shared 26 September 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum's All Core Developers Execution Call #221 covered the near-term roadmap, focusing on Fusaka's stability, blob performance, and upcoming testnet forks. The Fusaka bug bounty program is now live, and no catastrophic vulnerabilities have been identified, so the upgrade timeline remains unchanged. The rollout begins with the Holesky fork on October 1, followed by Sepolia and Hoodi at two-week intervals, and the default block gas limit will rise to 60 million under EIP-7935. The call also discussed EIP-7819, which proposes a SETDELEGATE opcode to reduce state growth, noting that about 89.1% of contracts are deployed via factory contracts. ## 26. Countdown to Fusaka: Ethereum Locks Dates for Holesky, Sepolia & Hoodi Forks - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Countdown-to-Fusaka-Ethereum-Locks-Dates-for-Holesky-Sepolia-and-Hoodi-Forks?index=0x68cdcfcece9bea88927b420418ac552a56888ef456dd571a4c992b558264e1474a986803 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/09/19/countdown-to-fusaka-ethereum-locks-dates-for-holesky-sepolia-hoodi-forks - Shared 19 September 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum developers have set October 2025 dates for the Fusaka upgrade's forks on the Holesky, Sepolia and Hoodi testnets, with mainnet activation planned no earlier than 30 days after Hoodi. The schedule starts with Holesky on October 2, 2025, followed by Sepolia on October 16, 2025, and Hoodi on October 30, 2025. Barnabas, a core contributor, recommended scheduling all forks on Wednesdays to provide debugging windows and avoid clashes with the All Core Developers calls. ## 27. Highlights from the All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #165 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Consensus-ACDC-Call-165?index=0x68cd6319ab95f79c4fadc6ba2b8e8bb6654168a67555bd922b6ae75b5d53b71a3250c4cf - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/09/19/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-consensus-acdc-call-165 - Shared 19 September 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Developers on ACDC call #165 reported that Fusaka testing has entered a critical phase, with Devnet 3 stable and Devnet 5 raising new issues around blob counts, bandwidth, and client performance. Analysis found blob values of 15 and 21 feasible for BPO 1 and 2, while 32 blobs caused severe block propagation struggles unless relays or high-bandwidth nodes were used. A c-kzg-4844 flaw in version 2.1.2 was patched in v2.1.3, now the recommended version. The proposed schedule sets a code freeze on 22 September 2025, with testnet forks on Holesky, Sepolia, and Hoodi in October and mainnet no earlier than 30 days after the Hoodi fork. ## 28. Highlights from the All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) Call #220 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Execution-ACDE-Call-220?index=0x68c5c805c70d9926d71573c484aecb3f1e0d8526ae56711498e7bef60ab36b40e0ff01fd - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/09/11/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-execution-acde-call-220 - Shared 13 September 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum developers on All Core Developers Execution call #220 focused on progress toward the Fusaka upgrade, with Devnet-3 non-finality testing lessons shared and Devnet-5 introduced as the final proving ground before testnets. Participation in Devnet-3 initially rose to around 62% before dipping back into the low-50s. The STEEL Team announced that all code from ethereum/execution-spec-tests will be merged into ethereum/execution-specs in Q4 2025 in an initiative called The Weld. The call also discussed EIPs including EIP-7976, which proposes raising the calldata floor cost from 10 to 15 gas and would reduce maximum block size by about 33%. ## 29. Polygon PoS Incident Postmortem: Milestone Bug & Hard Fork Resolution - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Polygon-PoS-Incident-Postmortem-Milestone-Bug-and-Hard-Fork-Resolution?index=0x68c346d7f7293d2ecba819983b74bb974e73505d378c5fa7615774dd2125b42642fac2c8 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/09/10/polygon-pos-incident-postmortem-milestone-bug-hard-fork-resolution - Shared 11 September 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Polygon PoS suffered a disruption in which milestone-based fast finality was delayed while Ethereum checkpoint finality stayed active, and the team says transactions remained secure. The incident was traced to a faulty milestone proposal that caused Bor nodes to fork, and it was resolved with Heimdall v0.3.1, a hard fork that removed the faulty milestone, and Bor v2.2.11-beta2, which purged milestone data from local node databases. After these fixes, checkpoints and milestones finalized normally and consensus stability was restored. ## 30. Ethereum Developers Push Toward 60M Gas Limit Ahead of Fusaka - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Ethereum-Developers-Push-Toward-60M-Gas-Limit-Ahead-of-Fusaka?index=0x68b74e8cd0b583f3725e52488c572fc7eb4e7ac93fa529e0406d47ee09e4b0a50f9f34df - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/08/30/ethereum-developers-push-toward-60m-gas-limit-ahead-of-fusaka - Shared 2 September 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum's core developers are working toward a 60 million block gas target before the Fusaka upgrade, aiming for a stronger, more scalable execution base. The article lists state growth, client sync performance and validator stability as bottlenecks that must be resolved first. It also says opcode optimizations for mod and div are reducing execution costs in high-gas environments. Nethermind and PandaOps are leading measurement campaigns with shared real-time performance dashboards, and all major clients must demonstrate mainnet-like stress test readiness before the increase proceeds. ## 31. Highlights from the All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #163 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Consensus-ACDC-Call-163?index=0x68a77d6e07f1a711cdfd71f9e8fca39ee9160476a94e4a217317805cba640fb489bf3064 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/08/21/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-consensus-acdc-call-163 - Shared 21 August 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments The All Core Developers Consensus Call #163, held August 21, 2025, reviewed Ethereum devnet progress, protocol parameters, and early coordination for the Glamsterdam upgrade. Fusaka Devnet-3 was live with a non-finality test in progress and participation near 80%, while Devnet-4 was taken offline after several bugs. Developers said Devnet-5 should be similar in scope to Devnet-4 but larger, with specifications as close as possible to mainnet. Breakout calls were announced for EIP-7928 (Block-Level Access Lists) and EIP-7732 (Enshrined PBS), and all Glamsterdam EIP proposals must be submitted before the Fusaka mainnet release, expected around October 2025. ## 32. Highlights from the All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) Call #218 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Execution-ACDE-Call-218?index=0x689fc529ea47bad7974b73de812405fd67d954cac5014f5d5d196982e7bd4057be99f9c0 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/08/14/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-execution-acde-call-218 - Shared 15 August 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments At ACDE Call #218, Ethereum client teams and researchers reviewed Fusaka Devnet-4 issues, postponed all Sepolia and Holesky fork timeline decisions until Devnet-5 finalises cleanly, and confirmed ePBS (EIP-7732) and BAL (EIP-7928) as Glamsterdam headliners. Erigon computed blob fees incorrectly and forked away from other execution clients during BPO 3, and the fix is merged in Geth and other ELs. Boot-node diversity was improved by switching half the boot nodes to Prysm+Geth pairs, and all teams must update fork-ID logic before Devnet-5 launches. The call also agreed to retain read entries in BAL, adding roughly 50 kB per block. ## 33. Role of Non-Finality Testing in the Fusaka Upgrade - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Role-of-Non-Finality-Testing-in-the-Fusaka-Upgrade?index=0x689d0c51c66d4198970bb356d7c8c9307c47a379b6e102fbe0e5342c3589c6bb0be28963 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/08/09/role-of-non-finality-testing-in-the-fusaka-upgrade - Shared 13 August 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Non-finality testing is presented as one of the most critical pre-fork validation processes for Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade, simulating unstable network conditions to uncover client-specific vulnerabilities and validate recovery. The Fusaka Devnet-3 non-finality tests, led by Nico Flaig, use three phases: validator outages that push participation below 66%, bandwidth throttling of about 30% of validators to 1 Mbps, and network splits and merges. The article says these tests will shape client readiness for September's Holesky and Sepolia forks and precede the targeted November 5, 2025 mainnet launch. ## 34. Highlights from the All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #162 - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Highlights-from-the-All-Core-Developers-Consensus-ACDC-Call-162?index=0x689529810cd056738907e4a88fefbf2753995e0cba3f5f8257e25c17b556b712113908f9 - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/08/07/highlights-from-the-all-core-developers-consensus-acdc-call-162 - Shared 7 August 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum client teams and researchers met on ACDC Call #162 to coordinate the Fusaka upgrade and finalize near-term protocol goals, aligning on a phased path toward a November 5 mainnet target. Matthew Keil of Lodestar proposed a 4-week delay over concerns about code readiness and the lack of a spec freeze, while Justin Traglia cautioned that a 1-month delay could cascade into a 3-month delay because of the year-end holidays. Alex Stokes confirmed that client teams including Prysm and Nimbus considered the September timeline viable. For Glamsterdam, EIP-7732 (ePBS) was selected as the lead feature, while EIP-7805 (FOCIL) was marked CFI and remains a contender for the post-Glamsterdam roadmap. ## 35. Will crypto be mainstream? - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/Will-crypto-be-mainstream?index=0x6890fc5b5570e7cafa4068094ec60806c49b433c912d02113a1ac94e63eb6c9184c1da1a - Source: https://etherworld.co/2025/08/04/will-crypto-be-mainstream - Shared 4 August 2025, 1 upvote, 0 comments Ethereum's path to mainstream use depends on volatility, public mindset, and the inability to reverse blockchain transactions, and it could only become mainstream once it is as secure as modern banking. Ethereum peaked near 5,000 in 2022 before falling nearly 80% in under half a year, and a June 2025 Gallup survey found that 60% of U.S. adults are not interested in buying cryptocurrency. Experts predict volatility would fall if trading volume rises significantly, and credit card companies could refuse crypto until refund mechanisms exist. ## 36.
