Highlights from the All Core Developers Consensus (ACDC) Call #162

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.
