At the recent ACDE meeting hosted by Tim Beiko of the Ethereum Foundation on February 2, the promoters discussed the operation schedule of the public test network promoted by Shaingahi, which will generate the ability to delete ETH from the Beacon chain.

Issued by Zhejiang Test Network

The first iteration of the Shanghai update was deployed to a test network named Zhejiang on February 1, and received strong support from 61000 verifiers.

However, Barnabus Busa, the DevOps technical engineer of the Ethereum Foundation, commented that "because the CL software client may have configuration problems, the test network has been trying to solve a new ETH deposit", according to the Galaxy report.

It is estimated that this problem will be handled and deployed to Zhejiang Province on February 7.

The route map of the future test network deployment promoted by Shanghai will be determined at the next consensus (ACDC) meeting of all key developers scheduled for February 9. Beko focuses on:

"The Ethereum customer elite team should prepare in advance to reduce the introduction of Sepolia Shanghai test network shortly after the ACDC network meeting next Thursday."

Sepolia's deployment in Shanghai is expected to run in mid-late February. The developer confirmed on the phone that they are "ready to move forward"

Regarding the decision to deploy to Sepolia before Goerli, Danny Ryan, the current chairman of the ACDC Network Conference, said that,

"I think it is meaningful to apply Sepolia before Goerli, because Goerli is applied by more validators beyond the limited combination, because it gives more time for text documents and tools to become more robust."

As long as the deployment of the test network is successful, the main network in Beijing will be launched in mid-late March.

EIP-4844 type

Along with the proximity of EIP-4844, the next upgrade of the program deployment, namely Cancun, was also discussed.

According to Diederik Loerakker, a researcher of Ethereum in OP Lab, EIP-4844 will add Proto Danksharding to Ethereum blockchain technology and introduce db blocks as "the first milestone towards detailed Ethereum blockchain, which will increase the inductive volume of Optimism by 100 times".

An Ethereum developer website dedicated to EIP-4844 describes the benefits of the update, including improved induction, reduced costs, low hard disk utilization, blobs in Beacon connection points instead of decision makers, and pruning blobs every two weeks.

At the ACDE network meeting, Jacek Glen from imapp said that the EIP-4844 test caused a "significant difference" in the price of natural gas, and there were no basic problems that would hinder the development and design. As a result, ACDE allows for smooth progress and inspection at a later time.

The developer once again discusses the implementation of "blob" and whether he should browse memtools. However, Ethereum Nethermind developer Ł Ukasz Rozmej commented that "zero blob trading" may become a problem.

"For the general user experience, customer experience and ease of use, there is also a question mark. If we mark this transaction as a blob transaction, I think they have a special industry... so they have special salary treatment.

If we allow zero blob transactions, then such logical reasoning will be broken, and then you should check how many blobs they have according to the transaction rules. "

Ansgar Dietrichs also published his scientific research on the separation of blockchain and blob production and manufacturing based on the establishment of the sub-internet. This proposal aims to reduce the network bandwidth of Ethereum clients and increase the production of bob.

Vitalik SSZ proposal

Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum, also proposed five new SSZ transaction methods, which can help maintain backward compatibility when upgrading the network to EIP-4844 and other new basic data types. Simple Serialization (SSZ) replaces the RLP method used at the decision-making level by the serialization method used on the transmission gate chain. Vitalik's proposal aims to "complete all the work at one time to prevent the additional cost incurred by multi-process connection project". A new proposal category includes:

On February 7, when Etan Kissling, the developer of Ethereum Nimbus, asked a question about the change of SSZ's EIP-4844 code, the SSZ format conversation lasted until the later mobile phone.
