Geth, Besu, Nethermind and TurboGeth are all working on some sort of flat-DB approach for their client. I'd like to see whether there is appetite to have 1-2 calls focused on that so we can share ideas/designs/etc. on each of our approaches.

There is now a structured (aware of special properties of the inputs) differential fuzzer for EIP-2537 that is also compatible with similar proposals like EIP-2539 and EIP-3026. One can just install Rust and Go, pull the repo and just ./run_sh to try and fuzz implementations of 2537 from OE/Nethermind and Geth.

NB: there is no fuzzing between gas estimation functions outputs yet, but it will be included.

It will allow to get a consistent approach to inclusion of EC crypto primitives.

Hey @timbeiko - We can discuss the updated status of EIP-2565 for Besu/Nethermind if time is available.

I added specifications for the Yolo networks to the Eth 1 specs repo. We can use these to track YOLO versions.
