[mkalinin]

I would like to discuss advanced on chain aggregation in the context of EIP-7549:

• Potential approach: EIP-7549: Move committee index outside Attestation consensus-specs#3559 (comment)
• Attester slashing complexity increase: EIP-7549: Move committee index outside Attestation consensus-specs#3559 (comment)

[michaelneuder]

if there is time, I'd like to discuss EIP-7547 :-)

• [draft] spec change overview: https://notes.ethereum.org/@mikeneuder/il-spec-overview

[potuz]

I would like to discuss the possible inclusion of ePBS in Electra given today's events on mainnet. I propose we consider inclusion of a design like here, but open to have a more thorough discussion on the possibility to prioritize R&D with the objective of shipping ePBS in Electra or the following fork as long as it's scoped no later than 2025.

It would be nice to finally decide our portmanteau for prague/electra...! If we can't do this in like 2 minutes on the call, maybe..... we have a breakout room for this?

@lightclient named Prague + Electra upgrade as Pectra on all core devs - execution 178.

I’ve been using Pectra in my favourite newsletter ever since.

Though Praglectra as the newest Pokémon is cool: https://x.com/icebearhww/status/1750542646366593451

Dencun mainnet upgrade scheduler:

Epoch 268032 at UTC 2024-03-06 18:05:11 isn't great for Australia but ok everywhere else.

[timbeiko]

@abcoathup that comment by @lightclient feels a bit minimal to go off, but I'm fine using it as a starting point 😄

[etan-status]

Some more background related the light client roadmap (SSZ and so on)
