## Eth News and Links
All core devs – execution (ACDE)

ACDE [# 187 call video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYfzpSme7Cg&t=155s "# 187 call video").  Recap from [Tim Beiko](https://twitter.com/TimBeiko/status/1788621887884439869 "Tim Beiko").  Notes from [Christine Kim](https://www.galaxy.com/insights/research/ethereum-all-core-developers-execution-call-187/ "Christine Kim"):

**[Pectra-devnet-0](https://notes.ethereum.org/ethpandaops/pectra-devnet-0#Client-implementation-tracker "Pectra-devnet-0")**: launch early next week, some client teams completed implementations

**EIP7702 set EOA account code for one transaction**: successor to EIP3074, aimed at improving EOAs and aligned with ERC4337 account abstraction

Broad support for including in Pectra

**SSZ priority**: client teams didn’t support changing to SSZ in Pectra

**EOF**: Meta EIP & EIP7698 creation transaction added to Pectra considered for inclusion

**EIP7623 increase calldata costs**: [gas sheltering](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IUJ2TmcNdJbagPEjpZoBohpXEyjfaTJ8FZT4kydJDak "gas sheltering") concerns theoretically possible but deemed not viable

**Reentrancy protection**: EIP7705 reentrancy opcodes proposed to lower protection cost

### Pectra (Prague + Electra) upgrade (meta {1715564592333753}), small fork targeting late 2024

consensus-specs [v1.5.0-alpha.2](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/releases/tag/v1.5.0-alpha.2 "v1.5.0-alpha.2"): test case fixes for Electra and fixes for PeerDAS initial interop

[EVM Object Format (EOF)](https://evmobjectformat.org/ "EVM Object Format (EOF)") website, work in progress
### Centralization watch: threatening the value of your ETH
**🚨 [Lido at 28.7%](https://dune.com/hildobby/eth2-staking "Lido at 28.7%") still too close to [33.3% threshold](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0ddkSa1ZuI&t=1050s "33.3% threshold")**

**[Proposal to create Lido Research](https://research.lido.fi/t/regoose-updated-goals-for-lido-in-the-light-of-mvi-and-restaking/7462 "Proposal to create Lido Research") to contribute to minimal viable issuance research**

Client diversity (via [clientdiversity.org](https://clientdiversity.org/#distribution "clientdiversity.org")):

Execution layer: **Geth ~62%** majority

**[Figment](https://twitter.com/figment_io/status/1787534701617414422 "Figment") went Geth free**

Consensus layer: **Prysm 37%**

Any client bug over 33.3% could mean loss of finality

**[Options for validators to share client info](https://ethresear.ch/t/research-report-allowing-validators-to-share-client-information-privately-a-project-by-nethermind-research/19506 "Options for validators to share client info"): graffiti, gossip or voting**
