137th Ethereum ACDC Conference: Pectra Devnet 1 to Release New Beta Next Week

Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy, posted a summary of the 137th ACDC conference call, where developers discussed the progress of PectraDevnet1 and PeerDASDevnet1, as well as the fork selection test generation study led by Consensys' research team TxRx. The CL and Execution Layer (EL) client side are ready for the release of PectraDevnet1, and developers expect to launch the next testnet next week. EFDevOps engineer Barnabas Busa says the CL client side team is working on fixing the bug in PeerDASDevnet1. Once all client side fixes are complete, developers plan to restart PeerDASDevnet1 this weekend. The TxRX research team has implemented an initial version of the fork selection test generator. The test generator is designed to identify bugs in the client side software that could cause the chain to split, as well as any areas where the client side software might deviate from the CL specification in a significant way.
