The 173rd Ethereum ACDC Meeting: Glamsterdam Upgrade Faces Progress Pressure

According to a post by Christine D. Kim on platform X summarizing the 173rd Ethereum consensus layer core developer meeting, to launch the Glamsterdam upgrade before mid-year, developers may need to significantly scale down the upgrade.

Although there has not yet been an official acknowledgment of discrepancies in planning and timelines, if issues do exist, they need to be resolved by the end of February. Key discussion points from the meeting include: if a compatible version of EIP-7732 cannot be achieved by the end of February, it will be considered for removal from Glamsterdam and postponed to a future hard fork; performance issues with nodes were discovered in the Consensys Teku client during mainnet stress testing, affecting progress; EIP-7928 requires clients to conduct a small-scale API review; the submission deadline for the Hegota upgrade Headliner EIP proposal is February 4; some client teams have completed preliminary work on the EIP-7688 library update.
