Ethereum Core Developers Advance Full EOF Implementation Amid Controversy
Ethereum core developers confirmed plans to implement Full EOF (EVM Object Format) with the upcoming Fusaka fork, alongside the PeerDAS main driver. This overhaul aims to optimize and enhance the safety and modularity of Ethereum's execution engine.
Key points:
- Full EOF is referred to as “Option A” in discussions.
- Felix from the Geth team supports a more moderate approach, Option D, causing some disagreement among peers.
- Pascal Caversaccio criticized EOF's complexity, arguing it does not meet developer demand and may alienate the community.
- Despite objections, Ethereum Foundation staff and client teams like Besu and Erigon support Full EOF for its structural benefits and backward compatibility.
- Tim Beiko acknowledged the complexities involved but emphasized the need to proceed despite them.
- Implementation and testing of EOF will now take precedence following this decision.
