Important signals emerged at the latest developer conference for Ethereum execution layer.



The core issue is that the EIP-7843 (slot opcode) proposal is stuck. Why? Because it involves coordination between the consensus layer and execution layer, requiring changes on both sides, which extends the timeline. As a result, progress on BALs Devnet-2 has been postponed.

On the other hand, the news is not very optimistic — seven EIPs proposed for inclusion in the Glamsterdam upgrade were directly rejected. It seems the ecosystem is still aligning on the next direction.

However, EIP-7954 has attracted attention. Its main change is to increase the smart contract size limit from 24KB to 32KB. Although it appears to be just a numerical change, it is significant for projects aiming to deploy more complex business logic. This proposal is now under serious consideration.

Overall, Ethereum continues to experiment with optimizing execution efficiency and network flexibility. Every technical adjustment ultimately impacts the ecosystem's applications and developers' experience.

Another batch of EIPs rejected. The coordination cost is just too high. Going from 24KB to 32KB sounds small, but does it really make a difference?

Stuck at 7843 is indeed awkward; coordinating two layers is such a hassle... However, when 7954 mentioned 32KB, I was actually curious to see what kind of tricks could be pulled off.

Getting stuck again, can't coordinate on both sides this time? Truly incredible.

It's another coordination issue that stalls progress. I've seen this pattern too many times... EIP-7954 relaxes the contract size limit, but we'll have to see if hackers find loopholes to deploy complex risk contracts later on.
