Christine Kim, vice president of research at Galaxy, wrote a post summarizing the main content of the 137th ACDC conference call, where developers discussed the progress of Pectra Devnet 1 and PeerDAS Devnet 1, as well as the fork choice test generation research led by Consensys' research team TxRx.
CL and the Execution Layer (EL) client are ready for the release of Pectra Devnet 1, and developers expect to launch the next testnet next week.
EF DevOps engineer Barnabas Busa said that the CL client team is fixing bugs in PeerDAS Devnet 1. Once all client fixes are completed, developers plan to restart PeerDAS Devnet 1 this weekend.
The TxRX research team has implemented an initial version of the fork choice test generator. The test generator is designed to identify bugs in client software that could cause chain splits, as well as any areas where the client software may deviate from the CL specification in important ways.
