【Ethereum ACDC#144 Summary: Developers plan to include EIP 7742 in Pectra to dynamically set blob gas targets and maximum limits】 on October 20, Christine Kim, vice president of research at Galaxy, published an article summarizing the main content of the 144th Ethereum Core Developer Consensus Meeting (ACDC #144):Developers agreed to include a new code change EIP 7742 in Pectra, which enables the beacon chain to dynamically set the network's target and maximum blob gas limit. The inclusion of EIP 7742 suggests that developers may also increase the target and maximum blob gas limit in Pectra. However, some developers raised concerns in the conference call that the inclusion of additional EIPs (especially EIP 7742) would delay the activation of other Pectra code changes on the mainnet. Developers also discussed the progress of testing for Pectra and PeerDAS development.Francis Li, a developer of L2 rollup Base, introduced the urgency and rationale for Pectra to increase blob capacity. Li suggested increasing the blob gas target to 5 and the maximum to 8, as well as additional work on the network layer, such as implementing engine_getBlobsV1. Busa noted that the increase in blob capacity should be combined with the deployment of EIP 7742, which introduces a mechanism to dynamically set the blob gas target and maximum limit through CL. Busa said that the current mechanism for setting these parameters is difficult to change, and introducing EIP 7742 will ensure that developers can easily adjust these settings in the future, for example, with upgrades like PeerDAS. However, Busa also noted that EIP 7742 requires additional work from the EL and CL client teams to deploy, and may delay Pectra's timeline by 1 to 2 months. He urged developers to consider starting work on deploying EIP 7742 as early as possible to avoid unnecessary delays to Pectra's upgrade.
