The latest Ethereum core dev executive meeting decided to delay the release of Devnet #8
Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko wraps up the latest Ethereum core dev executive meeting in Discord. Among other things, the developers agree to continue using regular contracts with system-written transactions, rather than precompiled. Before Monday's test call, developers will try to: (1) agree on a deployment plan (either as part of a fork or manually before a fork); (2) agree on the first contract implementation to use; The 4788 spec submits a PR reflecting this. Once developers agree on a contract, an audit/formal verification process will be initiated.
