✅ YouTube Live: Watch LiveI'd like to bring up the inclusion of testing_buildBlockV1 (ethereum/execution-apis#747) for bal-devnet-4 onwards (so not the next devnet, but the one after). cc @MysticRyuujin
Reacted by Mario Vega@yperbasis via discord on Erigon status for devnet-2:
We've finished our bal-devnet-2 implementation (kudos to Mark Holt) and pass all the tests more or less. We're working on a couple of remaining flaky tests and pesky races in parallelized execution.
I want to briefly bring up some issues we've been having with the EELS testing framework for 8037. The EIP adds a new paradigm at a high level on the framework: gas costs are now dependent on the block gas limit via cost per state byte. This impacts not only the framework but a lot of tests >600 files. We're working on a good framework solution for this but if we don't get there by ACDE we might want to consider making the
cost_per_state_bytea fork constant, this massively reduces he complexity on the framework side, and will enable us to get tests out.Similary on 8037, how do we want to tackle tracing (originally brought up by SamWilsn). We have added
stateGasandstateGasCostto the EELS tracer alongsidegasandgasCost. Should we update EIP-3155 with this?Making cost_per_state_byte a fork constant would kinda defeat the purpose of 8037 tbh.
The whole idea is to be able to change the gas limit independent of hardforks, otherwise we could just go with fixed costs. Maybe a way forward would be to postpone 8037 to devnet-4 to give testing teams more time to update their framework with this new paradigm. But I do think we will use this paradigm more and more in the future, so it makes sense to spend some time to create a good solution for itI think we should update 3155 with the stateGas and stateGasCost.
