# Geth Glamsterdam Headliner Assessment This is our tier list of EIPs for the Glamsterdam headliner selection. We believe BALs (EIP-7928) are the only viable option for headliner, reasons given below. ### Block-level Access Lists (EIP-7928) This proposal enables parallel tx execution and also has the potential to remove a failure condition in snap sync. Specifically, if implemented in a certain way, BALs can be used to heal the state during sync. This would be a big improvement for the sync user experience and also make the sync time more deterministic. ### Delayed Execution (EIP-7886) This proposal mostly has benefits for the consensus layer. It gives the CL more time to do things within the slot interval. We would like to note that a CL headliner selection of ePBS might make this proposal redundant. On the execution side, we believe the introduction of Delayed Execution may pose unknown risks related to incentives and attacks. The latest version of the EIP, where tx fees are pre-paid by the sender, also seems to have bad effects on user experience. ### Pureth (EIP-7919) This is more of a meta-proposal. Pureth contains some good changes: - New log index (EIP-7745). We are pursuing this as a non-headliner, so we want this in Glamsterdam. - ETH transfer logs (EIP-7708). This is an often-requested feature, and could also be realized in combination with EIP-7745. - Improved receipts format (EIP-6466). An update to receipts merkelization and encoding is overdue, and we feel this EIP sets a good direction. Overall, we don't agree with the bundling of all the changes into a headliner. The individual EIPs in the proposal should be assessed independently. ### EOF / EVM64 We don't want to pursue these proposals for Glamsterdam.
