The Great Renaming

With London shipped and Altair on the way, it is now time to make good on the promise we had made Micah: to rename “eth1” and “eth2” to “execution” and “consensus” across Github, Discord, etc.

To make sure we’re doing this coherently, here’s a list of hopefully all things to rename, and what we should rename it to.

General Principles

Github

Other repositories haven’t been touched since mid-2020, so probably not worth updating.

Discord

By Category

Specific channels stay as is unless otherwise noted.

Calls

Currently, we have recurring AllCoreDevs and Eth2 calls. Should we rename these to “Execution Layer” and “Consensus Layer” calls?

Ethereum Forschungsingenieurtagung

The Ethereum Foundation is organizing an L1 research and engineering workshop in Berlin at web3.hub on June 9-13, 2025. Expect a mix between past interop events and R&D workshops! Workshop Structure & Goals Implementation Tracks Two parallel client engineering tracks will run for the entire week: Fusaka Interop & Performance Engineering, with the following goals: Run an all-client Fusaka devnet that steadily handles 12 blobs per block being submitted with the same architecture as mainnet (external builders, realistic L2 transaction payloads, etc.).Stretch Goal: Run a PeerDAS devnet with 24, 36 & 48 blobs per block being submitted without crashing. Run all clients in high gas settings to benchmark their opcode/precompile performance, get state growth benchmarks and analyze CL security implications.

Nyota Interop Milestones ✨

[toc] Context The purpose of Nyota is to work together on Pectra, Verkle & PeerDAS ✨ By bringing together the various client, testing and research teams involved in these efforts, we can accelerate progress on finding+fixing cross-client issues, finalizing specs, and getting these upgrades shipped. As such, the three high-level goals for Nyota are: Pectra: all-client-pairs devnet running smoothly

Besu Client Incentive Program - August 2023 Changes

Important note: this program superceeds any previous version of the Besu Client Incentive Program, including the one publicly shared on the Hyperledger Besu Wiki. [toc] Context The Ethereum Foundation's Client Incentive Program aims to incentivize client teams to build performant software for use on the Ethereum mainnet. Generally, client implementation are maintained by a single organization, and CIP grants have been offered to the organizations who maintain these clients. Due to its different maintainership structure, Hyperledger Besu's program was designed to accomodate a more diverse set of contributors. A version of the Hyperledger Besu CIP refleting this is available here.
