Fusaka has hit mainnet as of December 3, introducing PeerDAS
New Solidity release v0.8.31
Tempo testnet is now live
Controversy around ePBS trustless payments
AllCoreDevs Update
Per the discussion on ACDT 62, the decision on whether to include trustless payments in ePBS will be made during the next ACDC.
It was noted during ACDE 225 that a Prysm bug caused mainnet participation to drop to ~79%. By the time of the call on December 4, participation recovered to ~98%.
In addition, new scoping decisions have been made for Glamsterdam:
CFI
EIP-7778
EIP-7708
EIP-7843
EIP-8024
EIP-8070
DFI
EIP-8011 (multidimensional gas; noteworthy as this was quite well-researched)
EIP-8053
EIP-8059
EIP-8057
EIP-7791
EIP-7819
EIP-7979
EIP-8013
EIP-7619
EIP-7932
EIP-8030
EIP-6404
EIP-6466
The decision on FOCIL is deferred to next ACDC.
Ethereum News & Discussion
Fusaka mainnet went live on December 3, 2025. Its most notable addition is PeerDAS, which will result in the gradual increase of the network’s blob capacity, ultimately allowing rollups to increase their throughput.
The Solidity blog published a recap of the 2025 edition of the Solidity Summit
The Ethereum Foundation blog published a recap of Devconnect Argentina
The Ethereum Foundation blog posted an outline of their allocations for Q3 2025 of the Ecosystem Support Program
A conversation emerged on X where some voiced their disagreements with the push to include trustless payments in ePBS.

BuilderNet released v1.6 on December 2. Check out the blog post here.
Prysm encountered an issue that resulted in degradation of participation on mainnet. However, the Ethereum network continued despite this due to client diversity.
Fusaka BPO1 is now live, with up to 15 blobs being posted on mainnet.
Research Update
Tracing bad funds through shielded pools by MichaelConnor
A proposal for shielded pools that embeds re-randomized, selectively decryptable lineage metadata in notes—revealed only when a deposit is blacklisted—to let users privately quantify and “decontaminate” tainted value while minimizing global graph leakage, at the cost of MPC key-holder trust, periodic reset operations, and significant circuit complexity.
ProofLedger: Core Tenets and Mathematical Framework Based on ProofLedger Documentation by belgutu
A proposed three-layer “Continuous Verifiable Reality” protocol—combining reputation-weighted oracles securing physical RWAs, legally bound ERC‑721 digital twins, and Basel III–aligned risk modeling—claims to enable high‑throughput institutional adoption while delivering quantified benefits (40–60% risk‑weight reductions, 20–30% capital relief, and faster settlement), supported by explicit oracle economics and verification discounts translating data integrity into measurable regulatory capital efficiency.
Framework for AltDA Secure Integration on Ethereum by bxue-l2
A formal framework for secure AltDA integration in Ethereum L2s models derivation as deterministic transformations from L1 AltDA commitments to blobs to rollup payloads, requiring binding commitments, total and correct Data Availability Verifiers with recency checks, and deterministic decoding to prevent forks and halts under malicious sequencer behavior, and it outlines light-client verification and references audited implementations adhering to these principles.
Threshold Encrypted Mempools with mev-commit Preconfirmations by pepae
A threshold-encrypted mempool integrating Shutter keypers with mev-commit preconfirmations enables blind builder commitments enforced by slashing and oracle-verified top-of-block inclusion, mitigating frontrunning and censorship today without consensus changes while outlining tradeoffs, security analyses, validator-sidecar integration, a Hoodi testnet PoC, and a roadmap toward end-to-end pre-execution privacy and potential in-protocol enforcement.
