Beiko says selecting the headline feature is Ethereum’s highest-stakes governance decision. Each hard fork should include no more than one headliner per layer. The process begins by defining a “Fork Focus”, a strategic goal (e.g., scaling, security, simplicity) that guides proposal evaluation. Headliner proposals must follow a clear template outlining their benefits, trade-offs, technical readiness, stakeholder impact, and risks. The proposals still move through the PFI → CFI → SFI stages and must be submitted via Ethereum Magicians for feedback. Beiko emphasized that decisions must weigh not just technical merit but also opportunity costs, ecosystem impact, and community consensus. He suggests formalizing Working Groups to coordinate long-term protocol efforts, ensuring alignment with Ethereum’s roadmap through regular check-ins with AllCoreDevs. PumpTheGas 60m Block Gas LimitPumpthegas.org, an educational website created by Eric Conoar and Mariano Conti, now recommends that Ethereum validators increase the block gas limit to 60 million units. Raising the block gas limit allows each block to include more data, effectively boosting transaction throughput on Layer 1. Raising the block gas limit does not require a hardfork; validators can implement the change by modifying their node configuration. The website provides the necessary flags for consensus and execution clients to help validators adopt the new setting. According to data from gaslimit.pics, nearly 80% of validators already signal support for a block gas limit of 36 million or higher.Polygon Launches VaultBridgePolygon launched VaultBridge, a new yield-generating protocol for EVM chains. VaultBridge enables L2 chains connected to the Agglayer to integrate a built-in revenue stream based on their Total Value Locked (TVL). The mechanism leverages Morpho Protocol and Ethereum’s ERC-4626 vault standard to generate revenue. When users bridge assets to a participating L2, they receive 1:1 pegged tokens on the destination AggChain, while the underlying assets remain on the origin chain and are routed to Morpho vaults. The vaults are managed by Gauntlet and Steakhouse Financial, using chain-specific risk profiles. Chains that opt in retain governance over how their yield is distributed.Other NewsGreg: PSA EIP-7702 RisksCoinbase Wallet teases social feedSound enters maintenanceL2 fees drop after PectraEF ESP Q1 allocation updateDisclaimer: Content is for informational purposes only, not endorsement or investment advice.
