<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This upgrade follows the Epctra update and continues the tradition of naming consensus layer upgrades after stars, with Fulu referencing a star in the Cassiopeia constellation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Buterin continued to emphasize the &#8220;crazy strong&#8221; fundamentals of the Ethereum network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an August 22 post, he responded to user queries and highlighted that the transaction fee on Ethereum's Layer 2 is less than $0.01. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also praised two <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/ethereum-virtual-machine-aurora-raises-12m-in-its-first-funding-round.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12251\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)<\/a> Layer 2 solutions, Arbitrum and Optimism, and mentioned that the network has &#8220;much more clarity on account abstraction roadmap.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent maintenance update to Go Ethereum (Geth), released on August 12, 2024, with version 1.14.18, included various bug fixes and performance improvements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there were some issues, as Geth produced invalid blocks on the Pectra Devnet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stokes noted, &#8220;Geth client has produced a couple of invalid blocks on Pectra Devnet 2, which developers are investigating.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These issues are currently being addressed, and updates are expected to be incorporated into the launch of Pectra Devnet 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The development also includes EIP 2935, which involves storing historical block hashes in the state. It's important to note that this change will not impact client implementations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethereum developers are actively discussing potential developments in meetings scheduled every week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vitalik Buterin emphasized Ethereum&#8217;s low supermajority risk, stating that no execution client surpassed 66.6% market share.
