A page for Shanghai Upgrade

• Active discussion for CFI

EIP-3540: EVM Object Format (EOF) v1 [+]
https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3540

We introduce an extensible and versioned container format for the EVM with a once-off validation at deploy time. The version described here brings the tangible benefit of code and data separation, and allows for easy introduction of a variety of changes in the future. This change relies on the reserved byte introduced by EIP-3541.

Similarly add all the proposals.

Arrow Glacier

This is a planned upgrade to delay the difficulty bomb to be noticeable in May 2022.

It is expected in December 2021 with deploying the EIP-4345: Difficulty Bomb Delay to May 2022 on the Ethereum mainnet.

Authors Tim Beiko & James Hancock propose the difficulty bomb to push to 10,500,000 blocks later than the actual block number. It is targeting for the Shanghai upgrade and/or the Merge to occur before May 2022. Either the bomb can be readjusted at that time, or removed altogether.

To understand how “Difficulty bomb” works in Ethereum blockchain, follow the recording of PEEPanEIP #39: Difficulty bomb & EIP-3554 with James Hancock
