Project Management: Meeting notes and agenda items

Ethereum Project Management Repository

This repository is used for project management for various initiatives affecting the Ethereum protocol. The main use of this repository is for the Execution and Consensus Layer AllCoreDevs meetings. It is also used for Breakout Rooms on various protocol-related topics, whose agendas can be found under the Issues page. This Google Calendar also tracks upcoming protocol meetings.

AllCoreDevs Meetings Overview

Purpose

AllCoreDevs is a weekly meeting held by the Ethereum development community to discuss technical issues and coordinate work on the Ethereum protocol. The meetings are attended by core contributors from various organizations. During the call, participants discuss potential protocol changes, testing and other related issues.

On one week, the focus of the call is on Ethereum's consensus layer (i.e. proof-of-stake, the Beacon Chain, etc.) and on alternate weeks, the focus of the call is on Ethereum's execution layer (i.e. the EVM, gas schedules, etc.).

The calls are streamed and saved on the @EthereumProtocol YouTube channel.

Agendas

The agendas for calls are tracked in the Issues tab of this repository. To add an item to an agenda, simply add a comment to one of the agenda issues.

Anyone is welcome to add an item to the agenda as long as it follows these guidelines:

• The topic is technical in nature.
• The topic involves the Ethereum protocol at a low-level. This means Ethereum applications and ERCs are generally not allowed as topics, unless their mention relates to protocol changes.
• The topic should not be philosophical. The core developer meetings are not meant to decide philosophical contentious issues that should be decided by the community. There are exceptions to this, but generally these topics distract from more productive technical discussions. Ethereum Magicians forum is a better venue for such discussions.

Who Can Attend

Protocol developers, researchers and EIP authors are invited to attend the meetings. Generally every Ethereum client is represented as well as key members of testing and security teams, and independent core contributors. Sometimes non-core contributors with particular expertise on a topic are invited on to discuss a specific agenda item. If you feel you would contribute to the meetings by your attendance please reach out to Tim Beiko.

Who Facilitates the Meetings

Early in Ethereum's history, (2015-fall 2016) George Hallam facilitated the AllCoreDevs meetings. Starting in fall 2016, Hudson Jameson took over the meetings. In early 2018 Lane Rettig joined to help facilitate meetings, handle recordings, and publish notes.

Today, Tim Beiko and Danny Ryan respectively facilitate the execution and consensus layer AllCoreDevs meetings. Breakout Rooms are usually chaired by the expert/champion for the topic at hand. The Ethereum Cat Herders provide full transcripts for AllCoreDevs meetings, as well as some Breakout Rooms.

The meetings are independent of any organization. However, Danny Ryan & Tim Beiko are contractors for the Ethereum Foundation and the Ethereum Foundation pays for the video-conference software used in the meetings. Livestreaming instruction for the meetings can be found here.

Agenda

1. Metropolis updates/EIPs.
   a. Any "subtleties" or questions we need to work out.
   1. EIP 206 REVERT Opcode : The "Specification" section in the EIP does not specify that REVERT can return data to the caller. Neither does it specify how the caller can access the returned data. [Yoichi]

1. ERC-20 Token Standard Finalization [Fabian, Nick, or Hudson]

• Point of contention: throw vs return false;

2. Metropolis updates/EIPs.

• a. Details and implementations of EIPs.
  • "Agreeing on gas costs for MODEXP, ECADD, ECMUL, ECPAIRING. For MODEXP specifically, are we going to modify it to somehow incorporate bit length or not?" [Vitalik]
  • Concerns around the REVERT opcode introducing an economic change that may break things and revisiting cost/benefit analysis of the opcode. [Vitalik]
  • "Regarding EIP 96: should the gas price of BLOCKHASH already change from the beginning of the Metropolis, or from the block where the behavior of BLOCKHASH changes?" More info: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/210/files#r117211219 [Yoichi]
  • "Regarding EIP96 (BLOCKHASH contract): should the blockhash-maintainance call at the beginning of each block increment the nonce of SYSTEM_ACCOUNT? https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/210/files#r117260179" [Yoichi]
  • "Regarding EIP98 (med state removal): this should start at (inclusive) METROPOLIS_FORK_BLKNUM instead of one block after that (as written in the EIP). Pointed out by @gumb0 ethereum/EIPs#98 (comment)" [Yoichi]
  • "Regarding EIP 211 (RETURNDATACOPY): the behavior of reading out-of-bounds from the returndata buffer is under discussion." [Yoichi]
• b. Updates to testing.
  • Proposal: "Freeze" EIPs to allow for testing. [Yoichi]
• c. Any "subtleties" we need to work out.
• d. Review time estimate for testing/release.

3. [Time permitting] "If we have time (no high priority), I would like to get some feedback about adding functionality that allows dapps to be notified whenever a certain address was touched by a transaction (including internal calls). This information does not necessarily have to be part of the block, but could be an isolated index database." [Christian R.]

Metropolis Plan Discussion

NOTE: OUTDATED. Please see: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/README.md for latest accepted EIPS.

Metropolis Discussion

Use this issue for discussion around Metro. I will update chart/todo list as comments come in.

Approximate ice age start (according to Vitalik):

• Around March 25th (3 months) - Block time is 15.2 sec.
• Around July 25th (6 months) - Block time is 29.7 sec.

Metropolis Todo

• Decide which EIPs will potentially be in Metro (by way of EIP acceptance)
• Based on chart, decide which EIPs can fit into metro and which ones will not
• Pick a block number for Ropsten/Mainnet Metropolis

EIP Implementation Chart

Note: The EIPs listed in the chart are not necessarily approved for Metro via the EIP acceptance process, but we want to get information as early as possible.

   d. Make sure clients are ready for HF.

2. Account abstraction discussion - "I think we should also slowly bring up account abstraction again. How do the toolset providers think about it? Did we find better solutions in the meantime?"

3. "Some way to reduce the gas costs for an SSTORE if that slot (or the whole contract) is destroyed at the end of the transaction ("ephemeral storage")."

4. EIP 730: Strict encoding order for ABI

5. EIP merging/updates

1. Testing & EIP 1085: Common genesis.json format scheme across all client implementations
2. Client Updates
3. Research Updates
4. EIP 908: Reward clients for a sustainable network - When each transaction is validated, give a reward to clients for developing the client - When each transaction is validated, give a reward to clients for developing the client and provide a reward to full nodes for validating the transaction (Ethereum Magicians thread).
5. EIP 1057: ProgPOW, a programmatic Proof-of-Work - an alternate proof-of-work algorithm - “ProgPoW” - tuned for commodity hardware in order to close the efficiency gap available to specialized ASICs. Technical details.
6. EIP 210: Blockhash refactoring - @holiman wants to finalize a few points:
   a. the original intent (no semantic changes to BLOCKHASH -- only gas changes) versus the current spec (semantic changes), and
   b. whether to make it nicer to ABI-call it, and
   c. whether to add genesis lookup in there.
   d. Fixes for EIP-210 blockhash contract: ethereum/EIPs#1094.
   See this summary document.
7. EIP 1051: Overflow checking for the EVM
8. EIP 1052: EXTCODEHASH Opcode
9. EIP 1087: Net gas metering for SSTORE operations
10. Concerns that using native browser VMs for running eWasm is not DoS hardened. See this comment and this comment.
11. Constantinople hard fork timing and what to include (continuing conversation from last call).
12. Core dev meeting discussion & changes - scope of agenda items, role of participants, etc.

Agenda

1. Testing
2. Client Updates
3. Research Updates
4. Post EIP 1011 (Hybrid Casper) Spec Plans
   1. Now that EIP 1011 is deprecated, is there still the interest among client developers to have a joint testnet, a Ropsten-successor if you want to put it like that?
   2. If yes, and I assume most of us are interested in some effort like this, how could it look like if not like the hybrid Casper proposal?
   3. What smaller steps can/should we take in the meantime while waiting for casper+sharding? (can we just call it "shasper" now?)
5. Possibly changing network Id in Constantinopole (or, alternatively, the format of the handshake message to make it backwards-incompatible).](#50 (comment))
6. Constantinople hard fork timing and what to include (continuing conversation from last call).
   a. EIP 145: Bitwise shifting instructions in EVM: pretty well-formed, but not 100% implemented or tested.
   b. EIP 210: Blockhash refactoring.
   d. EIP 1052: EXTCODEHASH Opcode.
   e. EIP 1087: Net gas metering for SSTORE operations.
   f. EIP 1014: Skinny CREATE2.
   g. Delay ice age?

Proposed Constantinople Timeline
Finalize EIPs that are being implemented: July 13th
Client implementation: July 16th - August 13th
Testing: August 13th - September 10th
Testnet: September 10th - October 1st
Launch: October 8th

This is not final and there will likely be changes. I am soliciting feedback from client devs and testers who will be working on this.
