Ethereum core developers agree to include EVM Object Format (EOF) in the Pectra upgrade
ChainCatcher message, Ethereum core developers have agreed to include the EVM Object Format (EOF) in the upcoming Pectra upgrade. As described in EIP-7692, EOF involves about 11 EIPs that provide an optional container for EVM code to improve code verification and introduce new features.If EOF becomes a blocking factor, it will be separated into a different fork to ensure that Pectra can proceed without significant delays. EOF will not be part of the initial version of devnet 1. The Pectra upgrade will also include the account abstraction standard EIP-7702 proposed by Vitalik Buterin. Overall, Pectra is considered a comprehensive upgrade, planned to include 19 EIPs, making it one of the broadest upgrades in Ethereum's history.
