Pooja Ranjan:
- As we all know Shanghai is the next plan upgrade that is expected on Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum cat herders have updated a page for Shanghai There's a dedicated page where people can find out what's up in Shanghai. What proposals are there and if there's any important meetings going on that they might be interested to follow along. The upgrade is expected sometime* in 2023. We have updated the page with CFI proposals, US breakout recording that happened last Friday. The upgrade checklist is also available at ethereumcatherders.com/shanghai_upgrade . If you have any resources or information that you'd like to be added to that page. You can create an issue there or create a ?? We just want our community to know well in advance what is expected with Shanghai any kind of confusion ?? any network upgrade. As I mentioned about EF ?? breakout room. This meeting happened last Friday. There is discussion around EVM proposals to be considered for Shanghai upgrade. The general agreement was to have all or none of the EVM on the next upgrade. The team epsilon has proposed 5 proposals which are there to improve the current EVM and the discussion suggested having all or none in order to avoid any kind of changes at the last minute. ?? suggested a test now names “Shangdown”* Shangdown* is a test net started by EtheruemGSteam* end it is proposed for Shanghai proposals for now. The version one contained we EVM proposals because just trying to check out the proposals that were there under CFI. However ?? is out now and the shanghai.eth.org.io Shanghai has been rebooted on Sunday with a new ID. The content for test net has been shared with the US meeting on Friday and we have a list. According to the list the Shanghai core contains 4 proposals the EIP3651, EIP3855, EIP3860, EIP4895 . However we are expecting the version two with 4 proposals EIP3540, EIP3670, EIP4200, EIP4750 . There is another that is up for discussion and that is a big proposal EIP 4844 Some people are expecting to have a separate test net for that is going to have both proposals and education there providing that will have its own separate test net. Talking about test Nets there are a couple of test nuts under discussion at this moment. Goerli and Roxton*. Team Goerli had a committee meeting last week and it was further discussed in the all core Dev. And consensus layer meeting. The present issue with Goerli is that it will have the test ether it seems some people are trying to trade it. There are people showing up on Discord asking about trading options of Eth. Goerli which is not right. We don't believe that test Eth. should be treated. The general recommendation is please do not buy it. ?? recommended to migrate to the Sipolia and we see that Sipolia is there for the longer-term and we hoping to have further discussion on the up coming all core dev meeting this Thursday. Similarly we hope to have a discussion around the date for rubston Sunset so watch out for the next meeting which is planned on Thursday at 1400 UTC. We have also added the link to specs on ELN ?? you can find it on Shanghai and ?? respectively. Any question so far? I know this is just general update. OK in that case maybe we can move on.
Pooja Ranjan:
- I have 2 hackathons added here - ETHIndia and ETHDenver. If you want to know about more hackathons, we do have a Channel on Ethereum cat herders discord. please share any hackathon event that you're aware of . We will be happy to add it over here and let the community know how to participate and if you're planning to join. Moving on the next one here is about sponsoring events and hackathons. I have been considering like we get to know many people here many people join Ethereum cat herders discord to find a way to be able to contribute to Ethereum community we are trying to share information every time we get the opportunity to but I have been considering expanding the support sponsoring events with small prizes. For implementing any proposal under discussion. I would like to hear thoughts of people joined here. Like what do they think about encouraging people to maybe be able to use EIPs in hackathons and all. Are they open to cut herders providing some small bounty for these kind of implementations. I don't see any objection here. Actually, I got in touch with the ETHGlobal team and came across the template by which they providing this opportunity to many projects in the ecosystem they can be able to encouraged hackathon participants to be using their product similarly we would like to encourage hackathon participants to be using EIP Core interface
- networking or probably ERC.
- If people have strong opinions that we should not do that please come forward even if not in this meeting, you may reach out on the discord channel otherwise we will try to move ahead in this direction and I will continue with even organizing in future cat herders meetings how about the Project.
- MGD & ConsenSys Fellowship Mentorship
- I have been a part of that I am currently mentoring three girls there who are, those are the girls assigned, they are participating in this MGD fellowship sponsored by consensus.
- The next one is huddle01
- So last week we had a meeting with huddle team they gave a demo how huddle can be used to organize the kind of meeting like the current cat herders meeting. We are having right now. It seems to be working fine with most of the aspects. So there are a few imitations in terms of the recording is done in only one form, like we can have only, not specific as we have multiple options in Zoom but that's not a problem for etheneum cat herders meeting I believe. I would be open to other thoughts if people want to share good or bad or anything about this particular app. What do people think generally about having the next meeting with the huddle app?
Santhosh J:
- Yep we should give it a try, for next ??
William Schwab:
- I am fine with that also.
Pooja Ranjan:
- Very good so in that case, so what we can do is share meeting link in advance in the agenda and obviously will try to update that in cat herders events so people can join the huddle link instead of the zoom link that we usually provide. So we can give it a try and obviously try to have a back up in place. In case that anything doesn't work well. We will have a back up to be uploaded later on however my experiences with the dev meeting we have we should not face any challenges. So thank you let's give it a try.
Pooja Ranjan:
- I think it is form the past week. I did not get a chance to update it. But obviously we do have a link to all social media here. We can have the latest Data updated there. I will do that. ECH Website. So we have 6 small bugs which were found with the update option ?? we have now added ?? button on the homepage ECH website so people can find it easily and as I mentioned earlier we have updated with the resources available with EIP-4844 and breakout room meeting. All these rare small buttons fixes so it was done at once so it was done at 1 PR all details are added here if people find any ?? or anything to be added to the ethereum cat herders website please create an issue or a pull request we would like the Ethereum cat herders website to be useful for the community so any and every information related to upgrade or related to Ethereum in general are welcome to be added there.
- ECH engineering
- The first is EIP bot I can see Jose on the call Jose if you'd like to share any thoughts on that.
JA:
- Yes hello as I said on the last meeting I found maybe three candidates now I'm going to try to talk to ?? if they are working on it of not. So I can proceed to continue.
Pooja Ranjan:
- Sounds good I think there’s a message I think that's a general update that I can share with people. People that may have submitted funding requests for the month of October. all of them have been confirmed as of this morning I hope we will be executing all of them right after this meeting. Whoever has submitted the request since yesterday seventh of November receiving their funds today.
- Learn2Earn App
- We have good ?? obviously people are using the app so we are ?? sooner then the expected timeline. This is good news of course we're happy that people are taking interest in that. But every time ?? team to be something difficult in terms of we're getting the limited number of poaps for distribution so we've started to come up with our own NFT version of it. And to deploy it on not on Ethereum in order to save the cost for users to take these quizzes and get their rewards. We are working on the idea of having the contract deployed on polygon chain for this app and distribution and NFT and we and there’s a small deviation from the last meeting we were hoping to have the minting cost be sponsored by a ethereum cat herders but in order to protect a bot attack or something similar in that direction we are hoping that we do not sponsor the meeting let it be by the user who is trying to get the reward or NFT after the quiz. For that we would be needing a multi Sigg for the contract deploying and maybe sending some funds over there so they can be managed. I'm curious to hear what do people here about having this on polygon chain the NFT versos of it on Polygon chain and if there are people interested in joining that multi Sigg to the contract part of it.
William Schwab:
- I have a conflict of interest I work for Polygon. So I'm not going to vote on that issue but if you want me to be on the Multi Sigg I will.
Pooja Ranjan:
- Awesome we were hoping for you to have in the meeting with ?? that is would be great to have you. Hopefully George would be creating a new Multi sigg and we can have you there and I don’t know ?? but yes if we do then good to have you there to. Anyone else form this certain group have anything ??
William Schwab:
- I guess I can Play devils advocate a bit. Which is why polygon?
Pooja Ranjan:
- For etheruem like um we we try to do it with poap but because people can print it on ?? and there are not charges right. so they can go ahead and do that. But when it comes to Ethereum it may increase the hesitation in people.
William Schwab:
- There’s a lot of other, no i understand why not ethereum main net but you also got optimism you've got Arbitron you've got a lot of others.
Pooja Ranjan:
- So we did consider optimism and Arbitron but research suggests that people that are taking those quizzes are not well-versed with the web3 and provided throwing them something very advanced. In terms of Arbitron and Optimism. Maybe a Challenge for them however polygon seems to be a popular option and that should be taken into consideration. Do we want it to be a tool of ethereum but yes that is a good option for us.
William Schwab:
- What makes it more complicated to is to optimism and ??
Pooja Ranjan:
- Yes popularity is one of the criteria for discussion yeah I'm open for it. Do we want to have an optimism? We can do that. We haven't started on it yet
William Schwab:
- Again I am playing devils advocate. I thoroughly work for polygon. I feel like we should make it an open conversation at least.
Pooja Ranjan:
- Right I am happy that you're bringing this up. It really feels like somehow like we are driving the ?? when we are meeting with less parties ?? meeting happens every Wednesday at 5pm UTC time I know that is a bad time for you William Schwab but yes we just about Arbitron and optimism would be the only reason to have polygon because it's popular and people will be more familiar with polygon versus optimism and Arbitron. You are etheruem member and your advice would be very welcome. So if you think we should go with optimism we can do that.
William Schwab:
- Laughing I am fine with it being on polygon I just like wanted to pop the question.
Pooja Ranjan:
- I don’t want to put you on the spot here. Thank you so much for having this open conversation so. Yeah OK so let me put it this way if people think that that we should not use polygon but we should instead use Arbitron or optimism like to hear their part so please share it on discord or any other channel of Ethereum cat herders and we will bring it into active discussion. We do have a channel with ethereum cat herders on discord so you can share your thoughts over there too otherwise we will consider polygon as another best option to get this contract deployed. Right now those four quizzes we have a one that is fully exhausted however three quizzes we do have 40+ Poaps so we coping they well be there form some time. … ok so that is all on learn2earn. After the change of the NFT Poap thing we're also hoping to have some new features added to it so if comes into mind that you think that is missing from the current app or what you think for any ?? user. Who use our app and are able to learn things faster we do have a feedback form on the app so please let us know improved feature you would like to see. So we can have that done. So that's all on learn2earn. Anyone have any final questions comments? Very well let's move ahead to ECH operations I don’t see ?? on call let me see if I have him here. I think I just received an update from him. So according to his update EIP 5?? is dated and ready to go up this Thursday ?? is being edited right now for next week.
