Ethereum Project Management Repository

This repository is used for project management for various initiatives affecting the Ethereum protocol. This repository is for: - Execution (ACDE) and Consensus (ACDC) Layer AllCoreDevs meetings - Testing meetings - Breakout calls on various specific Ethereum core development topics

Agendas for these meetings can be found on the Issues tab. This Google Calendar also tracks upcoming protocol meetings.

Discussions happen in the Ethereum R&D Discord server and on Ethereum Magicians. Upcoming and past call information (transcripts, video links, summaries) can be found both on Forkcast and on the table at the bottom of this README. Recordings are hosted on the @EthereumProtocol YouTube channel.

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.).

Agendas

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. Regular attendees include Ethereum client developers, testing and security teams, and independent 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 with your attendance please reach out on the Ethereum R&D Discord in the relevant channel topic or reach out to Nixo.

Who Facilitates the Meetings

Current facilitators (date started): - Execution: coleads Ansgar Dietrichs (Oct '25) & Nixo (Apr '26) - Consensus: Parithosh Jayanthi (interim, May '26), ~~Alex Stokes~~ (Sep '24, currently out of office) - Testing: coleads EF EthPandaOps team & EF STEEL team

Past facilitators: - Tim Beiko - Danny Ryan - Hudson Jameson - Lane Rettig - George Hallam

Breakout Rooms are usually chaired by the expert/champion for the topic at hand.

Who Manages This Repo

This repo is managed by the Ethereum Foundation's Protocol Support team and ACD call facilitators.
