 - Decoupling throughput from local building 
 - Blob Parameter Only Hardforks 
 - Erigon v3 Released 
 + much more 

Feat. PG members: @toniw.eth @ethdreamer @poojaranjan19 @barnabe @giulio-rebuffo & more

@EthDreamer proposed that EIP-7892, ‘Blob Parameter Only Hardforks’, be included in Fusaka. This will improve the flexibility to increase blob count outside of hard forks.

Potuz wrote a thread emphasizing the need for clear devnet timelines to enhance coordination among teams and prioritize EIPs for testing. He suggested only including Peer DAS and possibly EOF in Fusaka (upgrade after Pectra), to ensure Q3 release.
