On November 17th, Galaxy Research Vice President Christine Kim summarized the 122nd Ethereum Core Developer Consensus (ACDC) conference call. The developers agreed to begin discussing the launch of Devnet #12 at the ACDE meeting next Thursday. They also discussed a proposal from Geth developer Péter Szilágyi to address concerns about the diversity of Execution Layer (EL) clients. The Consensus Layer (CL) client team is improving Blob propagation, which will significantly reduce the complexity and issues related to Blob propagation observed on the past 11 devnets. Most CL client teams plan to implement updates to the Deneb specification this week or next week.

Ethereum developer Alex Forshtat initiated the RIP-7560 native account abstraction proposal, aiming to introduce consensus layer protocol changes instead of relying solely on higher-level infrastructure. This proposal merges EIP-2938 and ERC-4337 to form a comprehensive native account abstraction proposal. The proposal suggests dividing Ethereum's transaction process into multiple steps, including validation, execution, and post-transaction logic. The validity of transactions will be determined by the results of the validation step. This means that the proposal aims to increase transaction transparency and effectiveness by introducing more levels of steps.

Juan Leon, an analyst at cryptocurrency index fund management company Bitwise, believes that while many institutional investors have increased their understanding and acceptance of BTC as an investment asset, most still do not understand what makes Ethereum different. Leon says that even investors who can differentiate between the two currencies find it difficult to consider their position in an investment portfolio. Advisors find it helpful when we explain that BTC can be seen as a similar investment to gold, while ETH can be seen as a similar investment to high-growth tech stocks. As long as financial advisors understand Ethereum, they will see its advantages, and they will also begin to understand that BTC's main role is as a store of value, while ETH's role is as a smart contract platform, powering the most powerful "decentralized app store".

Ethereum layer 2 networks have reached a significant milestone with a total value locked (TVL) of $13 billion within their contracts, as per L2Beat data. Despite challenges in user experience and security, the trend of increasing interest in layer 2s is expected to continue. There are currently 32 Ethereum layer 2 networks, including Arbitrum One, Optimism, Base, Polygon zkEVM, and Metis. While layer 2 networks have thrived due to successful marketing efforts and high yields, they still face challenges in terms of user experience and centralization. The competition from layer 2s is expected to push for improvements to layer 1s, resulting in higher throughput for the foundational layers. Additionally, the number of layer 2s is increasing, with OKX and Kraken rumored to be building their own.
