Attend some All Core Dev meetings if you have doubts https://github.com/ethereum/pm

Dencun upgrade with EIP4844 is likely later this year, which will bring lower cost Layer 2 transactions. Follow the readiness of EIP4844: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md Prague + E starname upgrade is probably 2024, possibly focused on EOF, then followed by a Verkle tree focused upgrade, but none of this has been decided.

There's an EIP 4844 readiness checklist.

Where to watch the dev calls (you have there links to previous calls or you can join them live when they occur): https://github.com/ethereum/pm

Proto-Danksharding (aka EIP-4844) is the first implementation of sharding. From the latest core dev calls, it did not make it into the next update ("Shanghai" Q1/Q2 2023) but should be priority for the next one ("Cancun"). This does not mean dev works on 4844 is stopped but the delivery of staking withdrawals have priority and there is no delay due to testing protodank sharding. see notes. You can track the status here (mostly stillWIP).

Ethereum developers break and fix Merge testnets, and discuss how rollup costs can be lowered in the future.

Last one was five days ago. /u/OyuruKemono wrote a summary here. Somehow the repo has not been updated yet.

Regarding proto-danksharding, the crew has continued to have formal meetings twice a month and is diligently working though action items. This status: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md

There is a "Shanghai planning" issue (#450) on GitHub that's been updated after yesterday's all core devs call. The latest comment says:

It's referring to the ratio between the Bitcoin price and the Ethereum price: https://ratiogang.com/

Anyone know anyone at Coingecko? Seems like API requests have started failing to their market data endpoint from ratiogang.com. From what I can tell from their docs it doesn't seem like their API limits have changed.

did https://ratiogang.com/ stop working? ratios sit a 0

Well, I can happily confirm that "you should never meet your heroes" does NOT apply to Ethereum's core protocol contributors. These are some of the most interesting (and surprisingly funny) people I've ever met, and even though there was a lack of diversity, they came from all over the world, with all sorts of different backgrounds. And despite the fact that the price of ETH is never discussed on ACD calls, I can confirm that Ethereum's core devs are bullish: I heard more than one conversation about ultra sound money, and RatioGang was also strongly represented! I'm an introvert, but everyone was so incredibly welcoming and kind, I never had any issues talking to people.

I keep refreshing https://ratiogang.com/ It's so close!

seems very unlikely before the merge, so maybe it will :) https://ratiogang.com/

I've seen this before. Oh wait, it's the maxi who inspired https://ratiogang.com
