EOF

Ethereum, this perpetual engine of blockchain innovation, has once again found itself at the center of heated debates. On the agenda is the implementation of EOF (EVM Object Format), as well as the upcoming Pectra and Fusaka updates. Let's figure out what's what and how these disputes affect the future of the platform.
Why is everyone arguing?
EOF is like an improved engine for a car that makes it a bit faster and more efficient. But there's a catch: some developers believe that the benefits of this innovation do not outweigh the potential difficulties. Among the skeptics is Geth developer Marius van der Weyden. Six months ago, he openly stated that "the drawbacks of EOF outweigh the advantages." And now? Judging by his recent tweet, he seems to have waved off this dispute.

Ethereum is facing significant disagreements among core developers regarding two upcoming critical upgrades that could profoundly impact the billion-dollar ecosystem.
Conflicts Over EVM Object Format (EOF) Upgrade
The controversy mainly revolves around the implementation of EVM Object Format (#EOF ) – a format that improves the separation of code and data in Ethereum smart contracts. EOF will test the bytecode before execution, helping applications run faster, cheaper, and reducing validation errors.
