Ethereum core developers are under pressure to finalize the Glamsterdam network upgrade before the mid-year target. The 173th meeting revealed potential scope reductions due to delays in EIP-7732's blockchain upgrade readiness, Teku client performance issues, and pending API reviews for EIP-7928. The Hegota upgrade's Headliner EIP deadline is February 4, with some teams making progress on EIP-7688.
