Ethereum Conference: Dencun activation planned for January, Goerli fork date expected to be set early next year

Ethereum core developer timbeiko.eth posted a summary of the 176th ACDE meeting on social media. The developers discussed the state of Dencun, the timeline for the testnet, and how to plan for the next network upgrade.
According to the meeting discussion, Devnet #12 was launched last week and almost all clients are running on it. Errors were found and fixed in several clients, including Reth and Lighthouse. At the same time, the development team is ready to fork the testnet and plans to conduct a large-scale Goerli shadow fork in the next few weeks. The developers agreed that if things go smoothly, they will set the Goerli fork date in early 2024, with the goal of activating Dencun on the network in January.
In addition, the last ACDE meeting of 2023 will be held on December 21 at 22:00 Beijing time.
