Note: Starting with Paris, updates are no longer rolled out based on block numbers. Paris was enabled once proof-of-work Total Difficulty reached 58750000000000000000000. As of Shanghai (at 1681338455), upgrade activation is based on timestamps.
Some clarifications were enabled without protocol releases:
| EIP | Block No. |
|---|---|
| EIP-2681 | 0 |
| EIP-3607 | 0 |
| EIP-7523 | 15537394 |

Execution Specification (work-in-progress)
The execution specification is a python implementation of Ethereum that prioritizes readability and simplicity. It will accompanied by both narrative and API level documentation of the various components written in markdown and rendered using docc...
Usage
The Ethereum specification is maintained as a Python library, for better integration with tooling and testing.
Requires Python 3.10+
Building
Building the documentation is most easily done through tox:
$ tox -e doc
The path to the generated HTML will be printed to the console.
