BlockBeats News, April 28th, Tomasz K. Stańczak, Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, released an important clarification regarding the EOF debate, stating that EOF is heavily debated but there is a key misunderstanding that needs to be addressed: the current EOF discussion is not related to the upcoming Pectra upgrade set to be released on May 7th. The Pectra upgrade does not include EOF and has no intention to include EOF. All of Pectra's content will be released as planned on May 7th.

Earlier, CoinDesk reported that the Ethereum "EVM Object Format (EOF)" improvement proposal has been included in the Pectra hard fork, expected to be implemented later this year or early next year. The EOF proposal will make a series of minor changes to upgrade the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). EOF will make smart contracts more developer-friendly, especially for those building decentralized applications using the Solidity or Vyper programming languages, but it may break existing smart contracts. Developers have added a new version, allowing DApp builders to choose which version of the EVM to use when deploying their code.
