Currently, testing is underway on the blob-devnet-0 test network, but Prysm and Lighthouse clients are experiencing field response issues.\n\nGlamsterdam’s bals-devnet-2 is scheduled to launch on February 4th, and developers need to complete pull requests for the two Execution APIs beforehand. The epbs-devnet-0 test network is expected to go live by the end of February, including all changes from the latest consensus specification v1.7.0-alpha.2.\n\nKim also mentioned that inspired by Vitalik Buterin’s discussion on creator tokens, she shared her insights on the role of cryptocurrencies in the creator economy in the full briefing.
