Justin Drake, a core researcher at the Ethereum Foundation (EF), announced in a post on X that "at 5 pm tomorrow afternoon, I will announce a major plan on the Devcon main stage. For a year, I have been thinking about what a redesigned Ethereum consensus layer from scratch would look like. My goal is to propose a reliable strategy and launch an ambitious and exciting beacon chain roadmap within a reasonable time frame. After months of deliberation with researchers and consensus developers, I am finally ready to publicly present my proposal. It is still too early to tell, but your participation is crucial if this new method of solving the consensus layer roadmap can achieve initial consensus."
