Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for Consensys/teku focusing on RPC protocol groundwork for the Fulu milestone and fuzzing utilities alignment. Delivered and iterated on versioning scaffolding for RPC Status messages, introduced a body selector mechanism to support version-based RPC requests, and integrated these changes with the RpcHandler. Versioning scaffolding was temporarily reverted to preserve backward compatibility after ensuring restoration of the previous structure. Updated fuzzing test utilities to align with the Fulu specification, replacing Electra-specific configurations to maintain test integrity and milestone readiness. Overall, the work strengthened the foundation for protocol evolution, improved test reliability, and positioned the team for a smoother Fulu milestone rollout.
