Abstract

Introduces a per-block hard cap on the number of EIP-6110 deposit requests an Execution Layer block may produce. A block is invalid if the number of deposit requests derived from its receipts exceeds MAX_DEPOSIT_REQUESTS_PER_BLOCK = 8192. Execution Layer clients MUST enforce the cap during both block construction and block validation.
