## Description

In addition to numerous smaller improvements to the EVM, there are two significant change proposals that aim to significantly change the EVM: the EVM Object Format (EOF) and EVMMAX (Modular Arithmetic Extensions). While this panel will likely focus more on these two proposals, we also intend to discuss other proposals.
