The Prague fork enables deploying code into externally owned accounts (EOAs) via the SetCodeTransaction, increases the blob throughput, increases the cost of calldata-heavy transactions, introduces general execution layer requests (and two request types: consolidation, and withdrawal), appends validator deposits to execution layer blocks, creates BLS12-381 precompiles, and exposes historical block hashes through a system contract.
