Ethereum Protocol Update Scale Blobs
summary
The update lays out concrete changes: an organized protocol cluster, formalized node requirements via EIP7870, and gas-limit bumps from 30M to 45M then a 60 million gas default in Fusaka with targets around 80–120M and a roadmap to ~3x throughput per year via a Lump Sadam hard fork. Data availability moves from calldata to EIP-4844 blobs with DAS (sampling) in Fusaka so nodes sample rather than download everything. ZKVM proving shows average times under 10–12s but needs worst‑case and security work. UX work includes OAF intents, EIL, 12s→6s slot proposals and a fast confirmation rule targeted Q1 2026.
