Ethereum Consensus Layer Breakthrough: BPO2 Activation and Blob Scaling Upgrade

Ethereum Developers Focus on Performance and Future Upgrades

The latest Ethereum consensus layer meeting marked significant technical progress, with the successful activation of BPO2 and strategic enhancements to blob capacity. These changes signal a major step toward improved network efficiency and long-term scalability.

Blob Capacity Reaches New Threshold

To better support growing data demands from Layer 2 solutions, developers voted to increase the BlobTarget to 14 and the maximum limit to 21. This upgrade will enhance throughput for rollups, reduce congestion, and lower transaction fees for end users.

• BlobTarget raised to 14 for higher data throughput
• Max limit expanded to 21 for better burst handling
• Improved resource allocation across validator nodes

EIP-8070 Integrated into Glamsterdam Roadmap

EIP-8070 (SparseBlobPool) has been officially included in the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade. The proposal streamlines blob storage, reducing node overhead and improving network sustainability. Meanwhile, the public call for Hegota-related proposals is now open, inviting community-driven innovation.
