Ethereum Upgrade Launched, Network Efficiency Reaches New Heights

On January 7th, a researcher from the Ethereum Foundation revealed that the Blob pressure optimization upgrade has been successfully deployed and is now active on the mainnet. This marks another significant step forward in Ethereum's journey towards improved scalability and efficiency.

Key Changes Introduced by the BPO2 Upgrade

Real-time on-chain data shows that the Blob target value has been increased to 14 per block, while the maximum capacity has been raised to 21. This enhancement allows the network to handle more data with greater flexibility and throughput, effectively reducing congestion.

Positive Impacts for Users and Developers

  • Users will experience faster transaction confirmations and reduced fee costs.

  • Developers can now build more complex and high-throughput decentralized applications (DApps).

  • The overall performance improvement will further drive the expansion of the Ethereum ecosystem.
