It is necessary to increase the amount of BLOBs in Ethereum blocks to expand L2 throughput. About this stated co-founder of the network Vitalik Buterin.
On March 13, EIP-4844 was activated in the Dencun hard fork, which implemented the Proto-Danksharding option to create a new type of transaction for blobs.
This space is intended for temporary storage of large volumes of data, which has made it possible to significantly reduce commissions in the L2 ecosystem, especially based on Rollups technology.
According to Buterin, BLOB space is currently about 75% full. The target and maximum are three and six BLOBs per block. The co-founder of Ethereum proposed increasing these indicators to four and eight.
The initiative requires changes to EIP-7623, which is addressed in the Pectra update.
EIP-7623 proposes to increase the cost of accessing the basic level of data availability in Ethereum. This will reduce the maximum block size from 2.7 MB to ~1 MB and free up space for a potential increase in the gas limit or number of BLOBs.
Buterin believes some L2s are hesitant to tackle large binary data sets due to potential market congestion.
Base CEO Jess Pollack supported Buterin’s proposal.
Earlier, Buterin noted the increase in the availability of roll-ups against the backdrop of falling fees.
