Deep Tide TechFlow message, on August 22, the Ethereum Foundation released protocol update 002, detailing the roadmap for Blob data expansion. This plan aims to significantly enhance data availability for Ethereum L2 systems, supporting scenarios such as real-time payments, DeFi, social media, and AI applications.
Key updates include:
The upcoming Fusaka upgrade will introduce the PeerDAS architecture, increasing the number of Blobs in a block from the current 6 to 48.
Achieving gradual growth of mainnet capacity through Blob Parameter Hard Fork (BPO), theoretically allowing for an 8-fold increase in throughput.
Bandwidth optimization technologies such as 'cell-level messaging' will reduce network redundant communication.
The Glamsterdam upgrade (expected mid-2026) will introduce PeerDAS v2, further expanding data availability.
Ongoing research on Blob pool expansion and FullDAS technology to ensure that core values of Ethereum such as censorship resistance are maintained while scaling.
This update marks Ethereum's shift from the 'fork-centric' concept to a more flexible incremental optimization strategy aimed at accelerating the development of the L2 ecosystem.
