BlockBeats message, on August 22, the Ethereum Foundation released protocol update 002, detailing the Blob data expansion roadmap. This plan aims to significantly enhance data availability for Ethereum's L2 systems, supporting scenarios such as real-time payments, DeFi, social media, and AI applications.
Key updates include:
1. The upcoming Fusaka upgrade will introduce the PeerDAS architecture, increasing the number of Blobs in a block from the current 6 to 48;
2. Gradual increase in mainnet capacity through Blob Parameter Hard Fork (BPO), theoretically achieving an 8-fold throughput increase;
3. Bandwidth optimization technologies such as 'unit-level messaging' will reduce redundant network communication;
4. The Glamsterdam upgrade (expected mid-2026) will introduce PeerDAS v2, further expanding data availability;
5. Ongoing research into Blob pool expansion and FullDAS technology, ensuring core values such as Ethereum's resistance to censorship 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.
