ChainCatcher message, the Ethereum Foundation releases Protocol Update 002, introducing the research progress on Data Availability Sampling (DAS) and its importance for secure and scalable data availability (DA) expansion.
This content update includes: Fusaka has launched PeerDAS, a new data architecture that allows blobs to scale beyond today's throughput levels, from 6 blobs/block to 48 blobs/block; the Blob Parameter Only (BPO) fork will gradually increase the number of blobs on the mainnet and support it with incremental peer-to-peer bandwidth optimization; Glamsterdam plans to adopt advanced networking technologies, iterating on the PeerDAS design for further expansion; as data scales, memory pool sharding technology can preserve Ethereum's value; research on the next generation of DAS will open the evolution of secure DA scaling.
