Etherscan has reported a notable increase in blob capacity following the recent activation of the Ethereum BPO fork, a development that enhances the network's data management capabilities. The source notes that this improvement is expected to significantly benefit users and developers alike.
Surge in Blob Count per Block
The blob count per block has surged by 67%, with the new target established at 10 blobs per block and the maximum capacity raised to 15 blobs. This significant adjustment allows Ethereum to handle data more efficiently, providing ample space for Layer 2 rollups to publish additional data concurrently.
Impact on Network Performance
As a result, the network is expected to experience reduced congestion during peak usage times, improving overall performance and user experience.
