The latest consensus layer core developer meeting ( 172nd ) of Ethereum revealed several important developments. BPO2 has been successfully activated, and the Blob mechanism has been optimized—Target capacity has been increased to 14, with the upper limit mentioned as 21, which is a positive for network throughput and Layer 2 scaling. Additionally, the EIP-8070 ( Sparse Blob Pool ) proposal has been officially confirmed to be included in the Glamsterdam upgrade plan. This improvement will further optimize transaction pool efficiency. Notably, the follow-up process for the Hegota headline proposal has been initiated, and as of February 5th, it is still in progress. The entire upgrade roadmap is progressing steadily, and Ethereum's technical stack is gradually being refined.

Blob capacity doubles, is L2 really about to take off? Honestly, it should have been done a long time ago, but at least it's finally moving.

Blob capacity increased from 14 to 21, and this pace... to be honest, it's a bit aggressive. L2s are definitely benefiting, but could this lead to new gas competition? Anyway, it all depends on how the mainnet performs.

Doubling blob capacity is finally confirmed, and Layer 2 can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

blob targets going from 14 to 21 sounds nice on paper but let's see if validators actually stick around when gas fees crater... tx pool efficiency means nothing if nobody's running full nodes tbh

Blob capacity doubles, Layer 2 is taking off, finally no more waiting around for half a day for confirmation.
