Ethereum scalability significantly enhanced, BPO hard fork expands Blob limit to 21
The second BPO hard fork aimed at improving the processing capacity of the Ethereum network has been successfully completed. This upgrade increases the number of blobs available within a block to 21, directly contributing to the overall capacity expansion of the network.
What is a blob?
A blob is a key component of the prototype Ethereum implementation called “Proto-Danksharding.” It is a dedicated area where rollup layers temporarily store transaction data, reducing the storage load on the main chain while allowing more transaction information to be included within each block.
Scalability improvements and actual effects
By expanding the blob limit to 21, rollup-based Layer 2 solutions can now record more transactions on the Ethereum chain than ever before. As a result, the overall transaction processing speed of the network is expected to improve significantly, and gas fees borne by users are also projected to decrease substantially.
These technical improvements leverage Ethereum’s underlying blockchain structure more efficiently, making cost-effective DApp development a reality for developers. Meanwhile, ordinary users will also benefit from reduced transaction fees during DeFi and NFT transactions.
With continuous upgrades to Ethereum, scalability challenges are being addressed gradually, and efforts to strengthen the network’s competitiveness are steadily progressing.
