Ethereum is scaling. Next stop -> 45M.

Here I am again making everyone remember that @ethereum has customers and we need to serve them. I believe EIP-7928 should be one of the biggest priorities for @ethereum. It would enable parallel disk reads, parallel transaction validation, and executionless state updates. The second thing I believe Ethereum should try to do is EIP-7782 to reduce Ethereum's slot time from 12s to 6s to decrease latency by 50%, distribute bandwidth usage, and improve UX. The EIP-7732 Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation that many of the engineers want to work first is interesting but I don't believe it adds too much for the end user and it adds a lot of complexity. We might be adding more constraints to the system. I believe we have to scale it first. I think we first need to focus on very concrete performance and UI/UX related features. I have been following the work @NethermindEth and @paradigm have been pushing to increase the gas limit and I think these types of initiatives should be the priority. Keep up the great work.

CDF of Ethereum block propagation delays across countries, measured relative to the fastest node per slot (block first seen). Only a few countries (FI, CH) achieve sub-100 ms delays; most show 200–500 ms median lag. This represents a lower bound estimate for block propagation.

1/ Should Ethereum ship ePBS (EIP‑7732) in Glamsterdam, or is a leaner alternative better? Let’s unpack. Full Post 👇

After huge effort from all EL clients we are now ready for 45 MGas limit on Ethereum Mainnet. @NethermindEth released a 1.32.0 version which sets 45 as a default value + history expiry for pre-merge blocks + huge block production revenue improvement:

Attestation Propagation: In missed slots (no block), attesters delay until the attestation deadline. This gives us clean data on when non-aggregated attestations hit nodes. Even fast, well-connected Xatu nodes (DC-hosted) only see ~40% of attestations after 1s; slower ones hit 40% after 2s. These are better-than-average-case latency observations.

No kid should have to go to sleep without knowing what validators signal as a gas limit! 👉

Are you an app dev tired of indexing account balances with numerous of RPC calls? Let’s talk. 🤝 I think EIP-7928 might be what you need. Please tag your fav indexooor. Would love to connect!

90% of attestations arrive within 2 seconds. 6-second slots are comfortably achievable! The chart shows when attestations were first seen during the last 100 missed slots. (Missed slots provide clearer timing data, as all clients attest at the same time)
