The BPO fork upgrade carries significant implications for Ethereum's scaling roadmap. Here's why: expanding blob capacity per block directly translates to enhanced data availability for Layer 2 solutions. As Ethereum progressively increases per-block blob limits, the economics shift dramatically—rollups face substantially reduced data submission costs. This mechanism proves critical when network activity intensifies. Lower data costs mean L2 networks can maintain competitive transaction fees during peak periods without sacrificing throughput. The result? Ethereum's rollup ecosystem achieves genuine scalability while keeping user experience friction minimal.

It's the same old blob expansion... It has proven that this thing indeed changes the economics model of L2, but the key question is when will we actually see the reduction in data costs reflected in gas fees? I'm still waiting.

blob capacity going up = my gwei patterns finally make sense again. been tracking this one since the mempool started hiccupping last cycle tbh

Understanding blob capacity really takes some grasping; I finally get it now. The previous gas fees were skyrocketing, but there's hope now.

theoretically speaking, if we consider the recursive nature of blob economics here... the real question is whether this actually solves cross-rollup state verification or just kicks the problem up to layer3. feels like we're romanticizing incremental throughput gains when we should be thinking about interoperability vectors between these L2s, ngl

Here we go again with the pie-in-the-sky promises... I've heard about blob expansion so many times, and every time they say it will reduce gas fees. But what happened? My ETH positions that were liquidated didn't wait for that day. They talk about L2 fees dropping significantly, but it's better to first discuss when the current lending rates will fall below the risk control threshold—it's not too late to boast then.

Will increasing blob capacity reduce costs? It still seems to depend on the actual implementation results. Don't let it turn into just a PPT upgrade again.

Blob has risen again. Can it really save L2 this time... But on the other hand, the cheaper gas fees are the real winners for us who are mining tokens.
