I can’t agree more on this, great presentation ansgar.eth on Ethereum research call #2

Just released a blog post on Ethereum block processing performance! Check it out 👇 hackmd.io/@8AY4P2cSSJaZl…

The Ethereum L1 is scaling, with active work for short- and medium-term improvements. Dankrad Feist here tells us the tech ready. Revisit Wednesday's protocol research call, hosted by ansgar.eth, with links below to the slide deck and the call's homepage.

Scaling mainnet requires intensive simulations and testing, with all clients running at their limits In the latest protocol research call, Marcin Sobczak from Nethermind presents Perfnets, testing key metrics such as 10x gas, higher blob counts or lower slot times

vitalik.eth We have already worked on this topic within Besu. We implemented a mechanism that allows for a set of RPC nodes without the Merkle tree. The performance is good, and the node size remains small thanks to only storing the flat state.

With Pectra out the door, is it time for a 60M gas limit on Mainnet? Sepolia & Hoodi are already there.. how are they performing? Read on below:

Besu 25.6.0 is now available This is an optional update. Please note the breaking changes. Full release notes: github.com/hyperledger/be… Highlights...

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

Validators: After spending a week in-person with core devs and shipping fixes to issues, we're ready to recommend a gas limit of 45M! 📈⛽️ Expect frequent updated guidance as we unlock progressively higher throughput capacity! x.com/vdWijden/statu…

If you want to contribute to the efforts and have experience running production systems at scale, apply for a position here: jobs.lever.co/ethereumfounda…

Besu 25.7.0 is now available Highlights: * Gas limit increased to 45M by default * History expiry enabled by default for new SNAP nodes * Parallel transaction processing enabled by default and more!

If you need help with EVM / LLVM / RISC-V / wasm, I should be available soon.

As of today, all Ethereum execution clients support history pruning for pre-merge data. For mainnet, this means 300-500 GB less disk space required to operate a node. Learn more about what this means and how to take advantage the new functionality: blog.ethereum.org

1/ Over the past months, we’ve: — Benchmarked opcode execution across clients — Built PerfNet to test performance under pressure — Simulated 1.5x mainnet state with CPerezz.eth ⟠ 🦀 & Guillaume Ballet for early scaling tests Not for headlines, but to keep Ethereum resilient.

Headliner picks from all client teams: Execution Layer: - Geth: EIP-7928 (Block-level Access Lists) - Reth: EIP-7928 + EIP-7732 (ePBS) + EIP-7805 (FOCIL) stretch - Erigon (both EL + CL): EIP-7928 + EIP-7805 + EIP-7782 (Reduce Block Latency) - Nethermind: EIP-7928 + EIP-7732

Almost exactly 50% of stake is voting to increase the L1 gas limit to 45m. The gas limit is already starting to increase, now at 37.3m.

In the upcoming Fusaka hardfork, Ethereum will modify the gas costs and allowed inputs for the ModExp precompile through two EIPs: EIP-7883 and EIP-7823. We encourage all developers and infrastructure providers to review their smart contracts, gas estimation algorithms, and

New post on EthResear.ch! Overclocking Blocks with Gas Refunds By: - Toni Wahrstätter ⟠ 🔗 ethresear.ch/t/22862 Highlights: - Gas refunds incentivize users to clear storage but distort the actual gas usage reported for blocks. - Current gas accounting makes it seem like

2/ Today, setting a storage slot to zero via SSTORE earns you a refund (up to 20% of gas used). That refund reduces both your tx.gasUsed AND the block’s total gasUsed. Good for users but hides the block’s true work. The problem gets worse with increasing gas limits.
