How do we scale the ETHEREUM L1 10x ?? 🚨 Part 1: Block-Level Access Lists (EIP-7928) (0:00) Intro to BALS (0:34) How Ethereum.org L1 works now (2:49) Parallel IO + Parallel EVM (4:18) Modification in Block Structure Like & RT for Ethereum

🔹 EIP-7928: Block-Level Access Lists (BALs) Proposed by Toni Wahrstätter ⟠ for Glamsterdam 🔧 Focused on L1 scaling—enables: – Parallel disk reads – Parallel tx validation – Executionless state updates – Foundation for zkEVM full nodes – Potential for higher gas limits 🚀 ⚙️Every block

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

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/…

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.

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

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

Ethereum is scaling. Next stop -> 45M.

The Glamsterdam headliner-proposal Block-level Access Lists (EIP‑7928) received much love from core devs recently. But what is it, how does it work, and why do we need it now? Some quick FAQs👇 What’s EIP-7928: Block-Level Access List? -> The EIP introduces Block‑Level Access
