The Ethereum mainnet has just welcomed an important performance optimization—the Blob Pressure Optimization Scheme BPO2 upgrade has officially taken effect. This upgrade directly enhances the capacity metrics of Blob: the target number of Blobs per block has increased from the previous standard to 14, and the maximum capacity has expanded to 21. For developers and users seeking to improve Ethereum throughput, this means more efficient data processing capabilities. The specific performance impact will need to be observed through on-chain data feedback.

14→21, the numbers look good, but will the gas fees decrease accordingly? That's the key.

Blob is up again, can gas fees get cheaper? It feels like every upgrade is the same story, and in the end, users still have to pay.

I was just saying, can this upgrade really alleviate the gas fee crisis... However, Blob's increase from 14 to 21 isn't as dramatic as I imagined. We still need to look at the actual data moving forward.

Blob has been upgraded again and again. Will this time truly reduce costs, or will it continue to harvest the chives?

Blob capacity doubles? Alright, let's wait for the on-chain data to come out before bragging. That's what we said last time about the optimization too.
