Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Blerin said the upgrade upgrade of FUSAKA would allow nodes to prove the availability of data without downloading complete blockchain data, improving scalability.
The upcoming upgrade, set for December, will help to resolve the current obstacles to the availability of data through a basic feature called Peerdas (peer data availability sampling), Buterin Explained on Thursday.
“Peerdas is trying to do something that has never happened yet: have a live blockchain that does not require any single node to download the entire data,” he said, describing it as “the key to the L2 scale, and ultimately L1 scale.”
Instead of downloading complete blockchain data, each node downloads only small “chunks” and uses statistical sampling to ensure that the whole data exists throughout the network.
Peerdas were introduced to Ethereum Improvement Protocol 7594 In January 2024 as a way to ensure that Blob data is available while downloading a data subset.
“Providing additional data is helping to bring scale to Ethereum users in the context of layers 2 systems called ‘Rollup’ that the dominant bottleneck is having layer 1 data,” the EIP reads.
Blob Count hit the new climax
Baterin’s comments came in response to a post from the head of data to Dragonfly, Hildebert Moulié, Observation That the network hits six blobs per target block for the first time on Wednesday.
The recently -lang Using Blob The spike is usually driven by the Coinbase Layer-2, Base, and Worldcoin, says Moulié.

Blobs (Binary Large Things) are a special type of data storage introduced to Ethereum at Upgrading Dencun In March 2024, by EIP-4844 (also called prototo-dankharding). They are specifically designed to lower transaction costs for layer-2 rollups.
FUSAKA UPDATE TO DOUBLE BLOB TARGET
The upgrading of Fusaka, Scheduled for December 3Will Introduce EIP-7594 and double the Blob capacity from the current target/maximum of 6/9 per block.
Buterin warned that this was all new technologies, and the main developers were wise to be “super careful to test,” even after they worked for years.
“This is also why the Blob count will increase the conservative at first, and then become more aggressive over time,” he added, ending that it will greatly improve Scalability.
Following Fusaka’s expansion, only two blob parameters (BPOs) fork will be carried out to gradually increase the maximum number of Blob from nine to 15, and the second, planned for January, will raise the ceiling to 21, According to to Ethereum researcher Christine Kim.
