Ethereum Blob Scaling Updates

The Ethereum Foundation's L2 and blob scaling team published an update on blob scaling, with PeerDAS scheduled for the Fusaka upgrade expected in late 2025. PeerDAS lets nodes verify blob data availability by sampling subsets of data, enabling capacity to scale from 6 up to 48 blobs per block, and PeerDAS v2 is planned for the Glamsterdam upgrade. The blob scaling efforts are led by Alex Stokes, Raúl Kripalani, and Francesco D'Amato. Separately, Ameen Soleimani argues that U.S. validators could face criminal liability under FOCIL (EIP-7805) if compelled to include sanctioned address transactions.
