Fusaka is coming to Ethereum and bringing more blobs for @base users with it.

Time for a technical deep dive 🧵

We'll go over why this work is important and what Base has been doing to accelerate Fusaka’s timeline in collaboration with @OPLabsPBC, @testinprod_io, and @soneium First, some background:

Blob TXs were introduced by EIP-4844 in the Dencun upgrade and brought data availability (DA) fees paid by rollup users down by >100x

May’s Pectra upgrade doubled the blob target/block from 3 to 6, which opened up much needed throughput for rollups

Fusaka will allow Ethereum to ramp up to a target of up to 48 blobs/block on a scheduled and safe basis via PeerDAS and BPO hardforks

Flashblocks make Base faster

This 10x change makes Base the fastest EVM chain to date, bringing effective block times from 2 seconds down to 200 milliseconds —and they're live on testnet right now + coming to mainnet in Q2 Flashblocks are sub-blocks issued by the block builder and streamed to nodes every 200ms, allowing for early confirmation times with native revert protection

Built by Flashbots, you can learn more about it in their documentation:
