Overview
- The upgrade went live on mainnet on December 3 at 21:49 UTC, enabling PeerDAS so nodes verify sampled blob data while storing roughly one‑eighth of it, with developers projecting up to 8x higher rollup data throughput.
- EIP‑7825 enforces a 16,777,216 gas cap per transaction to stop any single call from filling a block, alongside guidance for a higher block gas target around 60 million.
- Blob Parameter Forks allow capacity to be raised without a new hard fork, with follow‑up adjustments scheduled for December 9 and January 7.
- Client teams coordinated releases across execution and consensus software, and operators who do not upgrade to the specified versions are forked off the canonical chain.
- Wallet and user infrastructure are rolling out secp256r1 passkey support under EIP‑7951, while some analysts have issued bullish price forecasts that remain speculative.
