Ethereum Foundation releases Protocol Update 002

ChainCatcher message, the Ethereum Foundation released Protocol Update 002, introducing the research progress on Data Availability Sampling (DAS) and its importance for secure and scalable Data Availability (DA) expansion.

This content update includes: Fusaka launched PeerDAS, a new data architecture that allows blob expansion beyond today's throughput levels, from 6 blobs/block to 48 blobs/block; the single Blob Parameter (BPO) fork will gradually increase the number of blobs on the mainnet and support it through incremental peer-to-peer bandwidth optimization; Glamsterdam plans to adopt advanced networking technologies to iterate on the PeerDAS design for further expansion; as the data scale continues to grow, memory pool sharding technology can preserve Ethereum's value; research on the next generation of DAS will open up the evolution of secure DA expansion.
