ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media: "I think the ideal solution is to make deep but selective cuts to Gas fees:Reduce the gas cost of all EVM opcodes currently in the range of 2-5 to 1, and reduce those in the range of 6-10 to 2.Lower the gas cost of log operations by 4 times.Reduce the gas cost of precompiled contracts (except for those we plan to deprecate).In this way, it may be possible to increase TPS by 1.5 times without compromising any 'critical worst-case' metrics (such as calldata size, IO)."

ChainCatcher news, Galaxy's Vice President of Research Christine Kim summarized the main points of the 144th Ethereum Core Developers Consensus Meeting (ACDC #144):Developers agreed to include a new code change EIP 7742 in Pectra, which allows the beacon chain to dynamically set the network's target and maximum blob gas limits. The inclusion of EIP 7742 indicates that developers may also increase the target and maximum blob gas limits in Pectra. However, some developers raised concerns during the call that incorporating additional EIPs (especially EIP 7742) would delay the activation of other Pectra code changes on the mainnet. Developers also discussed the testing progress of Pectra and PeerDAS development.L2 rollup Base developer Francis Li introduced the urgency and fundamental principles of increasing blob capacity in Pectra. Li suggested increasing the blob gas target to 5 and the maximum to 8, along with additional work at the network layer, such as implementing engine_getBlobsV1. Busa pointed out that the increase in blob capacity should be combined with the deployment of EIP 7742, which introduces a mechanism to dynamically set blob gas targets and maximum limits through CL. Busa stated that the current mechanism for setting these parameters is difficult to change, and introducing EIP 7742 would ensure that developers can easily adjust these settings in the future, such as upgrades like PeerDAS. However, Busa also noted that EIP 7742 requires additional work from the EL and CL client teams for deployment and could delay Pectra's timeline by 1 to 2 months. He urged developers to consider starting the work on deploying EIP 7742 as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary delays in the Pectra upgrade.

If I can't fully commit to Gaslite, I feel it's not right to continue operating Gaslite. Looking ahead, my sole focus will be on g8keep. I believe what we are doing at g8keep has the potential to make a greater impact on the ecosystem than Gaslite.The past few months have been crazy. Even though gas fees have been at historic lows, Gaslite's business has never really slowed down. I am very grateful for the trust people have placed in my brand and their willingness to collaborate with Gaslite, even if it's just to save a small amount of money for their users."

ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, this week, Ethereum's core developers decided to split the network's next major upgrade, Pectra, into at least two parts, with the first update expected to be released around February 2025.Currently, regardless of which tokens are transferred, Gas fees on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and other Layer 2 networks must be paid in ETH. A proposal included in the first part of Pectra, EIP-7702, will effectively end this requirement, allowing users to pay Gas fees with other more versatile cryptocurrencies.Another improvement is EIP-7251, which will allow Ethereum stakers to earn rewards on staked amounts exceeding 32 ETH. For example, users currently staking 40 ETH cannot earn from the additional 8 ETH or gain voting rights. This will significantly reduce the bandwidth requirements for the entire Ethereum network.Additionally, two other proposals included in the initial version of Pectra, EIP-6110 and EIP-7002, will also implement fully automated and permissionless ETH staking pools for the first time. The remainder of Pectra may not arrive until 2026.
