Ethereum Blob Pressure Optimization Scheme BPO2 is now officially live on the mainnet. According to real-time on-chain data, this upgrade raises the target value of Blob to 14 per block, and the maximum capacity is also increased to 21.

What does this mean? In simple terms, Ethereum now has a stronger data throughput capacity. The previous limitations have been loosened, and transaction costs on Layer 2 are expected to decrease further. For users who are often discouraged by high fees, this is good news.

BPO (Blob-Parameter-Only) is essentially a parameter optimization upgrade that does not involve major protocol-level changes but can quickly unleash Ethereum's performance potential. Compared to large versions that require long-term development, this kind of fine-tuning upgrade has a much faster iteration speed.

It seems that Ethereum is continuously refining the details on the road to Layer 2 scaling, step by step optimizing the user experience.

Finally waited for it, can the transaction fees really be cheaper? --- From 14 to 21, it sounds pretty intense, but will L2 continue to compete? --- It's another parameter tuning, when will there be some substantial improvements? --- After this upgrade, gas fees should be reduced by about one-third, or it’s a pointless upgrade. --- BPO2 is here, Arbitrum and Op should be panicking haha. --- Complained about the high fees for so long, finally seeing some response, not easy. --- The increase in data throughput sounds good, but how much will it actually improve the user experience? --- 21 blob capacity, does this have any impact on StarkNet? --- More small optimizations again, can't we just fix the problem once and for all?

Finally some movement, even the flowers have withered from waiting The gas fee really should be lowered, brothers who can't afford to play are saved now It's just parameter tuning again, when will there be a hardcore upgrade L2 is about to take off Fee-party members are about to go bankrupt again, haha 21 blobs, sounds like a lot, now this is much better Relieved, relieved, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief

Starting to squeeze the toothpaste again, every time they say transaction fees will decrease, but what’s the result... Have the transaction fees really gone down, brothers? Finally, someone is seriously working on it, much better than some projects How much actual gas reduction can come from such fine-tuning? Let’s wait and see Doubling Blob capacity, hope this time it’s not just superficial prosperity Still the same saying, real implementation is what matters, don’t just talk about parameters Getting excited over a tweak in parameters, let’s wait for real data 14 to 21 doesn’t mean much, let’s see when the fee issue can be truly resolved Wait, is this another move to pump the market?

This upgrade is decent, but can the transaction fees really be significantly reduced? Let's wait and see the subsequent data.

Yet again, another upgrade. When will the transaction fees be reduced to a level acceptable to humans?

Finally relaxed, the transaction fee this time is finally not falling so quickly Honestly, I saw it coming a long time ago, parameter optimization is the most straightforward task, much more reliable than waiting for a major version Layer2 is really taking off now, the previously discouraged retail investors have a chance This move may seem insignificant, but on-chain data speaks for itself. Maxed-out throughput is a signal, and the bottom consensus is gradually building Blob from 3 to 14 to 21, giving a feeling of "continental rise and fall" finally stabilizing. Ethereum is still working diligently Micro-tuning upgrades are more appealing than major versions with bugs, this is called going with the flow Wait, how much can transaction fees be reduced in this wave? It directly affects my NFT onboarding costs

Finally here, can gas fees breathe a sigh of relief haha
