Ethereum, with its rollup centric roadmap, scales by relying on L2. Since the Dencun fork, the blob gas target and maximum was set to 3/6 respectively. The blob gas limit was arrived at based on a series of big block tests performed on the Ethereum mainnet network as well as a series of testnets. The values were chosen cautiously, as it's extremely hard to predict the exact p2p behaviour of Ethereum mainnet.

As we now have the Dencun upgrade live, we are able to use monitoring tools to check the network health. Initial monitoring indicates that we have a stable network with the current gas target, allowing us to consider starting a series of big block and blob tests to determine the theoretical headroom we currently have. The EIP specifies a proposed new blob gas target and limit based on the series of tests.

As we now have the Dencun upgrade live, we are able to use monitoring tools to check the network health. Initial monitoring indicates that we have a stable network with the current gas target and the re-org rate is trending downwards. Additionally, analysis on messages in gossipsub indicate that the inclusion of `IDONTWANT` messages could bring us a significant bandwidth savings. This allows us to consider starting a series of big block and blob tests to determine the theoretical headroom we currently have. The EIP specifies a proposed new blob gas target and limit based on the series of tests.

Additional EIPs such as [EIP-7623](./eip-7623.md) proposes a calldata cost increase which would significantly lower the worst case base block size, thus creating more headroom for a potential blob throughput increase.

The current long term plan of Ethereum is to implement peerDAS as specified by [EIP-7594](./eip-7594.md), but given the uncertain timelines, this EIP aims to increase the throughput short term to provide some scaling until future solutions are deployed.

The current long term plan of Ethereum is to implement peerDAS as specified by [EIP-7594](./eip-7594.md), but given the uncertain timelines, this EIP aims to increase the throughput short term to provide some scaling until future solutions are deployed. In order to alleviate valid concerns about solo-stakers, approaches such as the inclusion of a flag indicating the max blobs per block for locally built blocks could be considered.
