Ethereum has raised its block gas limit to 60 million as it prepares for the Fusaka upgrade. This change is attributed to improvements in block-size safeguards, client optimizations, and successful testnet results. The upgrade is set to enhance network efficiency and transaction throughput.

zkSync’s Airbender prover can now generate Ethereum L1 block proofs in real-time using only two consumer-grade RTX 5090 GPUs. Vitalik Buterin commended the progress but warned about potential performance gaps and suggested adjusting gas prices for costly operations like RSA verification.

Vitalik Buterin highlights the significance of the PeerDAS feature in Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade, which allows nodes to verify block data without storing it entirely, enhancing scalability. He notes that while the initial rollout will be conservative, PeerDAS is essential for future Layer 1 and Layer 2 scaling, potentially allowing for more efficient data handling and reduced strain on the network.

Base aims to build a global onchain economy by scaling its gas target to 250 Mgas/s by 2025, significantly reducing gas fees. In Q1, it achieved 25 Mgas/s, with plans to reach 50 Mgas/s by the end of Q2. The article outlines progress on scaling bottlenecks, including improvements from the upcoming Pectra hard fork and advancements in client execution speed and fault proof systems.

The Ethereum Foundation's Privacy Stewards of Ethereum has released a comprehensive roadmap aimed at enhancing end-to-end privacy on the blockchain. Key focus areas include private writes, reads, and proving, with the goal of ensuring that private onchain actions are affordable and compliant.
