Ethereum has hit another key milestone in its scalability roadmap with the Fusaka upgrade’s final Blob Parameters Only (BPO) fork.
“Instead of waiting for a major annual upgrade to adjust network capacity, BPO forks allow Ethereum to tune specific parameters (like blob targets) independently and efficiently,” said Ethereum in an X post.

The second and final BPO fork raised the maximum blobs per block from 15 to 21 and the target from 10 to 14, completing the Fusaka upgrade’s parameter-only adjustments.
The change enhances data availability for rollups without a full hard fork, and could bring down layer 2 fees by up to 60% from current levels.
