Rollup-as-a-Service provider Conduit now supports OP Succinct technology, enabling custom OP Stack chain deployments to upgrade from optimistic to ZK. With the integration, developers can easily convert new or existing OP Stack chains into Type-1 zkEVMs with minimal effort. OP Succinct leverages Succinct’s SP1 prover to validate the State Transition Function (STF), delivering sub-cent transaction fees, fast finality, and reduced transaction proving times. It also significantly shortens the withdrawal delay from seven days to just minutes, while maintaining full EVM equivalence.
Ethereum researcher Toni Wahrstätter published an article on the impact of increasing blob throughput on local block builders. He noted there is a strong community sentiment against sacrificing solo staker participation for linear scaling improvements. Wahrstätter found that solo stakers tend to miss more slots and experience higher rates of block reorgs compared to professional stakers. He also found that local block builders miss more slots than those using MEV-Boost. The article comes amid ongoing debates about the effects of a potential blob base fee increase on bandwidth requirements for home stakers. Wahrstätter raises the question of when the decentralization offered by lower-bandwidth solo stakers outweighs the constraints on Ethereum’s scalability.
Base increased its gas target by 1 Mgas/s, bringing the target to 12 Mgas/s as part of a systematic approach to gradually enhance the network’s capacity. The incremental increase is part of a weekly increase commitment with the ultimate goal of reaching 1 Ggas/s. By ramping up the gas target, Base aims to reduce congestion and enable more transactions to be processed within each block.
