| 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 its 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 would then be updated to include a proposed new blob gas target and limit. |

Could we add more details of the monitoring results or link to somewhere where it is documented? That would give the reader a clear picture of how much the network health has been affected and the fact that it is in an acceptable range.

Yup, we will have multiple writeups published. We're currently working on some tools to get us more low level p2p visibility, once that's considered stable-ish we will trigger a new round of big block tests on Mainnet to gather the data.

Proposals should be written as if they are already Final. It's just too easy to miss these kind of sentences while reviewing, and it looks really weird when a Final EIP has something like "The EIP would then be updated..."

agreed, i've changed the language to indicate this

| 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, but given the uncertain timelines, this EIP aims to increase the throughput short term to provide some scaling until future solutions are deployed. |

[...] implement peerDAS [...]
Can you quickly elaborate on what peerDAS is for the unfamiliar, or link to an EIP defining it?

I've added a link to the EIP
