EIP 7702, EIP-7691, and EIP-402: How Pectra and Beyond Shape Rollup Design
Ethereum’s May 7, 2025 Pectra upgrade changed what’s possible for rollups and wallets in very practical ways: EIP‑7691 doubled target blob throughput and retuned blob fee dynamics, while EIP‑7702 made “smart EOAs” real. Add the emerging x40

EIP-402, EIP-7623 Ethereum, EIP-1898 JSON-RPC Block Parameter by Hash or Number: Why They Matter for Infra Teams
Description: What infra leads need to know right now: how to make JSON-RPC reads reorg-resilient with EIP-1898, what EIP-7623’s calldata repricing actually changes in production after Pectra, and why “EIP‑402” is really HTTP 402/x402—and ho

EIP-7702 and EIP-7702 Set Code for EOAs: Account Abstraction Beyond EIP-4337
EIP‑7702 gives every legacy EOA a protocol‑native path to run smart‑account code at the same address, shipping on Ethereum mainnet with the Pectra hard fork on May 7, 2025. For decision‑makers, the practical takeaway is simple: pair 7702 wi

EIP-4337 Account Abstraction Status 2026 vs ERC-4337 Account Abstraction Status 2026
Description: In January 2026, account abstraction on Ethereum spans two tracks: ERC-4337’s production mempool-and-EntryPoint stack (now at EntryPoint v0.9) and protocol-level EOAs via Pectra’s EIP-7702, with emerging specs like ERC-7562, ER

EIP-7691 Ethereum Blob Capacity and Blob Throughput Increase: What It Means for Rollup Proof Throughput
EIP-7691 doubled Ethereum’s target blob capacity from 3→6 and raised the max from 6→9 in the May 7, 2025 Pectra upgrade; since then, PeerDAS-enabled “BPO” bumps have lifted the limit further to a 14/21 target/max (Jan 7, 2026). This post ex

EIP-7691 Ethereum, EIP-7691 Blob Throughput, and EIP-7691 Blob Throughput Increase Pectra
EIP-7691, activated in Ethereum’s Pectra hard fork on May 7, 2025, raises the network’s blob throughput from a 3/6 target/max to 6/9 and retunes blob fee dynamics to favor faster price declines when demand is below target. This post explain

Ethereum Archive Node Disk Size 2026 vs Erigon Archive Node Disk Size 2026 vs Geth Full Node Disk Size 2026
Summary: As of January 7, 2026, Ethereum archive storage has shifted dramatically: Geth’s new path‑based archive mode cuts disk to roughly 2 TB, while Erigon’s archive footprint sits in the 1.8–2.2 TB range; a snap‑synced, periodically‑prun
