What's the Most Gas-Efficient Way to Process Thousands of Groth16 Proofs on Ethereum for a High-Throughput Rollup?
**Short answer:** Just skip the hassle of checking each Groth16 proof on L1 one by one. Instead, go for proof aggregation or recursion. This way, you only need one on-chain verification to validate the entire batch. Plus, design your contracts to do “one constant-cost check per batch.” It's way more efficient!

What's the Best Way to Aggregate Groth16 Proofs on Ethereum Right Now to Save on Gas Costs?
**Short description:** If you’re checking a bunch of Groth16 proofs on Ethereum in 2026, the smartest way to save on costs is to aggregate your proofs off-chain and then verify a single result on-chain. You can do this either through a recursive aggregated proof (which uses about 300k gas) or by using a batched attestation.

Sidechains vs. Rollups: A Comparison of Throughput and Costs on Ethereum
**Summary:** Decision-makers are looking for more than just a basic overview--they want the latest, data-driven insights. In this post, we break down the definitions from Ethereum.org and take a close look at today’s real-world performance, fees, and the security trade-offs involved with rollups.

EIP 7702, EIP-7691, and EIP-402: The Impact of Pectra and Others on Rollup Design
Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade on May 7, 2025, really turned the tables for rollups and wallets in some exciting and practical ways. To kick things off, EIP‑7691 doubled the target blob throughput and revamped the blob fee dynamics, which is a huge deal. Plus, EIP‑7702 introduced “smart EOAs,” adding even more functionality. And we can’t ignore the emerging x40--it's all pretty mind-blowing!

Get the Lowdown on EIP-402, EIP-7623, and EIP-1898: Why Infra Teams Should Care About These Ethereum Updates
**Description:** Here’s what every infrastructure lead should be keeping an eye on: First, we’ll explore how to boost the resilience of JSON-RPC reads against reorgs with EIP-1898. Next, we’ll chat about what EIP-7623's calldata repricing means for production after Pectra. And to wrap things up, we’ll reveal why “EIP-402” is essentially the same as HTTP 402/x402--and how it all ties together.

EIP-7702 and the Set Code for EOAs: Advancing Account Abstraction Beyond EIP-4337
EIP-7702 aims to make it super easy for all legacy EOAs to run smart-account code right at the same address. This cool feature is scheduled to roll out on the Ethereum mainnet with the Pectra hard fork on May 7, 2025. For anyone involved in decision-making, it’s a no-brainer: pair 7702 with

EIP-4337 vs ERC-4337: Where Do We Stand on Account Abstraction in 2026?
**Description:** As we dive into January 2026, there’s some cool stuff happening with account abstraction on Ethereum. On one hand, we’ve got the ERC-4337’s production mempool and EntryPoint stack, which is already at EntryPoint v0.9. On the flip side, Pectra’s EIP-7702 is introducing protocol-level EOAs, plus we’re seeing some fresh specs like ERC-7562 popping up. Exciting times ahead!

Getting to Know EIP-7691: How Pectra Boosts Ethereum's Blob Throughput
EIP-7691, which rolled out with Ethereum’s Pectra hard fork on May 7, 2025, significantly increases the network's blob throughput from a target/max of 3/6 to 6/9. It also adjusts the way blob fees work, allowing prices to fall more rapidly when demand drops below the target. Let’s take a closer look at what this all means!
