Toni Wahrstätter ⟠(@nero_eth):Interop for Glamsterdam was a big success, and from what I can tell, it will bring major scaling improvements to Ethereum. With BALs (EIP-7928), nodes can parallelize transaction execution, state root computation, and batch prefetch the state needed for a block. With ePBS (EIP-7732), we get ~2-3x more time for execution. Devs have been shipping non-stop this week, and I’m as tired as I am convinced this fork will be a huge unlock.
