Gate News update: On April 8, an Ethereum researcher proposed EIP-8142, “Block-in-Blobs.” The plan is to fully encode transaction payload data for execution into the blobs introduced by EIP-4844, and to replace validators downloading the complete transaction payload with data availability sampling and cryptographic commitments. This aims to reduce bandwidth requirements and unify the billing model under “data gas.” In this design, in future zkEVM scenarios, correctness would be handled by zero-knowledge proofs, while blobs would guarantee data availability—avoiding the risk that data could be intentionally hidden even if consensus is reached solely based on proof.
