  "id": 7691,
  "title": "EIP-7691: Blob throughput increase",
  "status": "Final",
  "type": "Standards Track",
  "category": "Core",
  "summary": "Doubles the target number of blobs per block (and raises the max) to increase L2 data capacity until future upgrades enable even more blobs.",
  "impacts": [
    "Lower fees on L2s as more blob space becomes available.",
    "Rollup apps benefit from cheaper data availability.",
    "No direct changes, potential fee improvements for L2 transactions.",
    "Monitoring should surface new blob target/max parameters.",
    "Directly increases throughput for rollups using blobs, more L2 scale.",
    "Slightly higher data propagation at the p2p layer within safe bounds.",
    "Parameters update that needed more optimization and testing",
    "Update blob gas accounting and targets.",
    "Higher data capacity for rollups",
    "Lower L2 fees in the near term",
    "Provides extra space before PeerDAS unlocks even more"
