Introduction

Note: This specification is built upon Electra and is under active development.

Configuration

Execution

Name	Value	Description
TARGET_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK_EIP7594	uint64(9)	[New in EIP7594] Target number of blobs in a single block limited by MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK_EIP7594
MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK_EIP7594	uint64(12)	[New in EIP7594] Maximum number of blobs in a single block limited by MAX_BLOB_COMMITMENTS_PER_BLOCK
