Vitalik: a note on recursive STARK mempools (EIP-8288)
22:39; he hopes this EIP gets into I* and describes it as the next step after frames, unlocking extreme amounts of power.
After frames: recursive STARK aggregation
New EIP: frame type for PQ signature and STARK aggregation
(vbuterin) was merged. Transactions declare signatures and STARKs (for privacy or for L2s) as "dependencies", and the mempool and block builder can replace them with a recursive STARK proving they all exist, supporting them very gas-efficiently in a post-quantum world. An EIP-8288 update was also merged.

Glamsterdam's gas capacity
ethresear.ch: from 60M to 200M, simulating Glamsterdam's fee market
14:43 (misilva73). Around 21 days of historical mainnet transactions were replayed under the new gas schedule to simulate the first 7,200 blocks (about a day) under 12 demand scenarios. The limit takes about 4 hours to reach 200M; the day shows an initial fee spike, a decline as capacity expands, then adjustment around the new 100M target. Nine scenarios end with median utilization near target and median base fees from 0.0002 to 0.3928 gwei; the other three stay below target even with a nearly negligible base fee.
EIP-7928: amend the storage-read gas-feasibility check
Was merged, since the old check could reject valid blocks.
