Ethereum's scaling evolution continues to gain momentum. The BPO-2 fork recently pushed the maximum blob capacity per block from 15 to 21, and early adoption metrics tell an interesting story—as of early January, roughly 1.5% of blocks are already exceeding the previous limit. What's notable here isn't just the numbers; it's how these upgrades compound quietly. Each incremental boost to throughput and data availability makes a tangible difference for layer-2 solutions and rollup efficiency. The network is effectively getting leaner and faster without the hype cycle most upgrades demand. This is infrastructure scaling done right—methodical, data-backed, and already showing real-world traction.

The true infrastructure upgrade should be like this: work silently, not rely on hype, and let the data speak for itself.

Blob has risen from 15 to 21. This upgrade was a bit low-key; not many people noticed.

Oh, the upgrade from 15 to 21 for blob is truly subtle, the L2 folks should be sneaking a laugh.

I wonder if anyone has noticed that quietly making big moves is truly a sign of taste.

Compared to those projects that boast every day, Ethereum has been quite low-key this time... quietly getting things done.
---
1.5% of the blocks are already in, this is true adoption.
---
No, no, we need to see if the layer 2 solutions are really taking off.
---
Both blobs and rollups... basically, just cheaper, right?
---
Data speaks for itself, I love to see it. Finally, a reliable upgrade.
---
Every time they talk about methodology, but we have to wait and see how it turns out.
---
Wait a minute, such a quiet iteration... hasn't the market reacted yet?
---
Damn, is this data growth real or just storytelling again?

Infrastructure upgrades should be like this—rooted and not just hype.
