CoinFeed reported on April 8th that, according to The Block, Ethereum researchers have proposed the EIP-8142 "Block-in-Blobs" scheme. This scheme aims to encode the entire transaction payload data into blobs introduced in EIP-4844, and replace validators with data availability sampling and cryptographic commitments to download the complete transaction payload, thereby reducing bandwidth requirements and unifying the billing model to "data gas". In future zkEVM scenarios, this design uses zero-knowledge proofs to ensure correctness and blobs to guarantee data availability, avoiding the risk of data being deliberately hidden while consensus is reached solely through proofs.
