Ethereum Foundation Update on Scaling Efforts: Addition of L1 Scaling Lead Member

2025.08.06 12:40:44

On August 6th, the Ethereum Foundation issued a blog post to update the latest work progress in the "Scale L1 / Layer 1 Scalability" area. This includes the following 3 points: 1. Marius van der Wijden joins Ansgar Dietrichs and Tim Beiko to jointly lead the L1 scaling work. 2. Following Berlinterop, the mainnet gas limit has been increased to 45 million, marking the first step towards 100 million Gas and beyond. 3. All major execution layer clients have deployed the pre-merge history pruning feature, which significantly reduces node disk usage. It is understood that in order to address the growing demand on the Ethereum network, the Foundation reorganized the research and development team in June and renamed it to "Protocol", focusing on three key strategic goals: L1 Scalability (Scale L1), Blob Scalability, and User Experience/UX Improvement while ensuring security and decentralization.

Iran: Will Wear Down the U.S. Through a Protracted War

In an interview broadcast on U.S. public television PBS on August 11 local time, Mohammad Reza Naghdi, advisor to the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that the two main goals of the U.S. war against Iran—overthrowing Iran’s leadership and splitting the country—have “already failed,” adding that “victory is on Iran’s side.” Naghdi pointed out that the U.S. has displayed confusion and uncertainty in this conflict, saying, “The U.S. keeps announcing new goals every few days, turning this into a war without strategy.” He also emphasized that Iran will continue to achieve victories. Over more than five months of confrontation with the U.S., Iran has not only accumulated experience but also found that U.S. military forces are weaker than expected. Iran must achieve deterrence to ensure enemies never dare attack it again, and one way to do this is to “prolong the war” to wear down the U.S., so that anyone considering attacking Iran in the future “will first weigh the cost they will have to pay.” (Source: CCTV International News)
