The second Blob-Parameter-Only (BPO) fork went live on Ethereum mainnet on Tuesday at epoch 419072. The lightweight BPO upgrade, introduced by EIP-7892, solely adjusts two parameters. BPO2 increased the blob target from 10 to 14 and raised the maximum blob limit from 15 to 21. The expansion of blob capacity further reduces Layer 2 transaction costs. BPO forks are designed to balance the bandwidth constraints of solo stakers with the growing data availability needs of Layer 2 solutions, enabling more scalable blob transactions. Since BPO forks don’t require a hard fork, they can be activated for scaling as needed.
Investment bank Morgan Stanley filed a new Form S-1 with the SEC to gain approval for its Morgan Stanley Ethereum Trust, which will directly hold spot ETH. The filing's approval is required before trading of the ETF can begin. The proposal also plans to stake a portion of the fund's ETH holdings to generate yield. No specific ticker, listing exchange, or custodian has been mentioned in the filing. Over 6.2 million ETH, worth nearly $2 billion, is currently held across 9 primary spot Ethereum ETFs. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF currently leads with over 3.6 million ETH.
Freedom Factory released ethOS v4.1.4 for the dGEN1 device, a significant update to its open-source Ethereum mobile operating system featuring a new ETHGlobal eSIM app, which allows users to purchase mobile data using crypto without the need for credit cards or KYC. The update also upgrades the CHAD (Computer Helping a Degen) AI assistant, introducing voice-to-text capabilities via hardware buttons and contextual screen awareness to help with on-chain actions like token swaps. The release also features app firewalls and a system-level toggle to completely opt-out of Google services.
