PEERDAS MEANS REAL SHARDING FINALLY LIVE ON ETHEREUM

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Fusaka's PeerDAS is sharding. Ethereum now reaches consensus on blocks without any single node having to see all the data, using client-side sampling instead of validator voting. That means L2s can scale to far more data and transactions while keeping Ethereum's security guarantees, and this is even robust to 51% attacks. The L1, however, still doesn't benefit fully without mature zkEVMs, block building is still centralized in builders, and there's no sharded mempool yet. Over the next two years, the plan is to scale up PeerDAS for L2s, then point it inward to increase L1 gas capacity once zkEVMs are ready.
