Technical Highlights
- Implements EIP-7639, improving transaction parallelism.
- Introduces dynamic gas models to stabilize fees during congestion.
- Prepares groundwork for Verkle Trees, a step toward full stateless clients.
Why It Matters
Ethereum remains the backbone of DeFi and NFTs. Performance improvements strengthen its dominance amid growing competition from Solana, Near, and Avalanche.
