Jesse Pollak, the driving force behind Base, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to emphasize a crucial shift in Ethereum's scaling roadmap. Quoting Ethereum researcher @protolambda, Pollak highlighted that while data availability through blobs is set to expand dramatically—potentially 10 to 100 times—the real game-changer ahead lies in execution scaling.

For those new to the lingo, "blobs" refer to data blobs introduced in Ethereum's Dencun upgrade. They're essentially cheap storage packets that Layer 2 networks like Base use to post transaction data back to the main Ethereum chain, keeping costs low and throughput high. @protolambda pointed out a clear path to ramping up to around 100 blobs per block via incremental increases and "BPO forks" (Blob Per Operator forks, a proposed mechanism for dynamic blob capacity).

But Pollak's post zooms in on execution—the actual processing of smart contracts and transactions. He calls for ramping up efforts on several fronts:

• Block Access Lists (BAL): This innovation, sometimes called EIP-7594, aims to optimize how blocks handle data access, making execution more efficient by reducing unnecessary computations.

• Multidimensional Gas: A more nuanced fee system that prices different resources (like computation, storage, and bandwidth) separately, preventing bottlenecks and fairer pricing.

• Fee Markets: Evolving mechanisms like EIP-1559 to better manage transaction fees during high demand, ensuring smoother operations.

• Parallelization: Allowing multiple transactions to process simultaneously rather than sequentially, similar to how modern CPUs multitask.

• Client Performance: Tweaks to Ethereum client software (like Geth or Erigon) to run faster and handle more load.

This focus is huge for the meme token ecosystem on Base. As a Layer 2 built by Coinbase, Base has become a hotspot for meme coins thanks to its low fees and seamless integration with Ethereum. Enhanced execution means even faster transactions and lower costs, potentially sparking another wave of meme token launches, trading frenzies, and community-driven projects. Imagine deploying a viral meme token without worrying about gas wars or sluggish confirmations— that's the future Pollak is advocating for.

The original post, shared on September 11, 2025, has already sparked discussions in the crypto community, with replies echoing excitement about these upgrades. For meme insiders, this signals Base's commitment to staying ahead in the scalability race, directly benefiting tokens that thrive on hype and rapid adoption.

As Ethereum and its Layer 2s like Base continue to evolve, keeping an eye on these technical advancements is key. They not only improve the tech stack but also democratize access, letting more creators and traders jump into the meme token world without breaking the bank.
