The results suggest operators could reduce duplicated work through a smaller change than the full RowDAS networking proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Researcher Csaba Kiraly's <a href=\"https:\/\/ethresear.ch\/t\/rowdas-eip-8371-distributed-blob-reconstruction-measured\/25897\">Sept. 3 report<\/a> describes the reduced design as a possible first step toward RowDAS. It assigns recovery duties without introducing the new row-networking channels in the full proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Blobs carry data used by layer-2 rollups. <a href=\"https:\/\/eips.ethereum.org\/EIPS\/eip-7594\">PeerDAS<\/a>, Ethereum's system for checking that blob data is available, lets nodes download only part of it. High-custody nodes hold at least 64 of the 128 data columns, enough to rebuild missing blob data; supernodes hold all 128.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/vitalik-buterin-outlines-scalable-solution-for-ethereums-data-surge\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Ethereum's data bloat threatens home staking amid surge toward 1.2TB need<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Many high-custody nodes can repeat the same reconstruction.

At a 20% supernode share, the corresponding figures were 91 and 6.6 CPU-seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Those totals describe accumulated computing work across the simulated network, rather than elapsed recovery time. The accounting applies a measured 162-millisecond cost per blob recovery on a Ryzen 9 8945HS processor. Transaction speeds and fee savings were outside the reported measurements.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-3e41831c-5d21-4ccf-8a2e-bcfe1e070768.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-560620\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-3e41831c-5d21-4ccf-8a2e-bcfe1e070768.png\" alt=\"Reported simulation CPU work for 1,000 nodes and four blobs with no columns withheld: 48.6 versus 2.75 CPU-seconds at 10% supernodes and 91 versus 6.6 at 20%, comparing PeerDAS with the reduced RowDAS variant.

The reduced design retains today's dependence on high-custody nodes and cannot provide that additional resilience.<\/p>\n<p>The measurements remain limited to simulated, in-process networks using real cryptography. Kiraly reported no devnet results, and the full design's 128-row-subnet configuration remains an extrapolation from smaller subnet counts. Larger simulations and real-network tests are still ahead.<\/p>\n<p>EIP-8371 leaves blob limits unchanged, and the proposed split between duty assignment and row networking has yet to be incorporated into its draft text. The immediate opportunity is narrower: reducing the processor work needed for recovery, with the broader resilience benefits dependent on a later row layer.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ethereums-next-major-upgrade-just-slipped-to-late-2026-forcing-a-two-week-scramble-to-save-its-2027-roadmap\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Ethereum's next major upgrade just slipped to late 2026, forcing a two-week scramble to save its 2027 roadmap<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A reduced RowDAS design shares reconstruction duties in 1,000-node tests, while retaining reliance on high-custody nodes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1264,"featured_media":560783,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77968,77921,37],"tags":[72190,77645],"prediction_market_topic":[],"post_folder":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.9 (Yoast SEO v21.9.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ethereum blob recovery: RowDAS prototype cuts CPU work<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ethereum blob recovery tests show lower CPU work with a reduced RowDAS design.
