World Chain to Deploy EIP-7928 Block Access Lists on Mainnet Aug 17

World Chain becomes first L2 to implement EIP-7928 block access lists on mainnet Aug 17, targeting 1 gigagas/sec throughput and reduced latency via Flashblock architecture.

Woofun AI reports that World Chain, an Optimism-based layer-2 network, will deploy block access list technology on its mainnet on Aug. 17. The upgrade utilizes Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7928 to optimize transaction processing by pre-specifying storage slots and addresses, thereby reducing redundant operations. This mechanism supports the network’s Flashblock architecture, which streams block access lists every 200 milliseconds to deliver near-instant confirmations. The implementation aims to achieve a processing capacity of up to one gigagas per second, marking a significant increase over current layer-2 capabilities.
