World Chain will launch the EIP-7928 block access list feature on August 17

Comparatively, World Chain will launch the full block access list on the main network on August 17. This feature will be enabled through a run-time flag without the need to coordinate a hard fork across the network. The network says it will be the first production L2 network to stream EIP-7928 access list data within each flashblock.

The feature transmits access list data every 200 ms, enabling validators to verify transactions in parallel during block construction. World Chain said the upgrade aims to achieve a maximum throughput of 1 gigagas per second without increasing validators' hardware requirements. EIP-7928 is an Ethereum upgrade proposal that introduces block-level access lists to record accounts and storage slots touched during block execution. World Chain's internal testing showed that verification delays remained stable as throughput increased to 1 gigagas per second on standard cloud infrastructure.
