According to @deanmlittle, community member StrategicHash proposed adding a world-war resilience mode to Solana’s consensus, enabling a switch from high-throughput operations to a degraded but robust profile during extreme conditions.

According to @jessepollak, blobs are on track to scale throughput by 10-100x for Base and Ethereum, shifting the next scaling frontier to execution with priorities including block access lists, multidimensional gas, fee markets, parallelization, and client performance (source: X post by @jessepollak, Sep 11, 2025). For traders, this signals an execution-layer roadmap where monitoring gas pricing mechanics, execution throughput, and client performance on ETH and Base becomes key as work advances on fee markets, parallelization, and access lists (source: X post by @jessepollak, Sep 11, 2025).
