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

World Chain will launch a complete block access list on the mainnet on August 17, enabling this feature through a runtime flag without coordinating a hard fork across the network. The network claims it will be the first production-level L2 network to stream EIP-7928 access list data within each flashblock.

This feature transmits access list data every 200 milliseconds, allowing validators to verify transactions in parallel during the block construction process. World Chain states that the upgrade aims to achieve a maximum throughput of 1 gigagas per second without increasing the hardware requirements for validators. EIP-7928 is an Ethereum upgrade proposal that introduces block-level access lists to record accounts and storage slots accessed during block execution. Internal testing by World Chain shows that when throughput rises to 1 gigagas per second on standard cloud infrastructure, validation latency remains stable.
