According to Bitcoin.com, World Chain plans to launch EIP-7928 Block-Level Access Lists (BALs) on mainnet on August 17, reportedly becoming the first Layer 2 network to deploy this technology in a production environment. The technology enables validators to verify transactions in parallel during block construction by streaming access list data every 200 milliseconds within the Flashblock architecture, rather than waiting for the block to complete and processing transactions sequentially, with a target throughput of 1 GigaGas per second. Unlike Ethereum’s planned formal introduction of EIP-7928 in the Glamsterdam upgrade, World Chain deploys it via a runtime flag, allowing client operators to upgrade ahead of time without coordinating a network-wide hard fork. Internal test data shows significantly improved throughput with stable validation latency on standard cloud infrastructure.

Summary
World Chain will deploy EIP-7928 Block-Level Access Lists (BALs) on its mainnet on August 17, 2026, marking a major on-chain milestone. The Layer 2 network claims to be the first to implement this technology in production, aiming for 1 gigagas per second throughput through its Flashblock design. Using a runtime flag method, the upgrade avoids a full hard fork. Internal tests demonstrated improved throughput and consistent verification latency on standard cloud environments. This development aligns with the growing momentum around real-world assets (RWA) as blockchain infrastructure evolves.
