World Chain to Launch EIP-7928 Block Access List on August 17

Huo Xing Cai Jing reports that World Chain will launch full block access lists on mainnet on August 17, enabling the feature via a runtime flag without requiring a coordinated network-wide hard fork. The network claims it will become the first production-grade L2 network to stream EIP-7928 access list data within every flashblock. This feature transmits access list data every 200 milliseconds, allowing validators to verify transactions in parallel during block construction. World Chain states that the upgrade aims to achieve a maximum throughput of 1 gigagas per second without increasing validator hardware requirements. EIP-7928 is an Ethereum improvement proposal introducing block-level access lists to record accounts and storage slots accessed during block execution. Internal tests by World Chain show that, on standard cloud infrastructure, verification latency remains stable when throughput increases to 1 gigagas per second.
