summary
Ethereum Foundation announces a new P2P networking team and shifts resources to the application layer, plans Petra-era upgrades that aim to raise blob count to six (with n as the upper bound) to increase throughput, and pushes inclusion lists at protocol level so transactions defined in the list must be accepted (reducing relay/builder censorship). Work includes EIPs for chain abstraction to enable account abstraction and L2 interoperability, with short-term social efforts plus long-term protocol changes.
