Ethereum may have a simpler way to ease the computing burden of its growing rollup ecosystem

- Ethereum's researchers discovered that letting 1,000 nodes rebuild the same blob is, shockingly, wasteful. Groundbreaking stuff. The "reduced RowDAS" prototype simply assigns recovery duty to specific high-custody nodes and lets everyone else copy the homework — 48.6 CPU-seconds down to 2.75 per simulated round, an 11–18× cut in duplicated grunt work, per Csaba Kiraly's Sept. 3 report. The catch: it still leans on supernodes like a threadbare courier leaning on relay hops, and
