Sunnyside Devnet Reports (Internal)

Overview

Introduction

This was a short mixed-devnet run executed while preparing for fusaka‑devnet‑4 with EthPandaOps, but it still produced useful signal. We operated a fusaka-devnet-3 spec devnet with 25% supernodes and 75% full nodes, applying a gigabit cap to supernodes and 25/50 Mbps up/down to fullnodes. We raised the gas limit to 60 M and targeted ~30 M gas per block in the “large tx” phases. We staged the load step-by-step: start with baseline (only blobs or only large transactions), then combine the two, and finally apply bandwidth limits. The intent was to extrapolate toward fusaka-devnet‑4, which will push blob targets toward 48/72 under proportionally less supernodes, higher gas, and bounded bandwidth.

Across all scenarios—including the bandwidth‑limited runs—we were able to deliver 72 blobs per block at peak and sustain >60 blobs on a 10‑minute average, which suggests the network can meet a 48/72 target in favorable conditions. Notably, this was achieved with fewer supernodes (1 in 4) and a higher gas limit (60 M) than earlier tests; the figures above reflect the bandwidth‑limited case. The primary area of concern is block time: instability (>14 s) began around ~60 blobs in the pure‑blob baseline, ~45 blobs when adding 30 M gas of transactions, and ~30 blobs when bandwidth constraints were applied.
