TechFlow news: OP Labs announced on the X social platform that 4844 will go live on the OP chain at 8:00 AM Beijing time on March 14. The Ecotone upgrade will also launch simultaneously, pending approval from Optimism governance. Node operators need to take steps to prepare for the upgrade.
After the basic Ecotone configuration is set up, node operators must configure their nodes with a new Beacon endpoint. This is because shortly after Ecotone activation, batch transactions will be sent as blobs under EIP-4844, and blobs can only be retrieved from a Beacon node.
