There is a fundamental tension here that the cheap blobs surfaced: "EVM equivalent" L2s have similar bottlenecks to L1, but might want to be significantly more ambitious around e.g. throughput. In that case, waiting for L1 to solve these bottlenecks might not work, as L1 is happy at current levels.

What's the throughput ceiling of an unmodified, L1-equivalent EVM?

Clearly much higher than OPstack, which targets 1.5m gas/s today. Higher than Polygon at ~8m gas/s. And yes, lower than a hypothetical thruput-optimized modified VM.

But is it 10m? 100m? 1b?

Reth 100-200mgas/s benchmark today on big box, no changes, we will stress test this live in the next few months. Think we are scratching the surface and are excited for JIT/Parallel EVM and new DB in Reth.
