### Block structure and validity

Upon activation of this EIP, execution clients **MUST** extend the header schema with an
additional 64-bit field: the `target_blob_count`. This value is set to the current target blob count. The Engine API
is modified along with this EIP to provide the `target_blob_count` with each payload and implementations can use this
additional 64-bit field: the `target_blobs_per_block`. This value is set to the current target blob count. The Engine API
is modified along with this EIP to provide the `target_blobs_per_block` with each payload and implementations can use this
value to correctly set the block header field.

Validity of the `target_blob_count` is guaranteed from the consensus layer, much like how withdrawals are handled.

When verifying a block, execution clients **MUST** ensure the target blob count in the block header matches the one
provided by the consensus client.

Upon activating this EIP (i.e. before processing any transactions),
the verification of the blob maximum as given in EIP-4844 can be skipped. Concretely, this means any logic relating
to `MAX_BLOB_GAS_PER_BLOCK` as given in EIP-4844 can be deprecated.
Additionally, any reference to `TARGET_BLOB_GAS_PER_BLOCK` from EIP-4844 can be derived by taking the `target_blob_count` from the CL and multiplying by `GAS_PER_BLOB` as given in EIP-4844.

Otherwise, the specification of EIP-4844 is not changed. For example, blob base fee accounting and excess blob gas tracking occur in the exact same way.

### Block construction

The Engine API is extended to provide both the `target_blob_count` and the `maximum_blob_count` when the CL requests the EL to construct a payload for proposal.
The Engine API is extended to provide both the `target_blobs_per_block` and the `max_blobs_per_block` when the CL requests the EL to construct a payload for proposal.

These values should be used to ensure the correct number of blobs are included in any constructed payload, and to ensure that the blob base fee accounting is correctly computed.
