ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF A COMPETITIVE BLOB MARKET

ethresear.ch5 min read

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

The blob market has entered a new competitive phase. It has generated $11M in fees since its inception. 11.8% of fees were from priority fees, while the rest of the ETH was burned. L2s have profited nearly $20 million from the cost savings from blobs, with some achieving 99% profit margins on transaction fees. Fees could see a similar increase if the blob count doubles, though increased competition and proposed changes like EIP 7762 could impact profitability and fee dynamics.
