#eip-4844

The Ethereum blob data-availability fee market that every layer-2 rollup lives and dies by, live from the public Blobscan dataset, no key. Since the Dencun upgrade (EIP-4844, proto-danksharding) rollups no longer post their compressed transaction data as expensive calldata — they post it as blobs, large temporary data packets priced in their own independent fee market (the blob-gas market, with its own base fee that rises when blocks are full of blobs and falls when they are not). Blob space is now the single biggest cost line for almost every rollup, so the blob base fee and how much blob space each rollup consumes is the core economics of the entire layer-2 ecosystem — when blob demand spikes, every rollup's costs (and ultimately its user fees) rise together. The network endpoint returns the live state of the blob fee market: the current blob base fee, the average over recent blocks, the average blobs per block against the protocol target and maximum, the resulting utilisation, the excess blob gas that drives the fee, and the data-availability fee burned per block. The rollups endpoint is the key view — it ranks the layer-2 rollups by how much blob space they are consuming right now (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, World, Taiko and the rest), each with its blob count, blob gas used, share of all blob space and the data-availability fee it is paying in ETH. The blocks endpoint lists the most recent blocks with their blob count, blob base fee and DA fee. This is the blob / data-availability fee-market cut — distinct from the multi-chain execution-gas oracle (the EIP-1559 execution-gas market, not the separate blob-gas market), the ETH supply/burn feed (which reports a single blob-base-fee number but not blob-space utilisation or which rollups consume it), and the on-chain and TVL feeds. Fees are in gwei and ETH; figures are live, per block.
