Ethereum 4844 blobs protocol
Overview
Ethereum 4844 blobs (EIP-4844) are a temporary data structure introduced in the Dencun upgrade to improve rollup scalability. They provide a dedicated space for data availability that is cheaper than calldata and is pruned after a short period. Blobs are not accessible to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and are verified via KZG commitments.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Ethereum 4844 blobs connects to 38 tracked entities, most strongly to Arbitrum, Base, Optimism.
