Ethereum & Smart Contracts
Blob
Also: Proto-Danksharding, EIP-4844
A temporary, cheaper kind of data space added to Ethereum in the March 2024 Dencun upgrade, designed for rollups to post their data. It sharply cut fees on many Layer 2 networks, and later upgrades such as Fusaka have raised how many blobs fit in each block.
