Ethereum just pushed its blob limit to 21 through the latest BPO hard fork, and this is huge for scaling. More blobs on the network means rollups can batch way more transactions together, which directly translates to cheaper gas fees for users. The upgrade addresses one of the main pain points L2 solutions have been dealing with—transaction throughput constraints. This kind of incremental optimization on the protocol level keeps compounding benefits for the entire ecosystem. Rollup-based solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism should see meaningful improvements in their transaction capacity and cost efficiency once the network fully settles into this new state.

Blob from 6 to 21, this wave is indeed the top, gas fees are about to plummet.

Blob mentioned 21? Haha, finally no more crashing over gas fees.

Is the blob limit now at 21? Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Continuing with these gas fees is really unbearable.

Blob has risen again, this time by 21, and the L2s can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

If I had known that the blob upgrade would be so powerful, I wouldn't have opened the Arb position so early...
