Deep Tide TechFlow News, on October 23, according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum blob fees surged to $4.52, marking the third peak since the Dencun upgrade in March. This fee spike was primarily triggered by the token airdrop of the emerging L2 network Scroll. Crypto data analyst Hildobby stated, "Scroll airdrop recipients triggered the blob market; they are no longer free." Scroll listed its governance token SCR on Binance that day and airdropped it to users. According to Dune Analytics data, blob fees reached a four-month high.

The high blob fees are a double-edged sword for Ethereum. On one hand, it brings more blob gas fee revenue to the network; on the other hand, it also raises transaction costs on L2 networks. This phenomenon occurred a month after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin warned that blob capacity was nearing saturation. To address this challenge, Ethereum developers proposed a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP-7742) on October 18, aiming to dynamically set blob gas targets and maximums, optimize blob transactions, and improve network scalability.
