PANews October 23 news, according to Cointelegraph, the Scroll airdrop event caused Ethereum blob fees to briefly surge to $4.52, marking the third significant increase since the Dencun upgrade. While higher blob fees raised the gas fees returned to the network, they also increased L2 transaction costs. Previously, Ethereum developers proposed EIP-7742, which aims to optimize network scalability by dynamically setting blob gas targets and is expected to be implemented in the Pectra fork to address the growing demand for blobs.
