According to Odaily Planet Daily, EigenDA's rollup on the mainnet is now free to use, and all rollups are welcome to publish blobs to EigenDA on the Ethereum mainnet. To prevent witch/DDoS attacks on the free layer, the team has deployed a whitelist authenticated by IP or ETH address ECDSA. The free permissionless layer is currently 6 blobs of 128KB per batch, a total of 768KB every 10 minutes, but partners can work with EigenDA to seek to increase this indicator.
In comparison, EigenDA's free tier throughput exceeds the throughput used by the most commonly used rollups on Ethereum today (e.g. Base publishes less than 1 blob every 10 minutes). EigenDA is working on enabling permissionless payments for blob throughput, which will be released later this year. When this system is launched, EigenDA still provides reserved bandwidth at a fixed rate for high-throughput use cases.
EigenDA currently generates 0.6 MB/s of synthetic load continuously and has run load tests on mainnet with peak throughput up to 10 MB/s. In comparison, Ethereum has a throughput of 0.032 MB/s for 4844 blobs and Celestia mainnet has 1/6 MB/s.
