Airdrop requests from the new Ethereum layer-2 network called Scroll briefly sent blob fees as high as $4.52. This is the third time since Ethereum’s Dencun update in March that blob fees have increased.

Pseudonym crypto data analyst Hildobby noted in a post on the X platform on October 22 that the increase was triggered by the listing of Scroll’s governance token SCR on Binance and the airdrop to users.

According to Dune Analytics data, blob fees reached a four-month high of $4.52 on October 22. This increase increases the transaction costs on Ethereum L2s, while also increasing the network’s revenues.

To address this, Ethereum developers have submitted a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal called EIP-7742. This proposal aims to increase the scalability of the network by dynamically adjusting blob gas targets.
