[Opinion: The balance between Ethereum L1 and L2 can be restored by increasing the minimum blob fee and increasing the use of L2] Golden Finance reported that crypto KOL cygaar wrote on X: "The relationship between Ethereum L1 and L2 is now quite unbalanced. L2 has gained the benefits of Ethereum security without contributing much value to ETH. I think there are two ways to restore the balance: 1. Increase the minimum blob fee. Currently, for rollups, the blob fee is basically zero, which means that Ethereum gets almost no value from the L2DA cost. In the world before EIP-4844, rollups has always been the largest source of Gas consumption for ETH, causing ETH to face strong deflationary pressure. However, because of DA Blobs are essentially free, so rollups no longer consume much ETH. This, combined with the reduction in execution activity on Ethereum L1, has caused ETH to become inflationary again. A perhaps more short-term solution is to increase the base blob fee. L2s must pay a certain amount of fees to use Ethereum DA. One could argue that increasing Ethereum DA costs will cause L2s to move to alternative DA solutions, but I think chains that want to truly inherit Ethereum's security will still pay these costs. 2. Increased L2 Usage The current blob pricing curve is set this way because researchers predict that there will be more demand for L2. However, outside of a few major events (initial blob launch, blobscriptions, LZ airdrop), the cost of a blob has not exceeded the minimum fee. If demand and usage of L2 increases, we may reach a state where the blob pricing curve can appropriately support DA In addition to sizable DA costs, the amount of gas used for rollup settlements is also likely to increase to sizable amounts. This is the path that is most beneficial to the Ethereum ecosystem in the long run, but also requires intrinsic demand for L2 blockspace. We need more interesting consumer-facing applications to attract users and drive more on-chain usage. In this world, blob fees are almost never at their lowest price, and rollups will pay large amounts to inherit Ethereum's security. "
