The Ethereum community is currently debating the effectiveness of EIP-4844's blobs, with low usage by rollups and DApps resulting in the blob gas base fee remaining at just 1 wei.
Despite initial optimism, actual rollup and DApp engagement with blobs has been below expectation, leading to concerns about their contribution to overall network activity and inflation.
Proposals like EIP-7762 and EIP-7691 are being considered in light of the observed low demand for blobs, with some suggesting that increasing both the fee and the number of blobs could enhance scaling.
The ongoing debates surrounding blob usage reflect the mixed sentiments within the Ethereum community, weighing the scalability benefits against current rollup contributions and overall network health.
