What is a Blob?
A "blob" is a compact chunk of transaction data used by modern Ethereum rollups to store user data more efficiently. Think of blobs as packets of data attached to transactions — they let applications include larger payloads at lower on-chain cost. Blobs are most useful for batching many small pieces of data, storing off-chain references, or shipping larger application data without bloating the main chain.
In simple terms: blobs let developers move more data while keeping fees lower. This overview will help you read the live feed, understand key metrics, and use the dashboard to make decisions.
Live Feed
The Live Feed shows recent blocks and transactions that include blobs. Each row lists the block, age, number of transactions, number of blobs, gas usage for blobs, cost per blob, and related rollups. Use it to spot spikes in activity or sudden fee changes.
Tip: watch the "Cost / Blob" column to see how expensive storing data is over time. Combine this with the heatmap and charts to understand if costs are trending up or down.
Metrics & Charts
Key charts include total blobs over time, rollup share (who is producing blobs), and cost heatmaps. These visualizations help you answer questions like "Which rollups are using most blob space?" and "When are costs peaking during the day?".
Use the charts to compare daily trends, evaluate rollup market share, and detect anomalous behavior that may signal congestion or new usage patterns.

Market
Real-time market signals, fee trends, and blob demand metrics. Monitor volatility, utilization patterns, and network dynamics to inform operational decisions.
Fee Trends
Monitor fee patterns and pricing cycles to understand when it's best to submit blob transactions. The trend chart shows historical fee movements over the past week, while the heatmap reveals peak cost periods across different times of day and day of week.

Regime Heatmap — 7d × 24h
Network Activity
See which rollups are actively submitting blobs and understand their contribution to overall network activity. This helps identify dominant players in the blob ecosystem and track shifting usage patterns.
Blob Activity by Rollup (24h)
Rollup Ecosystem Map
Visualize the complete rollup ecosystem and understand the relationships between different rollup solutions, their market share, and their blob utilization patterns. This comprehensive map provides a high-level view of the blob landscape.
Research
Long-horizon blob economics: how usage grows, how different rollups behave over time, and what the market signals are telling us. This section is meant to be readable for non-technical users while still giving enough depth for analysis.
Cumulative Blob Growth
The line chart below shows how blob usage rises over time. A steady slope means adoption is expanding smoothly; sharp jumps often indicate release cycles, new rollup launches, or changes in fee incentives.
Daily Blob Volume by Rollup
This chart breaks down total blob volume by rollup across the last 30 days. It helps answer a simple question: which rollups are consistently active, and which ones spike only occasionally?
Blob Slot Utilization
Slot utilization shows how full the blob space is over time. When utilization is high, it indicates strong demand and potentially higher fees. When it drops, it suggests less network congestion or decreased interest in blob transactions.
What the Research Means
A simple way to read this section: growth chart = usage growth, donut chart = who is dominating, stacked bars = when blobs were created, and regime timeline = how stable the market has been.
What to Watch Next
Watch for sudden growth spikes, a shift in market share, or a wider distribution across rollups. Those often mean the ecosystem is changing.
