Golden Finance reported that on January 20, Polynomial co-founder Gautham Santhosh warned that the continued demand for Ethereum Layer 2 is rapidly exhausting the mainnet blob capacity, with 55% of the blob currently occupied by two chains, BASE and World Chain. Since November last year, the basic blob fee has exceeded $50 several times, causing user transaction costs to rise significantly. The Pectra upgrade that will be launched in March will increase the blob limit per block to 9, but Santhosh believes that this can only temporarily alleviate the problem, and more solutions are still needed for long-term expansion.
