In a social post, Tom Wan, Entropy Advisors’ Head of Data, noted that the Fusaka upgrade triggered an uptick in the average Blob Gas price, even as activity largely remains near 1 wei per unit. Crucially, the Blob base fee stays exceptionally low, around $0.03, offering a predictable cost floor for routine on-chain operations.
The accompanying EIP proposal is seen as enhancing price discipline by making Blob prices more predictable and less volatile, aiding L2 projects and institutional users in budgeting and cost forecasting with greater confidence.
This development strengthens transparency within the Blob ecosystem, supporting prudent budgeting, risk management, and scalable deployment for enterprise-grade smart-contract activity.
