PANews reported on January 20th that Gautham Santhosh, co-founder of Polynomial, warned that the continuous demand for ETH’s Layer 2 is rapidly depleting Mainnetblob capacity, with 55% of blob currently occupied by the BASE and World Chain. Since November last year, the basic fee for blob has exceeded $50 multiple times, leading to a significant rise in user Transaction Cost. The upcoming Pectra upgrade, which 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 that a long-term expansion still requires more solutions.
