> On March 13, the Dencun hard fork activated, enabling one of the long-awaited features of Ethereum: proto-danksharding (aka EIP-4844, aka blobs). Initially, the fork reduced the transaction fees of rollups by a factor of over 100, as blobs were nearly free. In the last day, we finally saw blobs spike up in volume and the fee market activate as the blobscriptions protocol started to use them. Blobs are not free, but they remain much cheaper than calldata.
Can someone please confirm this isn’t the incipit from an unpublished Douglas Adams novel?
- everfree 3y agoTypically when there's a highly technical topic on HN that I don't understand, I don't comment on the domain jargon. I didn't go into today's Babylon thread and comment "Node geometry? Gaussian splat rendering? Sounds like a Douglas Adams novel." So I guess just don't really understand the mentality.
- camillomiller 3y agoChill, I guess? The technical jargon sounds stylistically a lot more made up and playful than the one you suggested. When did HN become so unbearably stuck-up?
