Nodes are only required to store blob data for 4096 epochs (~18days). 
This means the first blobs are now starting to expire!
The chart below shows you the current In/Out of blob storage and a simulation of the next 18 days.

Nodes currently hold ~25GB of blob data.
Under the assumption that we'll sustain the 3 blobs/block target, this number will continue to rise and reach a max of ~50GB in about 2 weeks.
Nodes will not need more blob storage than that until the blob target is raised in the future.

The first blobs have started to expire today.
Who has committed to storing them indefinitely?
- @sassal.eth 
- @toniw.eth 
- ...

Who else apart from most data providers?

What about the expired blobs?
Luckily some community members and data providers have committed to storing all blob data indefinitely.
Thank you all for this service. 🤝
