Ethereum has blobs. Where do we go from here?

The Dencun hard fork has activated, and thanks to Blobscriptions the blob fee markets are now in "price discovery mode".

It has been well-understood for years that the future of Ethereum scaling depends on rollups backed by data space secured with data availability sampling. EIP-4844 is a key change that lays the groundwork for this future.

The next step is verifying blobs with PeerDAS, a conservative version of DAS that can offer some additional scaling. At first, we'll likely see some clients full-verifying and others doing DAS checks.

More and more advanced versions of DAS can be introduced over time.

Meanwhile rollups also need to improve, in four key ways.

First, data compression.

Second, optimistic data constructions, both Plasma and other "hybrid data availability" ideas that are designed to maximize security.
