2.) The current blob market is inefficient at matchmaking; it doesn't clear well. Most posters submit their best strategy blob tx. Given the max blob per block is 6, posters may send a tx with 1 to 6 blobs. Posters’ best strategy may change; Alice sent 6 blobs at time t1, then Bob sent 1 blob with a higher tip at t2. The builder picks Bob's tx because of the higher tip. If Alice had known Bob's intent, Alice would have sent 5 blobs at t1 instead of 6. To fix this, we either need a more relaxed version of the mempool that accepts a "menu" of txs and allows mix-matching. A relaxed mempool leads to DoS risk, so it would make sense to be done on the builder side and maybe just accept whitelisted senders to begin with. Another solution is to have a secondary market to mix-match blob txs to maximize social wellfair.

The blob market's inefficiency stems from rigid strategies and unpredictable tips. Introducing a more dynamic mempool or a secondary matching market could optimize outcomes. Though careful to mitigate DoS risks, a selective approach might enhance social welfare by better aligning interests.
