Epoch 424944: Where Did the Blobs Go?Blob Analysis
527 blob transactions waited in the mempool, but only 25% of blocks included them. The 30x MEV reward gap (0.15 ETH vs 4.65 ETH) reveals why.

5 mega MEV blocks worth 50-69 ETH each in 48 hours. The largest (69 ETH) is 3,946x the median. A solo staker earned 5 years of rewards in 12 seconds.
Comprehensive 24h analysis. Block p50: 1.8s, Data column p50: 1.78s. MEV: Titan 28%, Ultra Sound 27%. 47,257 MEV blocks, 4,354 ETH total.
The protocol trades bandwidth for reliability—nodes receive every message ~5 times. Attestations contribute 8.5 GB/day of duplicates.
Blocks arriving after 4 seconds have near-0% head accuracy. ~50 slots per week where every validator voted "wrong".
47,000 blocks analyzed. Half extract just 0.01 ETH. Top 0.1% capture 69 ETH in a single block.
128 data columns, but some are bleeding. Column 76 at 98.45% availability. Early morning failures suggest tired validators.
Zero reorgs in 30 days. Missed block rate below 0.3% daily. 10,735 validators from an unknown entity missed 100% of their blocks.
Local blocks capture 1/1600th the MEV of relay blocks. Validators building locally left ~7,500 ETH on the table in 24 hours.
845 extreme outlier observations. Some Prysm nodes taking 13+ minutes to receive blocks. Lodestar outliers up to 49 days.
HHI 2140 = "moderately concentrated" per antitrust standards. Builder oligopoly is real.
