"The biggest expense that these rollups faced prior to EIP-4844 was the cost of storing their batches in the CALLDATA of L1 transactions. Now, they store their batch data in blobs, which are much cheaper because they are temporary". Is it possible to estimate roughly which part of total fees relates to storing data in blobs now. I assume in the past (before EIP-4844) it was the vast majority, but what about now? What is the main "spender" of fees for rollups?
If it is not DA anymore will appchains consider blobs as a DA instead of using other DAs like Celestia/Avail/etc?
DA cost still the main expense for Rollup. ETH blob currently dominates the DA sector (check on L2beat) although their cost is higher compared to other DA solutions. Rollup would prefer to use ETH blob as DA solution as it is more reliable. However, they still have the scalability limitations. In the future, where thousands of rollup being created, the other DA solutions would have more room to compete.
Thank you for the article! I have a question

You made it a lot easier for me to understand the technicalities behind Blobs, EIP-4188 with the touch of Onchain Data.
I'm finding your research quite helpful...
