Ethereum Blob Data: Why Smart Contracts Can't Read It
Blob transactions cut rollup data costs sharply, but the EVM only ever sees a 48-byte commitment. The mechanical reason is deliberate, and worth understanding.

Ethereum trades near $1,774, but a slide under $1,000 isn't unthinkable. A calm look at what the level means and how to think about it.
№ 004EthereumWhy Some Ethereum Smart Contracts Can't Be Upgraded
Proxy patterns let developers upgrade smart contracts, but certain design choices make upgrading impossible. Here's exactly why, with concrete mechanics.
№ 005EthereumEthereum Verkle Trees: Smaller Proofs, Lighter Nodes
Verkle trees shrink Ethereum state proofs from megabytes to kilobytes and could let nodes sync without storing the full chain. Here's how.
№ 006EthereumWhy Ethereum Gas Prices Spike Unexpectedly
Block space can look half-empty yet gas prices still spike. Here's the precise mechanism behind Ethereum fee surges most guides never explain.
