What Are Ethereum Blobs, and How Do They Boost Scalability?

Ethereum sharding promises to scale the Ethereum network significantly. Proto-danksharding, the first upgrade in the sharding roadmap, introduces a new concept called blobs. This article explains what blobs are and how they improve Ethereum's scalability. Several years later, scalability remains a major pain point for the Ethereum network. Multiple solutions have been proposed to solve this problem, including sharding the network.  Sharding involves splitting the Ethereum network into smaller units that act as smaller blockchains secured by a rotating set of validators, lightening the cost of storing data on the blockchain. While having the potential to improve the scalability
