Why read

Editorial reading note
The checked portions are Abstract; Specification/Parameters in the pinned version. The original title is Shard Blob Transactions.
The specification introduces blob transaction type 0x03 for carrying large amounts of data. EVM execution cannot directly access the blob data itself but can access its commitments; the format is designed for compatibility with full sharding. When studying scaling, distinguish the data from what execution can see, then check upgrade-specific rules. This pin is not a live account of all current parameters or fees.
