Do Rollups Self-Organize? Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in the EIP-4844 Blob Fee Market

In briefDo Rollups Self-Organize? Multi-Agent RL in the EIP-4844 Blob Fee Market

SummaryThis paper studies the blob data fee market introduced by Ethereum's EIP-4844, using a multi-agent reinforcement learning environment calibrated to post-Dencun Ethereum data. The blob base fee is determined endogenously by the EIP-4844 rule applied to the aggregated choices of heterogeneous rollups. The authors report that independent learners settle near the target of three blobs per block without coordination, while supply exceeds the target at high demand.
