Why it leads
Why Ethereum Blobs (EIP-4844 / PeerDAS) ranks #1
Each strength is read from evidence on a 0–10 ladder and weighted as the published methodology states. The 32 objective points these produce (28.0 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest. Best in this ranking on 2 of 4.

What would move the rank
Each line is the ranking run again with one of Ethereum Blobs (EIP-4844 / PeerDAS)’s criterion scores changed and every other value held: the smallest whole-point change on that criterion that moves its rank, and where the re-run puts it. Up to 4 climbs and 3 falls are listed, smallest change first. Nothing here is a forecast.

Best for readers who weight
- Verifiable published cost per MB — 9/10, the category best
- What actually secures the data — 9/10, category best 10/10

- Blast radius if it halts + documented uptime — 9/10, category best 10/10
Tradeoffs
0 from the score dataWhere it trails
No scored criterion trails the category best by two points or more, so no tradeoff can be stated from the data.
Record watch-outs
- 'As safe as Ethereum' is true for the attestation and false for the archive: consensus clients are only required to serve blob sidecars for 4096 epochs, about 18 days. After that the data is gone from the protocol and you need your own archive or a third-party blob indexer. Also, the price you see is a spot price on a volatile fee market — the $0.0145/MiB measured here is the median of blocks 25,982,517-25,983,541 on 15 September 2026 (5,748,814 wei per blob gas, ETH at $2,402.28); within that window block 25,983,538 reached $0.163/MiB, and the later blocks 25,983,956-25,984,979 had a median of $0.0321/MiB.

- Pricing
- EIP-4844 (Final, fetched 22 October 2026): GAS_PER_BLOB 2**17 (131,072); MIN_BASE_FEE_PER_BLOB_GAS 1. EIP-7918 (Final, live since Fusaka; fetched 22 October 2026) adds a reserve price: "the reserve blob base fee becomes BLOB_BASE_COST * base_fee_per_gas / GAS_PER_BLOB" with BLOB_BASE_COST 2**13, a ratio that "is 1/16". Live mainnet, 2026-10-22: eth_config (ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com) current blobSchedule {"baseFeeUpdateFraction":11684671,"max":21,"target":14}, no next fork scheduled. eth_feeHistory (ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com) over blocks 26,245,860-26,246,883 gives a blob base fee of min 1,896,597 / median 4,583,621 / max 14,019,988 wei and an execution base fee median of 81,733,558 wei; in 999 of the 1,024 blocks the blob base fee was at or below 1.05x the EIP-7918 reserve (execution base fee / 16), so the blob price now tracks execution gas. Latest block 26,246,887 (08:13:23 UTC): excessBlobGas 0xb5a0102 = 190,447,874, which fake_exponential(1, 190,447,874, 11,684,671) turns into 11,982,412 wei per blob gas, against a reserve of 12,545,257 wei (baseFeePerGas 0xbf6ce96 = 200,724,118 / 16). DERIVED (arithmetic) at ETH $2,416.88 (CoinGecko 22 October 2026): at the median, 131,072 x 4,583,621 wei = $0.00145 per 128 KiB blob = $0.0116/MiB raw, $0.0120/MiB on the 126,976 usable bytes; window min $0.0048/MiB, max $0.0355/MiB.

Changes to published ranks are recorded in a ledger; every step and its cause is listed on the rank-history page. The entries below begin with the current verified snapshot, then the methodology versions whose changes applied to this category, newest first.

- 10 October 2026
2026.10.8When nothing serves your country, the list shown for reference is the published ranking · platform-wide- fixed The reference list shown when nothing serves your country is the published order with the published scores, and a build check now fails any such list out of that order or with a score the ranking does not publish.
- fixed The explorer prints an overall rank only for a row the published ranking holds; a country entrant such as Coinbase Commerce for US merchants shows no overall rank.
- changed Published orders do not move. Country results change only where nothing serves the country: in India bill pay keeps Bitcoin Well first and now shows Strike second, as published; 35 such runs across all categories and countries now match the published list exactly.
- 10 October 2026
2026.10.6A criterion you require re-scores the rows that meet it · platform-wide- changed The explorer sends each criterion you require, at any band, as fit_required with your other answers; region, licence, chain and fact filters stay filters. On /best, a required criterion joins For you as a marked preference does, which needs your country; Overall stays the published ranking, filtered.
- added Every published criterion has a golden case as the explorer sends it (require:<criterion>), so the order a requirement gives is replayed and gated as the published order is, and a change to it needs an entry here.

2026.09.15Dimension scores carry tenths, and eleven more categories are re-read from primary sources · platform-wide- changed Dimension scores resolve to tenths of a point (O-04b), and weightedTotal is rounded to six decimal places before the order is read. 518 published scores move across 107 categories that were not re-read; none of them moves by more than 4 points, and most move by 1.
- fixed 66 published scores change in the eleven re-read categories, against a verbatim source each. The largest moves are Reflexer RAI (−16), Beefy and Unrekt (−11), Aztec (−10) and Golem (+9) — all of them rows whose sources had moved since their last read.
- changed Published order moves in 38 of 119 categories and three #1s change: smart_contract_audits (Zellic → Certora) and travel_rule_compliance (Sumsub Travel Rule → CodeVASP) on the finer resolution, kyc_compliance (Veriff → Sumsub) on the re-read.
- added availabilitySource (O-04g): for a reader who states a country, a row whose availability in that country rests on a region tag its record gives no source for sorts below every sourced row. It is inert in every order published here, which states no country.
