I'm so out of the loop these days...I've written off blockchain junk almost entirely. Can someone break down what blobs are? Is this some kind of temporary place for transactions to go so they aren't charged fees individually?

EDIT: NVM, I RTFMed https://ethereum.org/en/layer-2/. I wonder what the trade-offs of layer 2 protocols are. Less secure?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I used to think it had something to do with dank memes, but I recently learned it's named after Ethereum researcher Dankrad Feist who came up with the idea.

Dank, rad and feist? What a name!

There's a security researcher who calls herself Isis Agora Lovecruft and I'm pretty sure it's not her real name. I thought it might be the same with this guy, but Dankrad seems to be an actual German name meaning something like "thanks for the advice"

A lot more centralized, in my view.
