Abstract
This EIP assigns a reserve price BLOB_BASE_COST * base_fee_per_gas to blobs by introducing an if-clause in calc_excess_blob_gas(). Specifically, when the reserve price is higher than GAS_PER_BLOB * base_fee_per_blob_gas, the function will not subtract target_blob_gas from excess_blob_gas, causing excess_blob_gas to increase according to blob_gas_used, while keeping the per-block maximum increase…
