EIP-4844 has been successfully implemented on the Optimism network, resulting in a significant reduction in gas costs for Synthetix Perpetuals transactions.​ The gas fees for these transactions have dropped from around $3 to just $0.​14, a remarkable decrease.​ This development is expected to facilitate the onboarding of new users to the Ethereum ecosystem and contribute to its scalability.​ However, it appears that some users may need to adjust their bots to account for the correct gas fee of $0.​0069, which will dynamically adjust based on blob pricing changes.​ The Synthetix community is celebrating this milestone, as trading Synthetix Perpetuals on Optimism and other networks is now much more affordable, with transactions costing around $0.​06 instead of $1.​5.​

It looks like this Perps Keeper transaction overpaid. Users need to adjust their bots. The correct gas fee is $0.0069, which will dynamically adjust as blob pricing changes. Less than 1 cent to trade perps onchain.
