Blob Archive

The Blocknative Blob Archive stores all blobs that enter the mempool (confirmed on-chain or not) in the Ethereum network using our global network of nodes. Given any versionedHash of an on-chain blob, the archive returns the versioned hash, commitment, proof, count of zero-bytes, count of non-zero bytes and blob data. If you only want a summary view of the blob data, the archive can return the response without the full blob data.

Full blob data

Given the versionedHash of an on-chain blob, this will return the commitment, proof, count of zero bytes, count of non-zero bytes and blob data.

Bool

When data=false, the api will NOT include the blob data

Summary of blob data

Given the versionedHash of an on-chain blob, this will return the commitment, proof, count of zero bytes, and count of non-zero bytes. Blob data will be empty.

commitment

A hash of the KZG commitment to the polynomial

proof

The KZG commitment of the blob and a KZG proof-of-evaluation

data

The blob data itself where blob data is a vector of 4096 field elements, numbers within the range:

0 <= x < 52435875175126190479447740508185965837690552500527637822603658699938581184513
