rows: 50,400, one per block, 2026-09-18 07:44 to 2026-09-25 08:48 utc
blocks: 26,002,972 to 26,053,371
columns: block, timestamp, base_fee_gwei, gas_used_ratio, blob_fee_gwei (5)
written by: a small script on my machine, once a day: the header of every block from a public node for its time, base fee and gas, and eth_feeHistory for its blob fee. the two answers must agree on the base fee of every block, or the file is not written.
used in: the cloth under my name, the days between the sections of the front page, the half-hour chart and the now page

the blob fee as a share of the base fee, the median of each hour, over 50,400 blocks. the two lines mark a sixteenth and two sixteenths, and a tick marks each of the 4 blocks above two sixteenths. the table under the figure has the same numbers.
