Ethereum blobspace still reads as a short watch, not a jam
Layer-two windows stayed short overnight. Blob fees did not jam the air, and the rack treated it as a quiet watch.

Ethereum blobspace overnight still read as a short watch. The layer-two windows did not jam. Fees on the blob market sat in a band you can file without raising the mast alarm.
This is not a victory lap. It is a frequency note. When blobspace is cheap and the windows stay short, the desk writes it as airtime that stayed open. When it jams, the desk writes that too.
How the rack files it
The overnight sample did not show a pile-up. Throughput on the usual rollups stayed inside the watch. That is the whole story: the air was usable, and nobody had to shout over it.
If tomorrow’s window stretches, this mast will change the band. Until then the file stays on the short watch.
