In the past two weeks, Taiko's Blob expenditure has reached 900,000 US dollars, far exceeding competitors such as Optimism
The Taiko protocol went live at the end of May, aiming to provide users with cheaper and faster transactions than the Ethereum mainnet. Since its launch, Taiko has spent up to $900,000 on Blob purchases in less than two weeks to transfer user transactions to the Ethereum network. In contrast, its competitors like Optimism spend significantly less on daily Blob costs, generally below $1,000. Introduced as part of an Ethereum upgrade in March, Blob is a new resource for L2 networks that allows for lower-cost posting of Ethereum transactions. Daniel Wang, CEO of Taiko Labs explained: "Taiko just launched its mainnet and there are many issues to resolve before it stabilizes. Currently we use more blobs than other L2s - this is a design decision rather than a bug."

AI's Next Big Winners Emerging? PIMCO Avoids U.S. Stock Giants, Makes Heavy Bets on Asian "Pick-and-Shovel" Companies
PIMCO fund manager Sharef believes that as capital expenditures in AI continue to shift towards data centers and infrastructure, Asian supply chain companies—with their lower valuations and stronger profit growth—stand to benefit more directly from the AI construction cycle compared to the highly valued and increasingly indebted US tech giants. As a result, he underweights most large US tech stocks and instead is heavily invested in "picks-and-shovels" companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and TSMC.
