    We have performed the switch back to calldata. Users should observe a more stable safe head, as well as lower fees. We will switch back to blobs once the L1 congestion subsides.

    We are currently experiencing elevated fees on OP Mainnet due to high blob fees on L1. We are mitigating the issue by switching batch submission back to calldata.

    While the switch rolls out, users may experience higher fees than normal and the safe head may increase less often due to L1 congestion.
