DA Cost Analyzer
EIP-4844 blob cost analysis and data availability optimization for rollup operators.
Price: $12.99 | License: MIT | Category: Tooling | Python: >=3.10
Overview
da-cost-analyzer is a Python toolkit for analyzing and comparing data availability costs on Ethereum. It tracks blob gas prices, compares calldata vs blob posting costs, simulates compression ratios, and benchmarks costs across multiple rollups.
Built for rollup operators and researchers who need to make data-driven decisions about their DA strategy post-EIP-4844 (Dencun upgrade).
Features
- Blob gas price tracking — Monitor blob base fee trends over time with historical charts
- Calldata vs blob cost comparison — Side-by-side cost analysis for any given data payload
- Compression ratio simulation — Test how different compression algorithms affect effective cost per byte
- Multi-rollup cost comparison — Benchmark DA costs across Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, and custom rollups
- Cost projection — Forecast DA spend based on transaction volume growth scenarios
- Rich terminal output — Color-coded tables and charts directly in your terminal
Tech Stack
| Component | Technology |
|---|---|
| Core | Python 3.10+ |
| Chain Data | web3.py |
| Analysis | pandas, numpy |
| Visualization | matplotlib, rich |
| Configuration | YAML, python-dotenv |
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- An Ethereum L1 RPC endpoint (archive node recommended for historical analysis)
Install
pip install -e .
# With dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
Usage
# Analyze blob gas costs over the last 1000 blocks
da-cost analyze --rpc $L1_RPC --blocks 1000
# Compare calldata vs blob for a specific payload size
da-cost compare --bytes 128000 --rpc $L1_RPC
# Run compression simulation
da-cost compress --input sample_batch.bin --algorithms zlib,zstd,brotli
