I would like to understand how EIP-4844 would affect miner reward. In EIP-1559 base fee per gas and max fee per gas have been introduced, and base fee is burned, while actual fee - base fee goes to the miner (or validator is better term since the merge).

EIP-4844 introduces max_fee_per_blob_gas and consecutively blob base fee. There will be separate blob gas market, and blobs will be stored in consensus layer. This writing says that blob fees will co-exist with EIP-1559 max_fee_per_gas and max_priority_fee_per_gas. Then how miner's reward will be calculated for EIP-4844 transaction? I assume blob gas logic will be the same as regular gas logic - base fee is burned, everything above it goes to the miner. Will there be regular gas price and blob gas price? See actual transaction would help immensely - anybody is aware of one?

I'll use this transaction as an example for demonstrating my understanding of this upgrade.

According to eip-4844,the blob data fee would be deducted from the sender balance before transaction execution and burned. enter image description here

The balance change for the sender in the tx is 0.004271970890799872. enter image description here The value sent is 0 and the fee paid by sender is 0.000702320486112. So in that case, the blob fee here is 0.004271970890799872 - 0.000702320486112 = 0.003569650404687872

I used the code in the eip and get the same result here. enter image description here

For block producer reward, according to the explorer balance change, enter image description here enter image description here

The max_priority_fee here is 1e-09 so in that case, it only includes max_priority_fee reward not blob fee(same as eip-1559).
