Apples of the Infinite Garden: A Children’s Book on EIP-7918

This children's-book style explainer uses an apple orchard analogy to present EIP-7918, an Ethereum proposal that bounds the blob base fee by execution cost. Audrey the Auctioneer raises prices by about 10% per 12-second round when more than 6 apples sell, but when prices fall to tiny fractions of a cent, demand does not rise because customers still must pay transportation costs such as a $1 bus ticket. The friends therefore decide that Audrey will stop lowering the price once the cost of the 6 apples produced each round equals the bus ticket price, so that customers always care at least somewhat about the price.
