On solo staking, local block building and blobs

Ethereum reorg data from October 2023 to October 2024 suggests solo stakers and local block builders are reorged more often than professional operators and MEV-Boost builders, which bears on whether to raise blob throughput in Pectra. The article reports that about 0.2% of blocks are reorged on average, with professional node operators such as Lido, Kiln, Figment and EtherFi below that average and solo stakers and Rocketpool operators above it. Local builders had a reorg rate of about 1.02%, roughly five times the 0.20% rate for MEV-Boost builders. The author notes that the reorg rate has trended down since the Dencun hardfork for solo stakers and MEV-Boost users, but not for local builders, and that solo stakers are the largest group among local builders.
