What Is the Typical Size of an Ethereum Block in Bytes?

The typical size of an Ethereum block in bytes is variable due to the elastic block size under EIP-1559. A block targeting 50% utilization (around 15 million gas) might be around 60-100 kilobytes.

However, during periods of high demand, blocks can temporarily reach 100% utilization (30 million gas), making them significantly larger.
