Why you should listen:
EIP1559 was first proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2018. It will replace the variable first-price auction model currently used to decide Ethereum transaction fees with a more deterministic base fee model. It is hoped this will remove much of the volatility and uncertainty associated with paying the Gas fees required to successfully conduct a transaction on the network. It will also introduce a fee burn model for each transaction, that may add a deflationary element to the ETH currency and increase its appeal as a safe-haven, hard asset.
Key takeaway:
EIP1559 will solve four key problems with the current gas model:
- Making transaction fees more predictable
- Reducing delays in transaction confirmation
- Improving user experience by automating the fee bidding system
- Creating a positive feedback loop between network activity and the ETH supply.
