How Does EIP-1559 Affect Gas Fee Predictability?

EIP-1559 introduced a mechanism where a network-determined 'base fee' is algorithmically adjusted based on network congestion and is burned, not paid to miners. This creates a more predictable fee market.

Users also include a 'priority fee' to incentivize miners. By making the base fee transparent and predictable, it reduces the volatility and guesswork associated with setting the total gas price.
