How Does EIP-1559 Impact Ethereum’s Supply and Inflation Rate?

By burning the base fee, EIP-1559 introduces a significant deflationary mechanism. The net change in supply depends on the amount burned versus the amount issued as staking rewards.

In periods of high network activity, the burning can exceed issuance, leading to a net reduction in the total supply of Ether, making it deflationary.
