How Is the Base Fee Rate Adjusted over Time?

The base fee is adjusted algorithmically based on the network's block utilization (how full the previous block was). If the previous block was more than 50% full, the base fee increases; if it was less than 50% full, the base fee decreases.

This mechanism aims to keep block utilization around 50% to manage congestion dynamically and automatically.
