What Is the Concept of ‘EIP-1559’ regarding Ethereum Gas Fees?
EIP-1559 is an Ethereum improvement proposal that restructured the transaction fee mechanism. It introduced a 'base fee' that is burned (destroyed) and a 'priority fee' (tip) that goes to the validator.
This makes gas prices more predictable by adjusting the base fee based on network demand and also introduces a deflationary pressure on the currency.
