The fee of 500,801 gwei should have been one (500 gwei) or the other (801 gwei) but not both.<\/p>\n<p>It came to a whopping 24.94 ETH, or approximately $36,000 at the time it was made. <\/p>\n<p>Average transaction fees have skyrocketed to an all-time high of around $40 according to Bitinfocharts.com, after surging more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year.<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/etherscan.io\/gasTracker\"> Etherscan\u2019s gas tracker<\/a> is reporting an average of $23.85 for an ERC-20 transfer and $73.79 for a Uniswap swap at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>An Ethereum improvement proposal called EIP-1559 may help to alleviate some of these fee problems and developers hint that it could be rolled into the Ethereum \u2018London\u2019 upgrade scheduled for July, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>On Feb. 23, Ethereum lead developer Tim Beiko<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hackmd.io\/@timbeiko\/1559-updates\/https%3A%2F%2Fhackmd.io%2F%40timbeiko%2F1559-update-007\"> posted an update<\/a> on EIP-1559 in which he said \u201clarge state testing is 99% done.\u201d A developer call on March 5 will confirm whether the EIP will be included in the London upgrade, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The current system of gas calculations involves a bidding system for transactions where the miners naturally prioritize the highest bids, and the lower ones take much longer. EIP-1559 will modify this auction system by dynamically adjusting the fees so users will pay the lowest bid for the block. This enables automated market makers and wallets to accurately calculate fees and provide better estimations. Beiko elaborated;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnother way of looking at this is that 1559 makes the inclusion price of transactions explicit in the protocol, rather than implicit, as it is right now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The proposal will also burn gas fees which are paid in ETH and this will have a longer-term impact on Ethereum issuance and supply. Naturally, the miners have voiced disapproval at this though network co-founder Vitalik Buterin has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WuBlockchain\/status\/1364055967625740293\">commented (in Chinese)<\/a> that any opposing action they take may simply accelerate the move to PoS. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
