 | Twitter thread (if you'd like to RT and help broadcast some ecosystem education) How quickly baseFeePerGas changes in EIP-1559 I was asked how quickly the EIP-1559 baseFeePerGas rises / falls, & didn't know of an accessible resource.. ..so I made this Hopefully this helps to estimate how quickly we stabilize depending on congestion around London (~Aug 4) At London, the baseFeePerGas (bFPG) starts at 1 nanoeth (gwei), takes ~3.3 min to ~6x Charts assume only full blocks going up, (+12.5% bFPG / block) and only less than full on the way down. This is *just* to show the max speed bFPG can rise and fall, reality may not b so smooth Let's step back to look at every other block: baseFeePerGas takes ~6.5 min to ~30x If you were looking closely, you would have seen that baseFeePerGas drops slightly faster than it rises, due to how % work #math Now every 3 blocks: it takes ~10 min to ~200x If recent gas price trends hold, we can expect the baseFee to stabilize well before this point. During long periods of successive full blocks, blockspace reverts to a "first price auction" via the priorityFeePerGas: aka "the tip" Finally, every 4 blocks. This is an edge case which may only happen rarely, but after 60 successive full blocks, baseFeePerGas spikes all the way to 1,172 nanoeth (gwei)! Note: you may have heard the term baseFee, but in this thread I used the full name: "baseFeePerGas" baseFeePerGas is not a flat fee, it works the same as gas price today: multiplied per gas for how complex your transaction is. The"multiplier" field in the gSheet can be adjusted to view different timeframes. Thanks @TimBeiko @barnabemonnot @MicahZoltu for reviewing, and @quentinc137 for prompting the question. London is projected to land Aug 4. I hope you're anticipating it as much as I am! [link] [comments] |
