Vitalik Buterin Proposes Simplified Ethereum Fee Structure

Main Idea

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and developer Anders Elowsson propose EIP-7999, a simplified fee structure to address Ethereum's transaction fee challenges and improve user experience.

Key Points

1. EIP-7999 aims to create a more user-friendly and efficient fee model for Ethereum, building on past updates like EIP-1559 and the Dencun upgrade.

2. High and unpredictable transaction fees on Ethereum have been a persistent issue, with peak fees exceeding $50 during 2017 and 2021.

3. The 2021 EIP-1559 update introduced a base fee system, and the 2024 Dencun upgrade improved scalability and reduced costs through layer-2 solutions.

4. Despite improvements, Ethereum still led in network fee revenue in 2024, generating $2.48 billion.

5. The proposal is currently under community and technical team discussion, with potential approval expected to enhance Ethereum's competitiveness.
