While Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin explains how the long awaited network upgrade affected the chain capacity, the crypto community continues raising the high gas fees question.
The London hard fork, which included the EIP-1559 upgrade, a reductive measure set to reign in Ethereum’s supply growth, went live on August 5 and boosted the price of crypto, which rallied 73.5% during the past 30 days.
Ethereum chain capacity
According to Buterin, Ethereum post-London chain capacity has increased 9%, due to three equally contributing causes.
“Turns out the effect is evenly split between three causes: (i) ice age delay, (ii) not-always-full pre-London blocks, (iii) mathematical artefacts of EIP 1559 formula,” said Buterin in a tweet, while sharing the “fun analysis” facts.
Another fun analysis: why is post-London chain capacity ~9% higher than it was before?
