Do you think there should be a better solution for gas fees on Ethereum, from the users' perspective? Could EIP 1559 become part of that solution? If you’re not sure what EIP1559 is, check out the article and share your thoughts in the comments.

(TLDR: It’s a proposed update to the way gas prices work on Ethereum, introducing a burnt base fee plus tipping to miners.)

Gas fees can be a very confusing and frustrating aspect of using the Ethereum blockchain. Remembering to have enough ETH for gas and calculating appropriate gas limit and price for the transaction under current network conditions can be a hassle.

We believe that improvements to the UI – such as automatic gas calculation and a clear display of the total gas fee – make Ethereum transactions more intuitive.

Even better? Coming up with a new solution for improved gas estimation on multiple transactions and implementing it with our partners.

See Github PR by MEW CEO Kosala Hemachandra for details:

Lately, high demand for DeFi has given Ethereum a big boost, but does this growth mean that Ethereum is ultimately superior to Bitcoin? Should blockchains be compared that way? Or can the entire crypto ecosystem win through greater adoption, regardless of where it’s coming from?

Check out MEW founder and CEO Kosala Hemachandra comments on the issue in this Forbes piece and see if you agree!
