Péter Szilágyi, an Ethereum (ETH) developer, has lauded EIP-1559 and its ETH burning mechanism as “the great equalizer.” Taking to X on January 16, Szilágyi admired EIP-1559’s ability to “level the playing field between validators and regular users.”
Developer: EIP-1559 Is A “Great Equalizer”
Since the implementation of EIP-1559, Ethereum adjusted how users bid gas fees, introducing the “base fee,” which was burned or sent to an irretrievable wallet. So far, data from Ultrasound Money shows that over 3.9 million ETH have been destroyed.
In the last week alone, the Ethereum network automatically sent more than 21,100 ETH out of circulation, “burning” ETH’s supply.
Specifically, Szilágyi mentioned the advantage regular users have with EIP-1559. Through this implementation, validators (previously miners before Ethereum shifted to a proof-of-stake blockchain) no longer have the privilege of arbitrarily adjusting gas limits and transaction fees.
