Над два милиони Ethereum изгорени од имплементацијата на EIP-1559

Network data shows that Ethereum has burnt over 2 million ETH, worth about $5.7 billion, since the introduction of EIP-1559. The burning mechanism was introduced as a part of the London hard fork in August 2021.

Data from Watch the Burn shows that над 2 милиони ЕТХ — worth about $5.7 billion — has been burned since Ethereum implemented EIP-1559. The latter is a real-time burn mechanism that arrived with the London hard fork in August 2021.

Burning Ethereum to balance gas fees

на механизам за изгореници was incorporated to help stabilize high такси за бензин that the network is known to suffer from. Additionally, it would help fight инфлацијата that is associated with miner rewards. The implementation saw 1.9 million coins permanently removed from the circulating supply, with additional burnings of 100,000 taking place in just a few weeks.

In addition to the 500% growth in burned ETH, much has happened in the Ethereum network since the London hard fork. Most notably, спојувањето was successfully integrated into the Kiln testnet, bringing the beacon chain to the latter. More testnet integrations will arrive for the merge, before it hits the mainnet sometime later this year.

The Ethereum Foundation asked stakeholders to perform tests on Kiln to ensure a smooth transition. The milestone was a large one for Ethereum, and is the start of a major stretch of integrations. There is also more on the horizon, which bodes well for the network.

Vitalik talks about Danksharding in EIP-4844

Recently, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin spoke of EIP-4844, breaking down the technical information in a FAQ. The new improvement proposal would introduce a feature called Danksharding, a new sharding design “which introduces some significant simplifications compared to previous designs.”
