Why Should Miners Embrace EIP-1559?
summary
Argues miners should back EIP-1559 because it adds a base fee in block header that makes gas pricing predictable and includes fee burning to curb ETH inflation. Shows concrete stakes: January 2021 sees about 8,823 ETH burned or paid daily in fees—roughly 40% of miners’ rewards—so the economic impact is large. Cites operational evidence: a mining pool that quickly captured ~5% hash rate and a staking product with ~200,000 ETH staked and no downtime.
