Why is Ethereum’s gas fee split into a base fee and a tip?
The target gas usage for each block is half the gas limit, and the base fee can adjust by up to 12.5% per block.
With a base fee, wallets can calculate a reasonable fee directly based on on-chain conditions, so users don’t have to keep guessing how much to pay.
According to EIP-1559, the base fee paid for each Ethereum transaction is calculated at $ETH and is burned.
It’s best to invest only money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life.
