On January 18, Vitalik reposted the paper "Empirical Analysis of EIP-1559: Transaction Fees, Waiting Time, and Consensus Security" jointly researched by Peking University and Duke University on EIP 1559, and said that this paper is particularly It is mentioned that EIP 1559 greatly reduces the average waiting time for transactions to be confirmed. It is understood that the research of this paper proves that EIP-1559 greatly improves the user experience by simplifying fee estimation, alleviating the price difference of paid gas within a block, and reducing user waiting time. However, EIP-1559 has little impact on gas fee volatility and general security. In addition, the study also found that when the price of Ethereum fluctuated greatly, the waiting time was significantly longer, and the study also verified that larger blocks would increase the existence of sibling blocks.
