Ethereum: Significant Update is Coming on August 5

2022-12-15 • Updated

What will happen?

On August 5, Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency under Bitcoin, will undergo a major update. The update named London includes a cryptocurrency Improvement Proposal (EIP 1559). The main goal of this update is an improvement of transaction fees. Currently, users bid an amount of money they are ready to pay for transactions. It makes procedure costs extremely high. According to the information about an update, from now on, an automated system will calculate fees by itself according to the system’s workload. It will reduce costs for Ethereum users and make this payment method more affordable. 

Another influential change under EIP-1559 is that part of every transaction fee will be burned, or removed from circulation, which will begin to reduce the supply of ether and potentially boost its price.

What does it mean for the Ethereum community?

After this update, Ethereum will become a more popular method of making transactions between users as high commissions are the main problem that makes the crypto community prefer using BTC to ETH as a payment method.

Moreover, after an update, Ethereum will be the deflationary asset as burning Ethereum fees after transactions will lead to the supply reduction.

These facts will make Ethereum a perfect haven asset, which will be extremely popular during the upcoming rise of US inflation.
