Vitalik Buterin Addresses Ethereum’s Gas Challenges with “Multidimensional” Fee Structure

While it is firmly positioned as the top blockchain, this network has yet to be able overcome its curse, which are the high gas prices.

As Ethereum continues to work towards its proof of-stake transition process, many are eager to see the end to the global gas crisis. Ethereum did implement EIP-1559, however, it didn’t deliver.

Buterin Proposes a Multidimensional EEIP-1559

On the original EIP-1559 implemented on the Ethereum network, all the resources are bundled into a “single multidimensional resource.” However, because different resources have different requirements, Ethereum gas fees are usually sub-optimal.

Because some resources are more powerful than others, this is why it happens. This would mean that these resources are likely to attract more gas fees. But, since they are all in one package, these resources often end up paying exorbitant gas charges.

To solve this problem, Ethereum’s co-founder – Vitalik Buterin – has proposed an improvement to the network’s current pricing structure, a “Multidimensional EIP-1559.”

Buterin suggests two possible solutions to the network. Buterin proposes calculating each resource’s gas cost separately. This is the first option. The base fee per unit would then be divided by the base gas fees.

A second alternative would see a fee set for the use of resources. But, instead of being fixed at the source in the first approach, gas burst limits (high demand) would be added to each resource. Also, priority fees will be determined by a percentage rather than being fixed.

To The Flipside

  • There have been concerns about implementing the multidimensional fee structure on Ethereum, as it is a “significant engineering undertaking.”

As Ethereum prepares to transition into PoS, fixing the gas fee issue on Ethereum would mark a significant milestone.
