GateChain v1.1.6 has now been released. All nodes should be upgraded to this new version before August 26, 2024. With the new release, a new fee mechanism, already adopted in EIP1559 on Ethereum, will come into effect on GateChain, as part of our continuous effort to improve GateChain network efficiency and add deflationary pressure to the GT tokens.
GateChain New Network Fee Mechanism
In the new network transaction fee mechanism, GateChain fee consists of two parts: a basefee and a tip. The basefee is dynamically changed in line with the block size and is burned and removed from the token supply; the tip is rewarded to validators and delegators to encourage them to participate in the consensus process.
Benefits of New Network Fee Mechanism
Lower transaction cost: As the tip (priority fee) could be customized by the users, the total fee becomes more predictable, which gives the users more transparency and control over the tip they should pay in different network conditions and thus avoid unnecessarily high transaction fees.
Enhance GT rarity: As the GT used to pay basefee will be burned and removed from the circulating GT supply, it will add deflationary pressure to GT token. With this added source of GT burn, GT tends to become more valuable in the long run, based on supply and demand law.
