What is London Hard Fork? (Easy explanation for beginners🥳)

A hard fork is, for example, replacing and upgrading your computer's hardware. As a result, old hardware is discarded and new hardware is installed. London is the name of this upgrade EIP-1559. EIP stands for Ethereum Improvement Proposal. So, let's talk about what's being improved by the London hard fork.

Recently, Ethereum's high gas fee has been mentioned a lot. EIP-1559 is an improvement plan for Ethereum proposed by Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, to solve this issue. Gas fee refers to the cost incurred when processing a transaction. Simply put, it is a reward for miners who verify the transaction in the middle when a user sends crypto coin to another user.

Before the London hard fork, gas fees were paid to miners regardless of the stability of the network in a way that users calculate themselves. However, after the London hard fork, the basic fee is set according to the stability of the network, and the fee is paid by adding a tip. Therefore, you can avoid unnecessary expenses when paying commissions. Here, the basic fee is automatically burned, and tips excluding the basic fee are compensation for miners. Miners get a lower fee for verification. However, as the value of Ethereum increases as Ethereum is burned, miners can gain added value.

There may not be a variety of changes in gas fees through this hard fork. However, it is judged that it is meaningful that there is now a standard that is measured according to the stability of the network. It was burdensome to develop as a node based on the Ethereum block chain due to the usual reckless gas fee. With these changes, it is expected that the development of various DApps using the Ethereum blockchain-based smart contract platform will become more active.
