Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and researcher Anders Elowsson have introduced proposals to overhaul the way users pay for transactions on their network.
The plan is designed to simplify rate calculations and improve economic efficiency across the Ethereum ecosystem, focusing on a unified multidimensional toll market.
The proposal will arrive during periods when network charges are low. Over the past week, Ethereum’s median gas prices have been consistently below 1 GWEI, marking the lowest level this year.
This context emphasizes the need for a more adaptive and efficient fee structure to support future growth.
Multidimensional fee market
The proposal core is configured with a single MAX_FEE user configured when submitting the transaction. This fee applies to all network resources such as calculations, storage, CallData, and more, instead of requiring users to assign different rate limits to each.
By making MAX_FEE decryptable in these dimensions, Ethereum can “dynamically” allocate charges to resources that require the most resources to optimize capital usage.
According to the proposal:
“The rate market is further unified in terms of single rate renewal mechanisms, generalized reserve pricing, and single renewal fractions under gas normalization that stabilizes prices with each change in gas limits, while retaining current percentages.”
Currently, Ethereum runs on a separate pricing system. The EIP-1559 manages normal gas, while the EIP-4844 covers Blob gas. This proposal aims to integrate both mechanisms under the EIP-4844 framework to better control long-term resource consumption.
The multidimensional toll market design allows Ethereum to adapt to temporary demand spikes while maintaining price stability across a variety of resources.
The first step in the rollout is to apply this system to CallData. This often affects the rate of transmission. From there, additional EVM resources can be added over time using mechanisms that maintain backward compatibility.
Ultimately, this proposal simplifies the user experience and allows for more scalability in the future. It also integrates fee structures to allow for more flexible pricing and lays the foundation for more predictable and efficient network activity.
