ETH Consumption Rate Drops to Lowest Level as Gas Fees Remain at 2Gwei

Daily quantity Ethereum

The amount of cryptocurrency burned on the Ethereum network has fallen to its lowest level this year, and the base fee is hovering between 1 and 2 gwei at the time of writing.

The decline in base gas fees is one of the lowest observed in recent years, which has consequently impacted ETH issuance.

On Saturday, only 210 ETH was burned, a record low for the year, while gas fees remained minimal. On the other hand, on August 5, the daily burn surged to 5,000 ETH, as gas fees reached around 100 gwei.

With such low gas fees, the inflation rate on the network has increased. According to data from The Block, 210 ETH has been burned, while net ETH emissions have been reported to be over 2,000 ETH.

Given this inflationary trend, Gnosis founder Martin Köppelmann has proposed a temporary increase in the gas limit. “The base fee is ~0.8 GWEI, the lowest it has been in years. It would take 23.9 to offset the staking rewards. I think Ethereum needs to increase L1 activity again, and raising the gas limit could be part of the strategy, even if it sounds counterintuitive at such a low rate,” he said.

The London Hard Fork (also known as EIP-1559) implemented in August 2021 introduced a burnt base fee and a priority fee that acts as a tip to validators. The base fee is directly correlated to network activity, so the higher the fee, the more ETH is burned, reducing the supply.

The decrease in gas fees is due to the increased user migration to Layer 2 scaling solutions and the introduction of blob transactions in the March Dencun upgrade, which helped reduce the costs of the Layer 2 network.

According to The Block’s pricing page, ETH is trading at $2,540, up about 10% so far this year and giving it a market cap of $305 billion.
