Two of the major ones are EIP-2565 and EIP-2718\u2014the former helps reduce some gas costs algorithmically; the latter a \u2018wrapper\u2019 that allows multiple transactions on the blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/gas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 requires preliminary knowledge of how Ethereum works. The network is maintained and all transactions are processed by \u2018miners,\u2019 or entities with massive computing power at their disposal who solve millions of complex mathematical problems each second to \u2018mine\u2019 blocks and win ETH \u2018rewards.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These miners use up a lot of resources in maintaining the network, meaning they are economically incentivized to do things that, ultimately, lead to more revenues for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where Gas starts to creep in. On paper, it\u2019s simply a small ETH amount included by users conduct a transaction or execute a contract on the Ethereum blockchain platform. Miners pocket these fees, and prefer to include blocks or process transactions which brings them the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Welcome to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Berlin?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Berlin<\/a>! ??<\/p>\n<p>Our first block mined after the fork: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/y7XMyswKl2\">https:\/\/t.co\/y7XMyswKl2<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gIwdeNoR8f\">https:\/\/t.co\/gIwdeNoR8f<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; f2pool (@f2pool_official) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/f2pool_official\/status\/1382638586059706368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in bull markets, token pumps, and jaw-dropping yield farms, the inclusion of transactions into blocks becomes a numbers game. \u2018Wealthy\u2019 users can include bigger amounts of Gas as fees, which in turn ends up making the whole network more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s where the EIP-2565 and EIP-2718, i.e. today\u2019s Berlin upgrade, step in.
