EIP-1559 introduces a base fee per gas in protocol.
This value is maintained under consensus as a new field in the block header structure.
This change should be reflected in RPC methods that return block header information.
Hi,
Just curious, what’s the rationale for a separate EIP per RPC (e.g. 3044,45,46 and this one)?
Small EIPs go through the EIP process smoother as you don’t end up with contention on one piece blocking all of the others. Also, from a communication standpoint there are benefits to having each “thing” have its own number. A client may implement EIP-3044 but not implement EIP-3045 and being able to express that simply is valuable. If it was all one EIP, then you would have to say “I partially implement EIP-3044” and then go on to specify which parts you implement or which parts you don’t using words.
