Better gas fee estimates for you with EIP-1559
Before the London hard fork, gas fees were calculated via an auction mechanism leading to high volatility. Sending a transaction, it was hard to predict which gas price to choose.
Gas price volatility decreased with EIP-1559
With EIP-1559, the gas calculation is more stable by adjusting the block size dynamically.
Don’t worry if that seems too complex. For you, it simply means fewer stuck transactions, and less transactions where you overpay the gas fee. The image above shows how the gas fees became more stable directly after the adoption of EIP-1559.

More successful transactions: Thanks to EIP-1559’s more accurate gas fee prediction, you will rarely have transactions stuck, like in the old days
Less overpaid transactions: Less spikes in gas prices mean no more waiting for picking the right time to send a transaction
Customizable: Simply set your transaction speed, or customize MaxFee, MaxPriorityFee and Gas in the custom settings
