December 29, 2021 - Around 2 mins mins to read

Only 2 days left until the end of 2021, the Ethereum network and the ETH token had a great year in which the price rose by more than 450% in 12 months. 145 days ago, on August 5th, the Ethereum network launched the London hard fork, and since then 1,291,710 ethers, valued at nearly $ 5 billion, have been burned.

Nearly $ 5 billion worth of ETH was burned

About four months ago, Ethereum upgraded London and added a number of new rules to the chain, including EIP-1559, an improved algorithm that creates a new fee rate mechanism that allows the network to partially burn ether.

“The algorithm charges a basic fee for each gas, and this basic fee is burned,” says the description of the EIP-1559.
