Demand for blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum is far larger than supply,
necessitating a mechanism that selects a subset of transactions to include “on-chain” from …

To allocate transactions to blocks, cryptocurrencies use an auction-like transaction fee
mechanism (TFM). A conjecture of Roughgarden (2021) asks whether there is a TFM that is …

This article explores the extent to which network activity can explain changes in Ethereum
transaction fees. Such fees are referred to as “gas prices” within the Ethereum blockchain …

Ethereum introduced Transaction Access Lists (TALs) in 2020 to optimize gas costs during
transaction execution. In this work, we present a comprehensive analysis of TALs in …

Traditional blockchain systems, such as Ethereum, typically rely on a\emph {single volatile
cryptocurrency for transaction fees}. This leads to fluctuating transaction fee prices and limits …

This study presents a comprehensive framework for optimizing gas fees in decentralized
finance (DeFi) pools on the Ethereum blockchain, aimed at enhancing both transaction …

Abstract The integration of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and blockchain technology heralds
a transformative shift in the financial landscape, promising unparalleled transparency …

On March 13, 2024, Ethereum implemented EIP-4844, designed to enhance its role as a
data availability layer. While this upgrade reduces data posting costs for rollups, it also …

As computer systems handle transactions and make decisions about our lives, the
opaqueness of such systems means that when faults occur, the negative impacts of these …

Abstract The “EIP-1599 algorithm” is used by the Ethereum blockchain to assemble
transactions into blocks. While prior work has studied it under the assumption that bidders …
