The Zcash development team has proposed a Dynamic Fee Scheme aimed at addressing skyrocketing fees during network congestion.

2 days ago

On December 9, the Zcash development team put forward a dynamic fee scheme to address skyrocketing transaction fees during network congestion—an issue stemming from the network’s fixed rate model. The new proposal, released by Shielded Labs, recommends using the median fee from the past 50 blocks as the base fee, with logarithmic scaling applied in powers of 10. It also introduces a 10x fee priority lane during congestion to prevent users from being priced out of the network. The scheme will roll out in phases and could ultimately be implemented as a simple consensus change, avoiding the need for a complex design like Ethereum’s EIP-1559. (CoinDesk)
