EIP-1559 Burn Rate

Definition

The EIP-1559 burn rate quantifies the amount of Ether (ETH) that is permanently removed from circulation with each processed transaction under Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559. This mechanism adjusts the base fee for transactions, burning a portion of it rather than allocating it entirely to miners. The burn rate is a key factor influencing Ether’s supply dynamics.
