The sentiment in the crypto market has been buzzing around the restructuring and innovation regarding gas fees, a common issue in prominent blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin proposed an overhaul to the gas model, seeking efficiency and cost savings with EIP-7706. The idea of remodeling Ethereum gas has increased after the Dencun upgrade, with base Memecoin bots rendering the upgrade ineffective as gas fees surged 2000%. However, gas has dropped to its lowest level in seven months, providing optimism on gas changes.
Meanwhile, Tron developed a gas-free stablecoin for Ethereum and Tron chains. The company’s Justin Sun has also been vocal about the development of a gas-free stablecoin transfer solution. Similarly, Celo has added Tether's USDT as a gas currency, and UniswapX offers zero gas fees on confirmed & failed swaps. Crypto platforms have also focused on gas-free trading, including PancakeSwap's integration with Zyfi, which offers gas-free DeFi trading.
Ethereum Core devs have pushed a ‘pump the gas’ initiative, seeking to raise the gas limit. Immutable's zkEVM is aiming to eliminate Web3 gaming gas fees. The push for restructuring has sparked rumors of possible new innovations in the crypto market including a proposal for 'Multidimensional Gas Pricing' in Ethereum.
The crypto mining industry has seen developments geared around sustainability and efficiency. Enegix Global is building a natural gas-powered 80 MW crypto mining center in Brazil, and Genesis Digital Assets plans to mine Bitcoin using Argentina’s stranded gas. The use of flare gas for Bitcoin mining is also indicated in news for 2024.
IBAX has announced the launch of the Gascoin (GCN) token, which is aimed at revolutionizing the future of the oil and gas industry. Lastly, Visa has been testing ways to make paying Ethereum gas fees easier, signaling mainstream crypto adoption.
