pub const MIN_PROTOCOL_BASE_FEE: u64 = 7;
Expand description
The minimum tx fee below which the txpool will reject the transaction.
Configured to 7
WEI which is the lowest possible value of base fee under mainnet EIP-1559
parameters. BASE_FEE_MAX_CHANGE_DENOMINATOR
https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1559
is 8
, or 12.5%. Once the base fee has dropped to 7
WEI it cannot decrease further because
12.5% of 7 is less than 1.
Note that min base fee under different 1559 parameterizations may differ, but there’s no significant harm in leaving this setting as is.
