A _lot_ has happened on 1559 in the past few weeks. I've just finished summarizing it in the latest update: 006 out now 🔥

TL;DR below 👇🏻

hackmd.io/@timbeiko/1559…

First, the 1559 resources page is now linked right at the top 👀

Second: we found a few bugs in our large state testnet. We're in the process of fixing them and restarting the network 🐞⏳

Third: now that EIP-2718 is confirmed for Berlin, we're updating the 1559 spec to work with it. We've also drafted an EIP to add a BASE FEE opcode to 1559, which will make a bunch of smart contract use cases smoother 💅

Fourth, @VitalikButerin shared his thoughts on the DoS risks of 1559, and why they may not be as bad as they seem 🤞🏻

Fifth, @adietrichs has basically solved out transaction pool issues 🏊✅

Sixth, some more R&D simulations by @barnabemonnot and the @nethermindeth folks, looking at the transition from legacy to 1559-style transactions and potential BASE FEE manipulation 📑👀

And, last but not least, some updates on the recent pushback from miners' we've seen with regards to 1559 ⛏

And, right as I pressed Publish, @ralexstokes shared a great article about mining incentives alignment under 1559:
