Members of the Ethereum community propose a new fee structure for the application layer

On April 28th, Ethereum community members Kevin Owocki and Devansh Mehta proposed a dynamic fee structure for the Ethereum application layer on April 27th to strike a balance between revenue generation for application developers and fairness in fee extraction. The scheme uses a square root function to calculate the fee ratio. A higher percentage is charged when the fund pool size is small, and the fee cap is 1% when it exceeds $10 million to support application developers and encourage project growth. Owocki and Mehta's proposal to balance revenue and profitability for Ethereum application developers reflects a growing call to reform the fee structure and value accumulation mechanism to maintain the economic viability of Ethereum relative to competing networks.
