Hard Fork London is the name given to the latest MAJ (update) of the Ethereum blockchain. By the time given, supporters of this MAJ said it would bring positive changes to the speed and reliability of transactions.
This MAJ had five “Ethereum Improvement Proposals” (EIP). The EIP-3554, EIP-3529, EIP-3198, EIP-3541 and EIP-1559, and it is the latter that was at the heart of the controversy. Why ? It divided the ETH user community into two distinct factions.
The first was on the side of the Ethereum Foundation, which claimed that the update were to significantly improve the user experience. The second faction, meanwhile, believe the Hard Fork London were to have a negative impact on miners' activity. According to them, their income would be revised downwards due to transaction fees.
The obervations since August are shown in this graphic:
Since the MAJ launched, higher fees have been charged during US office hours.
