Gas fees are the fuel Ethereum network needs to process transactions on the chain. While banks charge a transaction fee, the Ethereum network charges gas. This fee keeps the network working effectively and helps prevent unnecessary transactions. Are “gas fees” unique to Ethereum? Several blockchain networks charge a transaction fee| Sei Blog
80% to 90% of crypto developers are Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) developers. Interestingly, these developers stick with the Ethereum environment and would oppose any proposal to switch to a new execution environment. Some of it is due to technical reasons and risks. However, a more significant part of the reason| Sei
Introduction Blockchain transaction ordering is a complex, high-stakes process. Block producers don't simply list transactions in the order they appear; instead, they solve a problem similar to the knapsack problem, selecting the mix of transactions that maximizes fee revenue while staying within block size or gas limits. Once this subset| Sei Blog
