What changed? Why?
The EIP-1559 parameters documented on
network-feesandthroughput-and-limits(elasticity 6, denominator 125 on both networks) have not matched the chain since March. Reading them out of the post-Holocene block headerextraData(0x01 | denominator (u32) | elasticity (u32)), the history is:SystemConfig.eip1559Elasticity()/eip1559Denominator()/gasLimit()on L1 return the same values today (mainnet5 / 100 / 400000000, Sepolia15 / 100 / 1200000000).This PR:
network-fees.mdx(mainnet 5/100 → 4% max change per block; Sepolia 15/100 → 14%)throughput-and-limits.mdxNotes to reviewers
The "18 blocks / 36 seconds to double" example still holds for mainnet: (5-1)/100 = 4% per block and 1.04^18 ≈ 2.03, same as before.
To reproduce:
cast block 43841213 -f extraData --rpc-url https://mainnet.base.orgvscast block 43841214 …, orcast call 0x73a79Fab69143498Ed3712e519A88a918e1f4072 'eip1559Elasticity()(uint32)' --rpc-url <l1>.How has it been tested?
