New post on ! A practical proposal for Multidimensional Gas Metering By: - @misilva73 - dcrapis 🔗 Highlights: - The current gas metering system in Ethereum combines transaction pricing and block limits, which can be inefficient. - A multidimensional metering scheme can increase transaction throughput by approximately 240% by allowing different types of resource usage to be measured separately. - The proposed scheme maintains the user experience and fee structure while improving resource utilization in blocks. - The new metering system introduces a variable that tracks the maximum resource used, rather than the total, to determine block validity. - Future steps involve defining which resources to track and how to measure their usage accurately to optimize the gas metering process. ELI5: This research proposes a new way to measure gas usage in Ethereum transactions by separating different types of resource usage (like computation and memory) instead of treating them all the same. This could help fit more transactions into each block without changing how users pay for them.
