The base fee changes proportionally to block fullness: when blocks are full, it rises; when empty, it falls. Every transaction pays the base fee, which is destroyed. Users can add a priority fee to speed inclusion.
The base fee improves fee predictability and burns Ethereum supply. It reduces the importance of fee auctions and MEV. Understanding it helps users estimate transaction costs.
