Jihan Wu favors Ethereum EIP-1559 update

Jihan Wu, the co-founder of Chinese mining giant Bitmain, has come forward with support for a proposal to improve the second-largest cryptocurrency by capitalization, EIP-1559. This was announced by journalist Colin Wu.

 

Vitalik worked hard to make such a good offer and miners shouldn’t mind if it gets accepted. The price of Ethereum will rise, miners will also benefit, ”the journalist quoted Wu as saying.

 

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed EIP-1559 in 2019. It involves burning part of the transaction fees and helps to reduce the volatility of the gas price.

Earlier, the third-largest Ethereum pool, F2Pool, supported EIP-1559. The operators of the largest and second-largest pools, Sparkpool and Bitfly, spoke out against.

As a reminder, in February 2021, Jihan Wu sold the BTC.com mining pool to the online lottery service provider 500.com Limited, which he received as compensation.
