Answer Ethereum upgrade is in the works…More than $10M in Ethereum has been burned since the update was launched
After impatiently waiting for the Ethereum “London” upgrade, not because it will cut fees (gas has already gone up since its launch), but because it burns them.
The EIP-1559 upgrade introduced a mechanism that burns off some of the gas fee.
This is very important for the supply and issuance economics that is currently considered inflationary for Ethereum under the approved PoW and mining consensus.
After merging with Ethereum 2.0 and switching to Proof of Stake, the Ethereum economy is likely to become more contracting.
This is because block reward issuance will be reduced, and part of the transaction fees are still burned.

More than $10 million worth of burning:
In less than 24 hours since the ‘London’ upgrade went live, around 4,120 ETH has been burned, according to Watch the program.
This equates to approximately over $11 million at the current Ethereum price of $2,770.
Using the current burn rate of 2.5 ETH per minute, the network will destroy 3600 ETH per day.
This will increase when the network is under heavy load and gas prices increase.
Although this sounds like a lot, the supply of Ethereum is still bloated.
About 2.24 million Ethereum was released during the first seven months of 2021, according to unbanked.
On an annual basis, this would equate to ETH supply inflation of 3.8 million, or 3.3%, over the year, rising from 114.1 million to 117.9 million.
Discounting daily burn rates means that inflation will drop to between 1.25% and 2.66%, according to Bankless’s report, which also stated the following:
As we can see, based on current supply and 2021 annual burn figures, there is a strong possibility that ETH will become deflationary after moving to proof of stakes.

Depending on the burn rate, Ethereum’s inflation rate may drop to -1.05%.
What about gas charges?
One side effect of the “London” upgrade is higher gas prices.
according to BitinfochartsThe average transaction fee on Ethereum has increased by 70% over the past day or two to $15.

A researcher in the Ethereum ecosystem nicknamed “trent.eth” explained that there was a lot of congestion in the network due to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), exchanges disrupting transactions during the Ethereum upgrade, miners setting gas limits, and the volatility of the Ethereum market in general.
Gas fees may stabilize after a while, but if there is pressure on the network, we may see it increase again until Ethereum turns into a provisioning mechanism, then things will change.
