Ethereum, which is trading at $ 2,772, an increase of 2.36% from the previous day, underwent a major change on Thursday due to the ‘London hard fork’ update.
The ‘London hard fork’ is a set of five Ethereum Improvement Protocol proposals. According to MoneyControl, a hard fork essentially means an unchangeable permanent modification on the blockchain. Post this enhancement, the blockchain community’s protocol will algorithmically and automatically determine the transaction fee, depending on the ongoing demand-supply trends.
