According to Cointelegraph, Edward Felten, co-founder of Offchain Labs, stated in his keynote speech at EthCC 2026 that Ethereum's layer two networks need to introduce a "dynamic pricing" mechanism to support billions of users and reduce fee fluctuations during network congestion.

Felten pointed out that the current drastic fluctuations in Gas prices remain the main means of resisting network overload, but this volatility poses a significant barrier to mainstream users. He stated that a dynamic pricing mechanism could accommodate more transaction volume at lower Gas prices while avoiding infrastructure overload.

In response, developer Julian Kors noted that the main drawback of dynamic pricing is its predictability, which is lower than that of EIP-1559. Cyprien Grau, head of the Status Network project, believes that while this model improves fee accuracy, it still does not address structural issues— as competition for scaling intensifies, layer two network Gas fees trend towards zero in the long term, and dynamic pricing is essentially still an income model built on continuously depreciating assets.
