They also shared the following message: “#EIP1559 is the most talked about piece of the London upgrade and rightfully so. This proposal will alter Ethereum’s fee market so that ETH spent on minimum transaction fees will get removed from circulation instead of being awarded to miners.”

#EIP3529 is titled ‘A Reduction In Refunds’. The proposal was motivated by the increasing misuse of gas tokens on Ethereum bloating the network’s state size. Furthermore, the EIP aims to reduce current block size variance.
