EIP-1559 represents the most significant improvement to the economic mechanism in Ethereum's history, restructuring transaction fees from a singular "first-price auction" into a dual-track model consisting of a Base Fee and a Priority Fee. The core logic of this proposal lies in automatically adjusting the Base Fee based on the elasticity of demand for block space and permanently burning it from the total supply.

Gate Research Daily Report: On March 2, the crypto market continued to trade in a high-volatility consolidation pattern, with BTC repeatedly fluctuating within the $66,000–$67,000 range and ETH rebounding but still in the process of trend confirmation, as overall risk appetite kept contracting. Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East heightened macro uncertainty, driving gains in oil and gold, while the Fear & Greed Index fell to 10. Structurally, clear divergence emerged among small-cap and thematic assets: SYND surged on exchange incentives and ecosystem partnership catalysts, ARC strengthened amid renewed AI narrative rotation, and CFG attracted buying interest following its listing on a Korean exchange. On the industry front, X lifted its ban on paid crypto promotions while tightening disclosure requirements, SpaceX advanced its IPO plans and disclosed holdings of 8,285 BTC, and Vitalik noted that AI is significantly accelerating Ethereum’s development process, underscoring that innovation and

Gate Research Daily Report: Amid ongoing economic uncertainty, Bitcoin remains within a downward channel. Ethereum is attempting to stabilize in the short term but has yet to achieve a decisive breakout above its key resistance zone. As risk appetite improved, FAI, SIREN, and BOBA surged more than 125%, 83%, and 58%, respectively, over the past 24 hours. Claude experienced a widespread service outage, affecting thousands of users globally. Digital asset investment products recorded $1 billion in inflows last week, ending a five-week streak of outflows totaling $4 billion. While tensions in the Middle East have heightened short-term volatility, the long-term outlook remains intact, with some traders positioning for a potential rebound.

Gate Research Daily Report: On March 4, the crypto market remained in a weak consolidation phase, with BTC and ETH trading in a narrow range after the previous pullback, while market sentiment stayed in the “extreme fear” zone. In this environment, capital has been rotating toward structural opportunities, with AI- and compute-related tokens such as PHA, AIXBT, and AKT showing relative strength, driven by narratives around confidential computing, technical rebound, and decentralized AI infrastructure. On the narrative side, AI and stablecoin infrastructure continue to draw attention. A recent study shows that 48.3% of AI decision scenarios selected Bitcoin as the preferred monetary instrument. Meanwhile, Circle launched the Nanopayments testnet, enabling ultra-small USDC payments and exploring AI agent–driven micropayment use cases. In addition, Gate introduced a TradFi trading API and adjustable leverage mechanism, further expanding its multi-asset programmatic trading infrastructure.

Aave is a leading decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol. Users can supply assets as depositors to provide market liquidity and earn ongoing passive interest, or they can enhance capital efficiency as borrowers by obtaining instant loans through over-collateralizing their digital assets—all without needing to liquidate their holdings.

Aave utilizes an "overcollateralization and liquidity pool" model, where all operations are automatically executed through on-chain smart contracts. Interest rates fluctuate in real time, and risk is dynamically managed by the liquidation system. This architecture enhances capital efficiency while minimizing the cost of trust.

Flash Loans are an innovative DeFi solution enabling users to borrow substantial funds from a protocol instantly and without collateral. Borrowers must complete their intended transactions and repay the principal plus fees within the same operation; if they fail to do so, the entire transaction is canceled.

Gate Research: Over the past week, macro uncertainty has continued to dominate market pricing. Escalating tensions in the Middle East, tariff expectations, and the ongoing AI narrative have reinforced risk-off sentiment, with capital rotating into defensive assets such as oil, gold, and the Japanese yen, putting pressure on risk assets. BTC declined sharply over the weekend amid thin liquidity conditions, while ETH underperformed BTC overall, leaving the market in a fragile post-deleveraging equilibrium. On-chain data shows event-driven spikes in DEX trading volume, while stablecoin supply has remained elevated but flat, suggesting capital is largely in a wait-and-see mode. In derivatives markets, open interest continues to decline and funding rates remain negative but stable, indicating that overall leverage in the system has been significantly reduced. Meanwhile, mid-tier protocols such as Hyperliquid and Jupiter recorded revenue growth, pointing to a modest rebound in on-chain trading activity. Overall, th

Aave and Compound are both decentralized liquidity protocols built on blockchain technology, enabling users to borrow assets with over-collateralization or earn interest by supplying liquidity. The key distinction lies in Aave’s broader range of features and risk-layered design, whereas Compound stands out for its straightforward interest rate model and modular governance framework.

Capital is rotating back into high-beta sectors such as AI, signaling a modest recovery in risk appetite. Ethereum’s staking ratio has surpassed 30%, reaching a new all-time high and pointing to ongoing supply contraction and a rebalancing of liquidity structures. Zerohash’s integration with Monad and USDC is advancing the deployment of stablecoin payment infrastructure at the L1 level. Tether’s U.S. Treasury holdings continue to expand, accelerating the integration of stablecoins into the short-term interest rate system. Overall crypto market capitalization continues to decline, indicating that the market remains in a near-term de-risking phase. Meanwhile, Anchorage has completed a strategic financing round of approximately $100 million, with participation from Tether.

The RWA sector continues to heat up, as Ondo Finance secured regulatory approval from Abu Dhabi to facilitate tokenized stock and ETF trading. The AI Agent business model is attracting interest, with stablecoins and blockchain recognized as essential infrastructure. Short-selling firm Culper Research is betting against Ethereum, warning that its post-upgrade tokenomics could trigger a "death spiral" risk.

Gate Research Institute Daily: On March 9, the crypto market remained weak and volatile, with BTC and ETH both declining as the overall market maintained a defensive posture. Among trending tokens, DEGO (+53.60%), BABY (+28.04%), and MBOX (+25.26%) recorded the highest gains among assets with market capitalizations over $10 million, with new capital primarily targeting highly elastic small- and mid-cap sectors. On the regulatory front, the enactment of Pakistan's Virtual Assets Act 2026 is advancing legal oversight; Brickken joined the UNE standards framework to support asset tokenization rulemaking; and Cardano is enhancing USDCx infrastructure to strengthen stablecoins’ core functionality in payments and RWA settlement. The industry’s main trajectory continues toward greater compliance and infrastructure maturity.

Jupiter is a decentralized exchange aggregation protocol built on the Solana network. Its primary objective is to consolidate liquidity from multiple decentralized trading platforms and provide users with more efficient asset swap routes. Through smart routing algorithms, Jupiter can identify the most favorable pricing across different liquidity pools and protocols. By dynamically selecting optimal execution paths, the protocol improves trading efficiency while reducing slippage.

PAXG (Pax Gold) is a digital asset backed by physical gold, developed by fintech company Paxos and issued as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain.
