Two members of the Ethereum community, Kevin Owocki and Devansh Mehta, suggested a dynamic fee structure for the Ethereum application layer to strike a balance between the generation of income for app builders and fairness to compensate.
April 27th proposal outlined by a simple equation that uses a square functioning proportional that lowers the percentage of the fees while funding capital allocated to a particular project is growing. Owocki and Mehta explained:
“For smaller funding amounts, the fee complies with a square root operation (SQRT (1000 xn)), which provides proportional higher return to make building mechanisms for smaller pools that are beneficial. overhead. “
Those who set the proposal added that the fees will be able to CAP at 1% Once a Pool of Participation Poor application has crossed $ 10 million levels, ensuring that small app builders can develop decentralized applications at no charge while also encouraging project growth and funding through capping fees while developers are measuring their applications.
Owocki and Mehta's proposal to balance the generation of income and profitability to Ethereum app builders reflects the growing calls to the reform fees structures and the value of accrual mechanisms to maintain Ethereum's economic ability against competing networks.

In 2024, Solana's ecosystem was riding more developers than the Ethereum network, which attracts 7,625 new developers compared to 6,456 of Ethereum.
Despite climbing software developers building the Solana network in 2024, Ethereum remains dominant ecosystems for attracting developer talent, although 2024 data shows that the position is not without study.
According to Onchain Analytics firm Santiment, Ethereum fees dropped to five -year lows in April 2025 due to low Ethereum Base Layer activity resulting from reduced demand for smart contract operations such as decentralized finances.
This reduced demand leads to many institutions that measure their ether (ETH) holders or selling parts of their investment as the investor's sentiment toward the first smart-contract platform continues to explode without clear catalysts for a reflection.
