EOS EVM Miner v1.0.1
Introduction
The latest patch release of EOS EVM Miner introduces a separate endpoint for querying CPU price and a bug fix to how the miner reads EOS EVM versions.
Read on for more details.
Bug fixes
Miner unable to read EOS EVM version correctly
It was discovered that the miner was not correctly reading the EOS EVM version, leading to issues with fees calculated for the price queue.
Other changes
Separate endpoint for querying CPU price
A new endpoint for querying CPU price has been added for testing purposes to calculate priorty fees in testnets.

EOS EVM Miner v1.0.0
Introduction
The latest release of EOS EVM Miner introduces changes to support London Hard Fork, integration with Wharfkit, and some additional minor performance enhancements.
Read on for more details.
New features
London Fork Compatibility
EIP-1559: Transaction Fee Reform
A critical component of the London Hard Fork is EIP-1559, which introduces a new transaction fee mechanism. This update changes how gas fees are handled on the EOS EVM network with new components including a base fee and priority fee combined to calculate the overall cost of a transaction based on units of gas used.
Base fee
The base fee, implemented as the base_fee_per_gas, is the minimum fee required for a transaction to be included in a block. This fee is burned in the Ethereum implementation, but is instead credited to the contract for EOS EVM. The base_fee_per_gas is now part of the block header information and is returned in both eth_getBlockByNumber and eth_getBlockByHash API calls.
Priority fee
The priority fee, implemented as the inclusion_price, is a fee historically designed so that users can pay to miners to incentivize them to prioritize their transactions over others. In EOS EVM, the priority fee does not prioritize transactions. Instead, it is a fee set by the miner to cover their costs for processing the transaction and pushing it into the network. This fee goes directly to the miner and is not burned.
The priority fee or inclusion_price can be calculated as min(max_priority_fee_per_gas, max_fee_per_gas - base_fee_per_gas).
Max fee
Users may now specify a maximum fee they are willing to pay for the sum of base and priority fees. If the max fee is higher than the sum of the base fee and the priority fee, the difference is refunded to the user. This ensures users don't overpay beyond what is necessary to get their transactions processed.
Overall transaction fee
The overall cost of a transaction fee utilizes a price per gas unit implemented as the effective_gas_price, which can be calculated as
inclusion_price + base_fee_per_gas. The overall cost of any given transaction is then calculated as the product ofeffective_gas_price * gas_used.
Fee distribution
The fees associated with transactions are now distributed to where the contract receives base_fee_per_gas*gas_used and the miner receives inclusion_price*gas_used.
Feature activation for wallet users
The flag for the EIP-1559 network support is cached, so users will have to refresh their network selection by changing the active network to another network and go back to eos-evm in order for many common wallets like Metamask to start sending EIP-1559 transactions.
Other changes
Wharfkit integration
The EOS EVM miner has been updated to utilize Wharfkit in place of eosjs for future proofing and some minor performance enhancements.
Support for requiredKeys parameter in the Transaction API
The requiredKeys parameter is now supported in the Transaction API to save an RPC to Leap call for performance enhancements.

EOS EVM Miner v0.1.1
Introduction
This latest release includes an improvement to the miner's management of the Leap RPC endpoints to ensure better overall performance.
Read on for details.
Updates
Periodically check the available Leap RPC endpoints in Miner
The miner previously rotated the Leap RPC endpoints only when get gas price failed and would not respect the priority of Leap endpoints defined in the config list effectively. A change has been made to have the Miner periodically check each configured Leap endpoint and take the first available one according to configuration order.

EOS EVM Miner v0.1.0 Release Notes
Introduction
The EOS EVM transaction miner or EOS EVM Miner is a simple transaction relay that allows users to take Ethereum formatted transactions and push them to the EOS EVM contract on an EOS Native node.
Read on for details.
Features
Transaction relay
The EOS EVM Miner allows users to accept Ethereum transactions and relay them to the EOS EVM. The EOS EVM Miner software takes the EVM transactions that it receives and converts them into EOS transactions, which it then sends to the eosio.evm contract on the native EOS Network.
Rewards
For every transaction relayed, the registered miner will receive a reward in the form of EOS tokens, the gas token of EOS EVM.
Use
Please reference our developer documentation on Transaction Miner to read more on miner account creation, resource management, registration, and rewards management.
