Cover Story: Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization. It has a flourishing ecosystem and its blockchain allows for smart contracts. Transaction fees, which are referred to as “gas prices”, are of fundamental importance to this blockchain and its users. This research builds and estimates a bootstrapped quantile regression model to examine whether blockchain activity, such as the number of transactions and smart contracts, can explain changes in Ethereum gas prices. The empirical approach allows us to see relationships across the full distribution of gas price changes. This is essential given that Ethereum has undergone fundamental economic and technological regime changes, such as the recent implementation of the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1559. View this paper
