Watch the Burn 🔥

When EIP-1559 gets deployed, ETH will be burned in every block if transactions exist. This website will show you how much ETH got burned in total and per block.

Currently it is running on Ethereum Dev Net, code named Calaveras, it is getting ready for London fork when EIP-1559 will be deployed. Regular testnets (Ropsten, Goerli, Rinkeby) coming in a few weeks, target dates here: https://github.com/ethereum/eth1.0-specs/blob/master/network-upgrades/mainnet-upgrades/london.md

Donate towards Server Costs 💰

The costs of running this experiment is pretty high since it requires a dev version of Geth to be up and running which requires lots of memory and cpu. The VM and SSD storage currently costs exactly $150/month USD. If you would like to help out with the costs, please reach out to me.

If you would like to tip, my ethereum address is mansour.eth, or my gitcoin grant.

Setup dev environment ⚙

Setting up the environment requires a geth instance cloned below and web app to run.

Setup custom geth

1. Clone geth and build docker image. Assumes /data on local system exists

   git clone https://github.com/mohamedmansour/go-ethereum.git
   git checkout burned-eth
   cd go-ethereum
   docker build -t ethereum-node .
   mkdir /data
   

2. To run Geth inside Docker, run one of the following:

   • Ropsten

      docker run -p 8556:8546 -p 8557:8545 -p 30403:30303 --name=geth-ropsten -dti -v /data:/data ethereum-node --datadir=/data/ropsten --ropsten --port=3030 --http --http.addr="0.0.0.0" --http.port=8545 --http.api="net,web3,eth,debug" --http.corsdomain="localhost"  --ws --ws.addr="0.0.0.0" --ws.port=8546 --ws.api="net,web3,eth,debug" --ws.origins="*" --maxpeers=5
     

   • Goerli

      docker run -p 8566:8546 -p 8567:8545 -p 30503:30303 --name=geth-goerli -dti -v /data:/data ethereum-node --datadir=/data/goerli --goerli --port=3030 --http --http.addr="0.0.0.0" --http.port=8545 --http.api="net,web3,eth,debug" --http.corsdomain="localhost"  --ws --ws.addr="0.0.0.0" --ws.port=8546 --ws.api="net,web3,eth,debug" --ws.origins="*" --maxpeers=5
     

   • Ropsten

      docker run -p 8576:8546 -p 8577:8545 -p 30603:30303 --name=geth-rinkeby -dti -v /data:/data ethereum-node --datadir=/data/rinkeby --rinkeby --port=3030 --http --http.addr="0.0.0.0" --http.port=8545 --http.api="net,web3,eth,debug" --http.corsdomain="localhost"  --ws --ws.addr="0.0.0.0" --ws.port=8546 --ws.api="net,web3,eth,debug" --ws.origins="*" --maxpeers=5
     

Setup web dev environment

1. Create env file:

   cp .env .env.local
   

2. Add your geth ws url to .env.local:

   REACT_APP_WEB3_URL=localhost
   

3. Install packages

   npm install
   

4. Run the web app:

   npm start
   

5. Launch the web app (ropsten):

   open http://ropsten.go.localhost:3000:
   

Some devops maintenance

Send transactions to testnet

Install web3 CLI client curl -LSs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gochain/web3/master/install.sh | sh use it to create a test account, and you can use it to send transactions.

Access geth console If you ran the ropsten docker geth, you can just do, not rm is there so it cleans the container up after closing!:

docker run --rm -ti -v /data:/data ethereum-node --datadir=/data/ropsten attach
