Editorial reading note
The checked portions are Abstract; Specification in the pinned version. The original title is Fee market change for ETH 1.0 chain.
Transaction type 0x02 separates the maximum total fee rate from the maximum priority fee rate. The base fee adjusts with the parent block's usage relative to its gas target and is burned; the sender's base and priority fees together are bounded by the maximum total fee rate. Trace one transaction's caps and actual payment alongside block conditions instead of collapsing the fee structure into one rate.
