The 1.5.5 release includes a mitigation to an issue with gas estimation observed in 1.5.4 after the Espresso hardfork.
You will want to upgrade to this version if you are running an RPC node that is serving eth_estimateGas
queries. This included most nodes that support transaction submission.
Note that 1.5.4 also included a change to address an issue with gas estimation. The issue being addressed here exists in 1.5.4 and is
currently unknown.
Changes
- Add a gas inflation rate flag (#1865)
Adds therpc.gasinflationrate
flag which specifies a multiplier to be applied to responses toeth_estimateGas
. Default value is set to 1.3 to cover any minor underestimates.
