What is ETH6900?

ETH6900 is a decentralized transaction optimization protocol built to minimize gas expenditure on Ethereum and its scaling networks. By leveraging smart scheduling, advanced gas fee forecasting, and private relay infrastructure, ETH6900 ensures that user transactions are executed at the lowest possible gas price within a chosen timeframe.

Unlike traditional wallets or dApps that immediately broadcast transactions into the mempool—exposing users to volatile fees and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks—ETH6900 introduces a transaction layer between the user and the blockchain. Users sign their transactions as usual, but instead of sending them directly to the network, ETH6900 holds them securely and broadcasts them when network conditions are most favorable.

In simple terms:

• Without ETH6900 → users overpay gas or risk failed transactions.

• With ETH6900 → users save more, face fewer stuck transactions, and transact securely without additional complexity.

ETH6900’s ultimate mission is to make Ethereum cheaper, safer, and more accessible, while laying the groundwork for a multi-chain gas optimization layer that can integrate seamlessly into wallets, dApps, and DeFi protocols.

The Problem We Solve

Ethereum and its rollups are the backbone of decentralized finance, NFTs, and Web3 applications. But with adoption comes a persistent bottleneck: transaction fees.

• In 2024 alone, blockchains collectively earned over $6.89 billion in transaction fees, with Ethereum responsible for $2.48 billion of that total.

• Gas fees fluctuate wildly, with sudden spikes that can multiply transaction costs within seconds.

• Users, lacking time or expertise to monitor fee markets, typically overpay for speed or risk delays and failed transactions.

• MEV (front-running and sandwiching) further extracts value from users, making Ethereum trading and DeFi participation more costly than necessary.

This inefficiency has three consequences:

1. Economic waste – Billions in gas are effectively “burned” every year.

2. Exclusion – High and unpredictable fees discourage small retail users from participating.

3. Poor UX – Transactions fail, get stuck, or cost far more than expected.

ETH6900 directly addresses these pain points by:

• Pooling user demand and intelligently scheduling broadcasts.

• Using real-time gas data and fee prediction to minimize costs.

• Routing transactions through private relays to mitigate MEV risks.

Why Now (Market Context & Timing)

The launch of ETH6900 comes at a critical inflection point in Ethereum’s evolution:

• Scaling networks are live (Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, zkSync), but gas costs remain unpredictable, especially during surges.

• DeFi, NFTs, and on-chain governance continue to grow, demanding a stable transaction layer that users can trust.

• Retail and institutional adoption is hindered by the complexity of gas management—creating demand for a frictionless UX.

• MEV awareness is rising; users increasingly demand tools that protect them from hidden value extraction.

• Macro environment: With billions wasted on gas annually, cost-saving solutions have a clear market fit and defensible business model.

ETH6900 is positioned to become the default gas optimization layer for Ethereum and beyond. By offering both a retail-friendly interface and a developer-ready integration layer, ETH6900 aligns with the current wave of infrastructure-level innovation that will define the next generation of Web3 applications.
