Overviewβ
In blockchain development, Ethereum stands out as a popular platform for building decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. The web3.py library provides Python developers a convenient way to interact with the Ethereum network.
In this guide, we will walk you through the process of sending transactions with both EIP-1559 and legacy methods on Ethereum using web3.py. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of how to leverage this powerful library to initiate transactions securely and efficiently. Additionally, you'll learn the effect of the EIP-1559 update on transactions.
We will use the Sepolia Testnet of Ethereum in this guide for convenience. However, it is totally applicable to Ethereum Mainnet as well.
