Why No Transaction Fee Mechanism Can Truly Be Collusion-Proof

Why No Transaction Fee Mechanism Can Truly Be Collusion-Proof


This article breaks down the key incentive-compatibility notions in transaction fee mechanisms (TFMs), including UIC, MIC, SCP (global and c-SCP), and OCA-proofness. It compares their implications for miner and user behavior in blockchain systems, with special reference to Ethereum’s EIP-1559 and other proposed mechanisms. The article also highlights key impossibility results showing that no TFM can satisfy all desirable incentive properties, particularly under collusion scenarios. Whether you’re a researcher or protocol designer, this is your shortcut to understanding what’s truly achievable in decentralized fee markets.
