Mat, As far as I understand you don't need "gas price" (whatever that means) to create new **EIP1559** transaction. New dynamic transaction require 3 gas-related params: *GasTipCap*, *GasFeeCap*, *Gas* tx := types.NewTx(&types.DynamicFeeTx{ ChainID: chainID, Nonce: nonce, GasTipCap: gasParams.GasTipCap, // <- We need this GasFeeCap: gasParams.GasFeeCap, // <- and also this Gas: gasParams.Gas, // <- and finally this To: to, Value: value, Data: data, }) I made a function which requests/calculates these 3 params, and this approach works great for me: Params we need (gathered in one structure for usability and consistency): type Gas1559Params struct { GasTipCap *big.Int // a.k.a. maxPriorityFeePerGas GasFeeCap *big.Int // a.k.a. maxFeePerGas Gas uint64 } And finally function, that returns these three params together: const GAS_TIP_CAP = 2_000_000_000 // Hardcoded Tip = 2Gwei, make adjustable? func GetGasParameters(ethClient *ethclient.Client, from common.Address, to *common.Address, value *big.Int, data []byte) (Gas1559Params, error) { header, err := ethClient.HeaderByNumber(context.Background(), nil) if err != nil { return Gas1559Params{}, fmt.Errorf("failed to request last block header: %s", err) } baseFee := header.BaseFee gasTipCap := big.NewInt(GAS_TIP_CAP) // Calculate the gas tip cap (e.g., 2 Gwei) gasFeeCap := new(big.Int).Add(baseFee, gasTipCap) // Calculate the max fee per gas (baseFee + gasTipCap) gasLimit, err := estimateGas(ethClient, from, to, value, data) if err != nil { return Gas1559Params{}, err } return Gas1559Params{ GasTipCap: gasTipCap, GasFeeCap: gasFeeCap, Gas: gasLimit, }, nil } func estimateGas(ethClient *ethclient.Client, from common.Address, to *common.Address, value *big.Int, data []byte) (gasLimit uint64, err error) { msg := ethereum.CallMsg{ From: from, To: to, Value: value, Data: data, } gasLimit, err = ethClient.EstimateGas(context.Background(), msg) if err != nil { return 0, fmt.Errorf("failed to estimate gas limit for given operation: %s", err) } return gasLimit, nil } I hope this helps :)
