Why is there such a huge difference between provider.gasPrice and provider.maxFeePerGas?
EthereumWhen I call gasPrice and maxFeePerGas I am getting:
var rates = await provider.getFeeData();
ethers.utils.formatUnits(rates.gasPrice, 9); //=15.3399
ethers.utils.formatUnits(rates.maxFeePerGas, 9); //= 30.1798
ethers.utils.formatUnits(rates.maxPriorityFeePerGas, 9); //=1.5
But according to Gas Tracker ( [https://etherscan.io/gastracker](https://etherscan.io/gastracker) ) I should be getting:
Low: 14 gwei
Medium: 15 gwei
High: 15 gwei
According to the Internet, `gasPrice` is a legacy method and overestimates the gas price. But as you can see above, it seems it produces a gas price that is closest to Gas Tracker.
If in my code I used `maxFeePerGas` then wouldn't I be overpaying for gas?
