An example of signing an EIP-1559 transaction with web3-eth-accounts

import Web3 from 'web3';

const web3 = new Web3(Web3.givenProvider || 'http://localhost:8545');

const txObject = {
    to: '0x...',
    value: web3.utils.toHex(web3.utils.toWei('0.1', 'ether')),
    gas: web3.utils.toHex(21000),
    maxFeePerGas: web3.utils.toHex(web3.utils.toWei('1.5', 'gwei')),
    maxPriorityFeePerGas: web3.utils.toHex(web3.utils.toWei('.5', 'gwei'))
 };

 web3.eth.accounts.signTransaction(txObject, privateKey, (err, signed) => {...});

@spacesailor24 Shouldn't we also add support for the eth_feeHistory call?

Yes, you're correct. This slipped through, I'll work on getting this added today

Thank you!

@corymsmith v1.5.0-rc.1 has been released, and contains getFeeHistory method within the web3-eth package

Replicating the steps mentioned in previous releases

As part of the RC process, am doing some test installations in other projects and running their tests to see if everything.

• installs properly
• builds
• tests pass

(This list will be actively edited)

Project	Desc	Status
oz-test-helpers	Test utils. Subset of their suite is web3 contracts	✔️
synthetix	~1000 units	x

Running synthetix with rc 1.5.0 gives us 6 errors.

https://github.com/Synthetixio/synthetix/tree/v2.45.0
Synthetix version 2.45.0 there already exists 5 failing testcases which can be found here. https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/Synthetixio/synthetix/7056/workflows/dbe8bb5b-1634-49f9-b188-6361d3e1814f/jobs/64364

Failing Synthetix tests appear to be unrelated to web3.js, moving forward with release

need to remove rc suffix
