Hello developers,

Bittorrent-Chain (BTTC) will increase the minimum gas price on Donau Testnet (ChainID1029) on December 23, 2022 (Singapore time), from 300k Gwei to 9M Gwei, to prevent large amount of spam transactions that clog up the network, and improve the security and reliability of the BTTC network.

Please evaluate whether you need to adjust the gasprice parameter of smart contract transactions to prevent transaction failure because of lower gasprice value.

About the detailed information, please refer to:

> [@\[Proposal\]Increase network minimum gas fee](https://forum.bt.io/t/proposal-increase-network-minimum-gas-fee/82):
>
> Status: Draft Abstract In this proposal, we propose that all validators of the BTTC network increase the minimum gas price to ‘9M Gwei’ in order to curb spam transactions and improve the overall health of the network. Motivation BTTC has grown significantly over the past several months, growing to almost 6.3m unique addresses interacting on its blockchain since its launch in December 2021. With a rapid rise in adoption and usage, the network is increasingly susceptible to spam transactions …

Thank you!
