 An `EIP-1559` tx inherits the access list feature from the `AccessListEIP2930Transaction` (type `1`) but comes with its own gas fee market mechanism. There is no `gasPrice` field in favor of two new gas related properties `maxFeePerGas` - which represents the total gas fee the tx sender is willing to pay for the tx (including the priority fee) - and the `maxPriorityFeePerGas` property - which represents the fee the sender is willing to give as some tip to the miner to prioritize a tx.
