Abstract

The emergence of new media has a considerable impact on religion, including religious authorities’ dissemination of religious information and fatwas. This article explored on how exposure to new media affects the dissemination of religious information. Specifically, this article aimed to analyze the dissemination of the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) fatwa on Instagram. The article is a normative legal study of contemporary Islamic laws. Data has been collected by observing posts by the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) on Instagram from 2017 to 2023. The data was analyzed using content analysis methods with a socio-legal approach. This approach highlighted how fatwas work as legal norms disseminated, accepted, and interpreted by society on social media. This study found that from 2017 to 2023, there were 1093 content posted on the official Instagram account of the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI). However, of all the content, only 9.6% (105 posts) were related to fatwa. This study also found that the posted of fatwa content tends to be response-based rather than indeed programmed in a conceptualized and patterned way to build Islamic law literacy in the community. Based on these findings, it concluded that Instagram has yet to be used as a tool to build public fatwa literacy and a medium for disseminating Islamic law issued by the Indonesian Ulama Council has. The findings have significance as an academic reference for the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) and religious authority institutions in Indonesia in designing religious fatwa dissemination policies in response to the exposure of new media.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between gas prices and transaction values on the Ethereum blockchain, providing a detailed analysis of transaction dynamics and the factors influencing gas price determination. The correlation coefficient between gas prices and transaction values is -0.0273, indicating a very weak and negative relationship. Instead, gas prices are driven by factors such as computational intensity, network congestion, and user prioritization. Functions with higher computational demands, such as mint, recorded the highest mean gas price of 120.45 Gwei, with a standard deviation of 15.30 Gwei, while functions like approve and transfer exhibited mean gas prices of 98.30 Gwei and 110.80 Gwei, respectively. Recipient address analysis reveals a strong concentration of transaction values, with the top recipient address receiving 49.95 ETH consistently, indicating high-value operations directed toward specific accounts. High-gas transactions, defined as those above the 90th percentile, displayed a mean gas price of 191.96 Gwei with minimal variability, while their corresponding transaction values varied widely, with a mean of 23.91 ETH and a standard deviation of 13.66 ETH. These findings provide critical insights into Ethereum transaction behavior, emphasizing the role of function type and user prioritization in shaping gas price decisions. Future research should investigate the impact of network upgrades such as EIP-1559, the adoption of Layer-2 scaling solutions, and temporal trends in transaction behavior to enhance network scalability and cost efficiency as Ethereum continues to evolve.
