Ethereum gas fees are the biggest expense of using the network, but the good news is they have lowered 62% since last month. In November, the average fees of transactions were $62.84, and since then, it has dropped to $23.34. It is still not very low, and for smaller transactions, Ethereum becomes obsolete due to the transaction cost. Still, it is a good thing for users who transact on the Ethereum network regularly.

All actions that one can perform on the Ethereum blockchain that is swapping, sending coins, or smart contracts, involve a cost. And the most basic one of them is that sending Ethereum from one address to another cost around $62 itself. This transaction cost is one of the reasons why Solana is becoming so popular. It has lightning-fast transaction processing speeds and very cheap costs.

But Ethereum has a lot more use cases, and in some places, it becomes a non-negotiable choice to use for transactions. So, the good part is that the fast speed fee has been reduced to $23,34 per transaction. And then, we have the median Ethereum fees that were around $34.28 in November but are $12.99 now. Data transfer fees have also dropped as the transaction fees for Ethereum is around $6.78, and to move it is $15.49.

If one has to spend so much just to transact using Ethereum, it doesn’t make sense. Using layer 2 protocols, this cost can be mitigated. For example, Loopring on Ethereum costs $0.16 per transaction. This is one of the lowest cost, and after this, we have other tokens like Polygon Hermez and Arbitrum One, transactions using which will still be less than $3-$4. Layer 2 protocols are generally more advanced and add a lot of modifications to the network, which makes them more usable.


Bitcoin’s transaction fees have also dropped quite significantly in the last few months. Its current average is between $1.5-$5, which is around 95% less than April 2021 and definitely much lower than Ethereum.
