Ethereum: Gas Fees Too High? Tips for cheaper transactions

 The most used network in the cryptocurrency industry is Ethereum. However, using it can be pricey. You must pay fees, or "gas fees," in order to send transactions using a virtual wallet. The costs vary according to the network's load.


Under heavy loads, they have reached prices of $6,000 per transaction. Gwei is used for the settlement of Ethereum Gas Fees. Look at our Academy if you want to learn more about it.


The following three tips will help you avoid paying expensive Ethereum Gas Fees and save lots of money.



1) Decide on a pace.

There are numerous ways to save money for users of MetaMask, the most widely used Ethereum wallet. The speed of a transaction can be set in three different ways: Slow, Average, and Fast. The price decreases as the speed increases.


2) Hand-set the fees.

If you really want to cut costs, find out what the current lowest allowed value for Slow is on the Ethergasstation website. In MetaMask for Slow, this can be manually configured. If you go below this threshold, the network won't accept your transaction.


3. For Ethereum, employ Gashawk.

The Service Gashawk is one last ruse. It just went live and promises to further reduce transaction costs by 20–30%. The use is free. You can link the service to your MetaMask wallet. When transaction fees are exceptionally low, Gashawk always forwards transactions automatically.


Critics have issues with Ethereum's fees.

The network's fundamental shortcomings are always attributed to Ethereum's fee structure. The numerous smart contracts and, more recently, the hype surrounding NFTs are the causes of the occasionally astronomical fees. The volume of transactions that results in increases the cost of fees.


As a result of the bear market, the network's activity has drastically decreased since its peak in 2021, which has resulted in a significant decrease in costs. The Ethereum Foundation is also developing a number of updates that should speed up the network and significantly lower costs. These, however, are still quite far off.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future.

The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
