Lately ETH fees have been skyrocketing and I have been paying 50 cents for a normal eth transaction and over $1 for contract functions. Used to be a few pennies at most to get your transaction confirmed quickly.
no, not go up. yesterday I sent eth from wallet 1 to another wallet the fee is still low. You might set the gas price too high so the fee is high and that also impacts the speed of the transaction. just try to set it to the default gas price. waiting a little longer is not a problem, after all, also not until 1 hour for gas prices in general.
