I just checked the Gas fee at Etherscan, now you only need to pay $ 1 for the transaction to be confirmed. It has fallen many times over the previous days, and hopefully in the future it will continue to decrease. And I have the same mindset as you, it is the Defi projects that get ETH congested and have a huge high gas fee.
I also hope the gas will go down because I can't do any transactions when the gas is very high. gas is down, ethereum prices have also decreased, is the Defi trend over?
The traffic is still very high and I can't expect the gas will be going down as soon as possible. In fact, the swap service has been contributing a lot in the rise of transaction fees on ethereum network. This will be stopped when the bullish trend will also stop to continue
