So what are some alternatives? What platforms can UNISWAP also run on easily
with low fees?
Alternative? You are using a bitcoin alternative. Why dont you just use the former, the most accepted, bitcoin?
Bitcoin fees can be like 0.2 usd if you wait for a couple of days, or about 30usd if you want a a next block confirmation
Way better than ethereum now.
Actually normal ETH transaction are less expensive than BTC, around half of it(ETH was ~$15). since ETH transaction size are way smaller than BTC.
This huge fee that was displayed in this thread was more complicated transaction(Smart Contract).
IMO, I don't think PoS ETH will stop this fee madness(since the number of transaction/gas per block would stay the same), only a blocksize increase will fix this.
