i wonder who on earth make transactions on eth this time. other than hedge fund and big players i guess no one else would love to pay $40 for a single tx. hopefully they move to l2 sooner than later so there's no need to pay a lot of money just to make an approval.
I suppose most of them it's Exchange or Big Entities, Yesterady i just seed $150 TX Value with more than $1k Transaction fee and it's coming from Exchange wallet, It's really ridiculous to use Ethereum network right now and as you said Layer-2 Or other alternative like BSC, ADA it's the best solution so far atleast untill Eth 2.0 Implemented, Well let's hope it's going to change on the the next Update.
if we say the ether network that affects it is not because the uniswap is too high, the problem is that no one has been able to beat the ETHer network even BSC was born from this ETHER network, maybe it is necessary to build a new network but not from a supporting network but stand alone, don't be like BSC as if you want beat the first parent.
