Very high erc20 fees we have last months and when will be lower cant be sure. Still no eth 2.0. so we need to wait more,patience what else... Eth price rising so this is not surprise,
what is certain is that there have been no significant changes for high fees, but now that ethereum is on the rise, it is certain that high cost events will continue. the presence of eth 2.0 doesn't seem to be able to guarantee that there will be a decrease later if at a time like this or the increase in ethereum continues until the end of the year.
so now it's not a strange thing anymore, erc20 has long been rarely used by new project creators. The goal is clear to make it easier if you have to make payments to investors or bounty hunters, which obviously costs a lot of money.
will erc20 be abandoned later? still exist and will not happen, because they are still in demand if you see that the market capitalization is still high.
There are still many end users who can pay that fees,
lots of big holders are inside ERC they are capable of continuing the use of this chain.
With the case of new creators/developers, they learned that there are many alternatives
now and to attract more investors, they need to provide what is best in terms of fees.
They just listening to what possible investors needs and capable, this ERC high fees issue
will continue seeing that the price of ETH still moving upwards.
