We all know how most of us are sick and tired of Ethereum’s exorbitant and uncontrollable gas fees these days? But I wanna hear some experience from you guys. Whenever you trade, transfer an ERC20 token, swapping it on Uniswap or minting and buying an NFT on the OpenSea, etc., can you remember what is the highest gas fee you’ve ever paid?
Let’s begin with me. Mine was like almost $100 in ETH for just claiming my tokens from the bounty that took me a year of waiting. Would love for you to share your experiences as well! Thanks!
my highest eth gas fee around $60 a few years ago . after that i never trade using ethereum anymore . more often I look for alternatives such as BNB or other coins. therefore I simply avoid NFT and metaverse projects that use ethereum only. Because the transaction per action is very high.
It happened to me. After paying some around $30-$45 for the eth gas fee, I leave it and not touch a project based on ethereum or claiming the airdrops because it was not worth paying a high fee while the token price is not too high if I sell at the market, even if I just hold for a long term. But I still buy tokens at the exchange because I do not have to pay any fee instead just pay the trading fee, which is not too high for me.
Using BNB to claim airdrops is not a big deal for me as the bnb gas fee is not too high. But still, I am worried if the gas fee can become bigger as eth in the future. So I decide not too often to claim the airdrop as I prefer to trade bnb pair usd/btc/token at the exchange.
