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 $100 in ETH for just claiming my tokens from the bounty that took me a year of waiting. Would love for you to share your experiences as well! Thanks!
I once had some LP tokens for a trading pair that i created on Uniswap locked on a farm. Somehow the developers of that farm made a mistake or something and everyone had to unstake from the old farm and then restake them at the new farm. During that time the eth fees were extremely high and i spent like 80$ per transaction there and i needed like 2 or 3 of them. So i spent like 240$ on fees in a few minutes, which is a crazy number to me as i am only a small investor. Nowadays i still have some erc 20 tokens but i wait until the fees go below 50 gwei or something before i bridge them over to BSC or Polygon even though i am not a big fan of binance.
