I am not surprised to see that things are changing in the BSC network. When i knew about the BSC network 2 years ago the fees was very affordable, i think it was the cheapest at that time. And so many knew projects where pushing into the BSC network. The highest amount you can spend on fees then was about 0.1$ to $0.2. If you are using a decentralized exchange line pancakeswap in swapping any token to BNB $0.01 fees was an approval fee then. But now its all different. I tried using the exchange yesterday to covert my USDT to BNB coin the approval fee was about $1. Talk more of transaction fees.
To cut the story shorts, BSC network is not affordable like it used to be.
