Is there a way to know how high or low Ethereum network fees are at any given time? I know they change all the time
Also heard they are lower now, but still higher than all the alternatives
use the etherscan gastracker, be sure to get the right link.
they are indeed becoming low now, due to introduction of blobs so the L2 can submit their TXs or data in general efficiently and cheaply. they were the ones that causes gas fee to be high back then, or at least one of the cause.
and yes, ETH is still kinda expensive compared to other, the only way to avoid this is using L2.
