I guess this is is really a big blow to eth network. Paying fees like that in the long run is very expensive. I do hope ethereum has solution to the network fee cause if not, binance smart chain and other dexes will take over the lead and slowly eth will become useless.
I ain't sure the ETH team is ready to stop the exploitation going on in the guise of gas fee as long as investors keep patronizing ETH. It is really sad that the team is yet to learn a thing or two from the newer smart contracts springing up. It saddens me too whenever I have to buy into a project just to find out it's only on an ETH pair, especially on a DApp. I just give up on the project and move on, no matter how great I think the project is. It's that bad for me.
The smaller the fee the bigger the project will be known. Take a look at BSC, they slowly pacing up and even surpassing the era of uniswap deals.
Uniswap has a throat slitting swap commission. I rather choose a project on the BSC DApp over it anytime any day. I guess that's what is giving Pancakeswap that popularity and growing its fan base.
