Will competitors defeat ETH due to ever-increasing gas fees?

[Argoo]

Kadena blockchain has no transaction fee, yea you heard me right and this is why I believe that this project will be the most talk about pretty soon, no other projects will be like Ethereum that's for sure but many will solve problems that can't be solved on ETH blockchain, still this doesn't mean they are better than ETH

It seems that it is impossible to create the perfect cryptocurrency, although it should be striving for it. If a particular coin has free transactions, then it is losing somewhere else.
Ethereum has been around for a long time and has a strong team and community that supports it. Yes, with a long-term update, ethereum loses a little and weakens its position, but if the update is successful, then this coin will not only restore them, but also significantly increase both its popularity and price. Better to wait and see.

Even to see that ETH gas fee is too high compared to other platforms but still, we can see the huge volume of ETH traders and investors, the demand is stabled high, ain't changing as we first think it happens. That has to say that it won't give the chance for others to defeat ETH and probably the reason why is that the platform used by many projects is still in the market running well. In fact, it has been more than a year with this high fee and we've not seen such tremendous changes in which we can see defeat.

transaction fees on the ethereum network become very expensive because of the large number of users who use the ethereum network, This large transaction fee shows that the ethereum network is the most congested network and has the most users. This fact shows that even though the ethereum network has very large transaction fees until now there is still no competitor that can beat ethereum.

No doubt that many projects switch to BSC, Polygon or other, expensive transaction fees will not attract users and leave is better, examples are: RMP: https://medium.com/rampdefi/ramp-integrates-with-binance-smart-chain-liquidity-pools-launched-on-pancakeswap-and-julswap-f573fc873119

Which switched to BSC and I noticed a lot of big projects like RMP are switching to cheaper gas costs.

Ethereum focuses its blockchain on running decentralized programs, including Ether payments or transfers.

as we know that everyone who invests in crypto market, competitors beat maybe gas costs continue to increase/expensive, I don't agree because ethereum is the mother of all altcoins, the biggest platform is very high exchange rate, I believe ethereum developers will provide improvements effective which is sure to leave a positive impact.

Quite possibly, we even see the ethereum network starting to be abandoned because of the expensive cost of gas. And SOL will be a priority where ethereum will be abandoned SOL will be one of the best blockchain network projects.

With the path Solana's been taking recently, I don't think it'll become one of the best blockchain network projects. There's been several network outages/disruptions, putting the reliability of the Solana blockchain in question. You don't see this happening on Ethereum, as security, reliability, and decentralization is put first above all else.

I'd prefer to pay a slightly higher fee and wait a little longer knowing that my transaction will go through, than all the other way around. People prefer convenience on top of decentralization, so they'll go for alternative blockchain networks like Solana, and Binance Chain. Considering that most (if not all) competing chains lack decentralization, it's probable Ethereum will retain its place on the market for a long time. I'm fine with that as long as decentralization wins. Just my thoughts

The advantages of the Ethereum blockchain are enough to remain the first, but high commissions on the network negate this advantage. Until the cost and speed of transactions in the Ethereum network are resolved, there will still be an outflow of users to alternative networks.

[masterrex]

IMO, I may believe that the current Ethereum Network's transaction fees are a burden to micro and small investors, But I never believe that particular reason that Ethereum can be defeated because of huge transaction fees, It will not happen because Ethereum has a solid community in the background and second is the Eth 2.0 has not yet completely implemented who knows that the gas problem will be fixed after the full implementation of the Eth 2.0 update.

[Leonardo7]

ETH miners seems like a cult group who love to see the outricious gas fee the network, despite all the upgrade and forks, gas fees still remain rediculously expensive. The market that ETH would have been controlling alone has already been shared but a total defeat is not clearly visible because of first mover advantage, continuous development of the network and massive offchain support, it will be difficult to display ETH from number 2 position by any competitor.

The first-mover advantage that ethereum has over most projects is something that is going to be difficult to overcome, however the issue with the fees is very important and the developers have yet to provide a solution to this.

This means that if they are unwilling to tackle the problem another project will always have the chance of surpassing ethereum and become the new point of reference when it comes to altcoins, something that all of the people behind ethereum do not want but that could still happen due to their incompetence and their lack of care for what their users really want and need.

Currently the ETH network gas fee difficult for small investor. ETH gas fee very is very high this year.But BNB gass fee too cheap. Most people uses now BNB. I Think ETH they will be solve that problem and more development. I Think BNB is strong compare with Ehereum.I think transaction gas fee solve this problem after update ETH 2.0.

[Cornia]

I don't think competitors will defeat ETH due to ever-increasing gas fees. Because ETH is a very popular network and its gas fee has started to decrease lately. However, the gas fee is still higher than other networks. ETH developers are taking a lot of time but still no result.

Acceptance of ETH by a wide number of organisations and it's popularity alone can make it outstand in the market. Other coins except BNB aren't even close to ETH in terms of development of the project and also support.
Other than BNB I guess there is no second alternative to ETH currently, maybe there would come better projects in the future that can take the place of ETH in the future.

I am not sure that ETH could be defeated at all. Not because I believe one or the other but because gas fee could drop at any moment, it is not a forever thing that the ETH gas fee needs to stay high, maybe in a few months they do something new and the gas fee would become under 1 dollars, is there a guarantee that they won't?

I am not saying that they will do it, I am just saying that the "threat" of it being there is good enough for most people to have that type of situation. This is why I really care about the current situation as it is and will probably stay that way. Sure other projects are not close enough at all, but the fact that even if they get close in development, there is a good chance they may still be lower.

[Kyraishi]

I don't think that in the long run, it will matter much.

Fact of the matter is that ETH2.0 will bring a lot of the innovation that will curb high fees etc.

The prices of coins that are dubbed as "ETH killers" are already way too overhyped in my opinion. So the likely scenario is that they will all experience a correction when the 2.0 protocol gets released.

Theyve been actually saying this stuff on those earlier years on where those so called ETH killers but still even up to now they havent able to overtake the rank of ETH despite of the high gas fees at the moment.

Yes, its really pain in the ass on seeing on how high the gas fees but once that 2.0 would come out  then for sure everyones mind would really changed up and there might be some price surge once again.

ETH is really something that hard to be replaced in top 2 spot but well there would be always those possibilities.

[bhooscream]

IMhO, although some competitors like BNB, Sol, Matic or other platforms that offer lower fees, in fact so far, they cannot still defeat the Ethereum platform or network. Ethereum platform still dominance the crypto network used by most projects. Although I personally also feel so bad with the high fees of Ethereum network.
If this is going on continuously, maybe the position of ethereum network will be decreased and many more new projects will prefer to choose another network due to the fee condition.

Developers are rolling network upgrades, yet gas fees on ETH remain the same. It's very expensive to perform transactions on the Ethereum blockchain compared to other competing chains. The ETH 2.0 upgrade will alleviate the situation but developers keep delaying the same. People are getting sick and tired of ETH's "stalling" as fees continue to rise like there's no tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken, developers will delay the difficulty bomb again (by December) in order to prolong the PoW blockchain. The longer it takes for fees to decline on ETH, the bigger its competitors will grow.

Do you think competitors will defeat ETH due to ever-increasing gas fees? If not, why? Are constant delays a result of miners' opposition against reducing gas fees on the blockchain? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Transaction fees on the ethereum network often drop to acceptable levels. For example, now it is 40 Gwei. But in general, for the final solution to this problem, of course, we still need to wait a while before the completion of the Ethereum 2.0 update. In addition, on November 24, Buterin initiated a separate improvement, which should reduce transaction costs in the network by about five times. I think that in the second half of next year this problem will be finally resolved. Ethereum's competitors are unlikely to make much headway during this time. Ethereum has been and will remain the leader in altcoins.

The current transaction fee load on the Ethereum network is not friendly for small investors but the gas fee has dropped below 30 gwei since a few days ago, I think it means the gas fee is recovering so it will take a long time to overcome the problem of expensive transaction fees but it is not the reason for leaving the ETH network, even BSC as a strong competitor is still under the Ethereum network.

The gas fees have been very high in the ethereum network for a long time despite promises by the developers that they will try to solve this problem.

This is what it is causing many projects to move to other chains as it is going to be simply impossible for small investors to use their coins with such high fees, and while I do not think this is going to be enough for the competitors of ethereum to take its position at the same time it is something that is strengthening their position and it is not something that ethereum can ignore at all.

Yeah the recent situation of ETH and it's gas fees is really extremely annoying i have a few tokens that i would like to stake or to claim but i am only a small fish and those tokens are worth only a few hundred bucks each and to claim, to transfer and to stake them, i would need more than 100$ worth of fee at the moment and that is just a joke. Once they are staked i also need to pay a lot of gas fees each and every time i want to claim rewards so ETH really needs to do something in the near future (hopefully in 2022) in order to get the ETH fees down again into a useful region where everyone can use the ETH network as it is intended to be used.
