What’s the highest gas fee you have ever paid?

[cheezcarls]

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 think I remember paid around $300 as my highest qhen I am apeing during sometime ago. This has been incurred during uniswap hype, cant really wonder how I got with the fees but aping on the tokens I bought during that time seems to be good as I recover the fees including some gains when i sold the tokens I bought. Actually thats been a hurt but what can i do? Those are the rates of fees needed to be able participate. Its kinda hurting now I shifted to other blockchains.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Yeah same situation. Needed to send something over ETH fast, and it was over $300. Mind you this was a year ago when all those ponzies were rampant and gas was over 1000 gwei

Yeah cant help myself but to do the apeing cause the potential gains is also crazy good. However when I realized those fees, its really kinda sucks to remember paying up that much for such token gains to be generated. Uniswap and eth really take a good earning there by fees.

[Little Mouse]

If I can remember correctly, it was around $30, the max gas fee I paid ever. For your info, I don’t use Ethereum chain these days at all. I did the tx years back, when fees were just started sky rocketing. These days, fees are ridiculously high. I would avoid ETH chain by any means lol.

I thought my $50 worth was the highest for selling my altcoin in the market, I have no choice back then, the token is losing the value I have to do something or my two months work will go to nothing I trade my token for $100 I should have done it earlier when it was worth $300 but I keep waiting for the price to drop but it never happen, this is the reason why I stopped participating on bounties that are on Ethereum chain.

[Jating]

Around $100 dollars for me, but I didn't do the transaction because I'm thinking that the gas fee is too steep. But the price of the coins keeps going up and when the time that it went all time high, it's already x5 of that price. So it become $500 gas fee for me so I don't have a choice but to go with it because I wanted to see my token at the highest price possible.

[KaliLinux]

I needed to pay that because I believe that what will come after that transaction will be worth it in the future  $41.89 is the most I have had to pay for the transaction fee since all this Eth gas problem started. I have had to let go of some transactions to date because of the Eth gas fee and some up to $100-$200. I hope with many Bridging options in place we might be able to move forward with those transactions.

Currently, I rarely use the ETH network, I only use the ETH network when I have an airdrop rewards, and my biggest claim fee is only $50, no more than that.

As for me I have paid more than 50 dollars worth of eth. It was the time I got my first payment in Axie and at that time, binance does not accept direct from ronin. I have to withdraw it to ethereum network and send it to binance, and lastly withdraw it from binance direct my account locally. It was one hell of a transaction, and worst is that I have failed the first attempt costing me another 25 dollars because it did get through using metamask, maybe that time also the ethereum network was congested and the gas fees are high.

[maartenhaha]

I spent $89 trading on uniswap because I had no choice but to sell the tokens before the price dropped. I have analyzed that the potential of the coin is low so it is worth selling for a small profit. Option token holders on average sell them on exchanges to avoid high uniswap fees even though the rates are rather low.

We all except the whales who are still actively using ethereum blockchain to trade on uniswap. they can pay up to $50 for a single swap anytime. that's crazy about how they didn't even care about the non sense fees on ethereum garbage chain.

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?

I can ever remember that and that happened once in my life. The gas fees of ethereum was so crazy during that time and i urgently need to swap my tokens on ethereum blockchain before it will be going down in the price.

I have ever spent $300 USD for doing a single swap for a few thousands dollars and you can imagine how much i could used it to pay so many pizzas. I guess even contract call will force you to pay a lot of money. That's horrible.

[wajik-tempe]

The first time i came back to crypto since 2018 last time i touch it and come back at the early 2021, i just know there is swap system like in uniswap or pancakeswap.
I decided to buy a coin in uniswap which is ETH network, i don't have any idea how much the fee of the swap, i bought the coins worth like 200 USD and just confirm it without doubt, i just realized the fee is more than 100 USD after the trade succeed and it's really hurt me 

[oemar bakrie]

that's the reason why now many are turning to BSC which can provide cheaper gas costs and around july last year,i was a bit surprised at the cost i had to incur when sending my tokens to one of the markets, and there i had a few petrol around 0.02 eth,,for 3 transactions it's not enough, and that's where I understand a little why there are so many bounty projects. Moving to BSC instead of ERC20 turns out to be very high costs, because for over a year I haven't done any transaction activities...

[bhadz]

I've made a few transactions on this bull run. The highest that I've paid is also the same as you OP, close to $100. I'm in need of that money and the fee, I've got no choice since the amount that I'll be getting is more than the fee. I can't wait any longer by that time so I have to pay that much.
The next high fee that I've paid was $20.

[ScamViruS]

As far as I can remember, I paid $50 gas fee for a transaction. Since the gas fees of ethereum network were huge at that time for various reasons and the market situation was also full of hype. As a result, I paid the fee for the transection of a token at that time.
Currently I do not use ethereum network due to huge gas fees. If I find a new opportunity then maybe I will use ethereum network again with huge gas fee.

[Sterbens]

Back in the Gas period 10-12 gwei, ah that's gone and we won't be back. Actually, playing with Ethereum network tokens or coins is something I often avoid, unless it is profitable with the profits that can be obtained. If the estimated value is less than the cost of Gas then leave the token or coin until it no longer has value. It's hard to say how much I spent at a time when the Ethereum Gas craze. I'm definitely around $250, nothing more and nothing less. And what most people do is steal when the gas is down.

My worst time with transaction fee is with Bitcoin in 2017 when its network was attacked by pershaps Roger Ver and Bcash team. I did not know how to use non custodial wallet in that time too. On centralized exchanges, they charge very expensive fee. I know when the network congested and transactions can be stucked for 10 to 14 days, expensive fee is unavoidable but if I use non custodial exchange with customize options for fee rate, I can get better fee and can bump fee for mine as well.

With Ethereum network, my bad time is in 2021 when DeFi trend makes its gas price went up too high. Fortunately than now, with price of Etherum is much higher, with same gas price, people will have to pay overkilling fee on ERC20 chain. I stopped using this chain for my transaction since 2021

Recent weeks, fees are very painful on ERC20 chain as I read from news. I don't mind to check it by myself or use this chain again. $200 to $300 in transaction fee is very expensive and unacceptable.

[Oneandpure]

When gas fees up above 100 gwei never use erc20 coin again and move to BSC coin, I am an bounty hunter many time reward payment change using USDT BSC from rule should paying using erc20 coin, depend have higher gas fees we are receiving usdt bsc coin and some time got payment with coin have upgrade from erc20 become bsc. Last my transaction when claiming GDO airdrop coin and I spent almost 50$ from claiming coin pay 35$ and 15$ for sending GDO coin to MEXC market, maybe swap on Uniswap will get above $100 for approving and swap coin.

[nimogsm]

the maximum was around $60 per transaction, but it was worth it at that time.Today, I practically do not use Ethereum and try to minimize work with it.Commissions are unreasonably expensive.It is very good that today there are alternatives and there is plenty to choose from.

[Luqman]

I think I remember paid around $300 as my highest qhen I am apeing during sometime ago.

Wow, it is a huge number, bro. If you transfer some tokens valued thousands of dollars and can take profits above $1000 by transferring it, $300 for transfer fees is no problem. This is likely to do by people who arbitrage, but it needs a fast transaction between one exchange to another exchange. But for people who has a small number of tokens valued less than $500, it is better to wait for the gas price to decrease. Sending the tokens with the gas fees of about $300 will hurt so much, especially when the token price is decreasing when the transaction is successful.

can you remember what is the highest gas fee you’ve ever paid?

To be honest, the highest gas fees I ever paid was only around $40. I did it because it was quite urgent.
