I am very disappointed with the performance of GAS fees in ETH. I do a lot of transactions with projects that make me have to use ETH but with a large fee, of course it will be difficult if I'm making small transactions. I mean how can a transaction value of $100 make me have to spend more than $10 in GAS? That looks like blackmail to me.
Why you not avoid eth network? You may come on bsc network for reducing gas fees. There are many project now allowing bsc network and old good project had on now. Eth network fees was lower but when ethereum price was lowing. Even now etherum price rising higher so how could expect low gas fees for eth network?

No It’s not like jokes because ETH Gas fees always higher than others chain and eth one of the best strong chain that's why still now many people’s like eth and always going to transaction as well but i hope need to reduce eth gas fees and sometimes also facilities low gas fees just need to know when current time for low gas fee it’s good idea.

No way at all. Even reducing fee from default setup, could make your fund stucked during this highly busy network. Although eth gas fee has reduced a lot if it is compared with previous years. but it is still suffer to give us the best transaction rate what bsc, matic, trx does. So we have to give such fee if we want to transfer tokens through this erc Network. That's why i already moved with bsc.

BSC and other alternative blockchains are not as decentralized and censorship-resistant as ETH is. You're basically sacrificing decentralization for low fees and faster transaction speeds. Rising gas fees on the ETH Blockchain, tells us that people are using it more frequently. There's no need to worry about this, especially when there are L2 scaling solutions for ETH. Or you can decide to wait until gas fees decline to make your move. ETH developers will soon roll out a series of network upgrades aimed to improve on-chain scalability. Once that happens, high gas fees will only become history. As long as ETH remains decentralized, nothing else matters. Just my thoughts ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Ethereum gas fees are a big problem, but there is a solution to this problem. The solution is to not use Ethereum. :) Unfortunately we are in such a bad situation. Still, when I have to use Ethereum, I try to prefer Layer 2 solutions. When Layer 2 alternatives do not help me solve my problem, I transfer a little over the economically recommended gas gwei and get my job done. You know, failed transfers on the Ethereum network are also charged. That's why I want to secure my work a little bit. Unfortunately, Ethereum gas fees continue to exist in our lives as a joke that does not make us laugh.

So I have to pay $9 ETH to transfer 70 USDT I just received, out of my wallet? And worse, transferring any amount of ETH will set you back $3 in gas fees.
I've just converted most of my ETH to BTC, and have $0.5 left in metamask. It claims to have an "advanced gas control" when you hit Send, but it's not showing me that.
Is there a way for me to lower the gas fees from metamask, or otherwise import the wallet into some other software?
Frankly, I am not a fan of the Ethereum network because of these expensive & joke fees, which represent a loss for every person who makes transactions on this network. The fees of the Ethereum network constitute the liquidity needed to carry out transactions, and they vary from time to time according to the supply and demand available in real-time. Because of the congestion of the network and its adoption by millions of investors, companies, and amateurs of NFTs, the network has become very crowded. Its fees doubled more than many years ago, so if it wants to do transactions with relatively low fees, choose the right time when the network is not busy and not crowded, and you must not adjust gas fees from your wallet because the transaction may fail if the fees are not appropriate and you will lose these fees without completing the transaction, or you can use other networks not based on Ethereum, and the fees are reasonable.

I left the Ethereum game precisely because of that gas fee debacle. I'm not a whale and don't know how I can be wasting close to $20 trying to move just $50. Its just plain stupid

The only option I see is to transfer them in huge amounts just to save some gas wei rather than sending them in small amounts which also cost multiple transactions. I'd never see this situation turn back low but rather expect it to grow more.
In fact, I have had some bad experiences with this before, I taught setting on the lowest fee saves me but it turns out that it fails and I need to adjust my fee causing it to double my fees.

it's silly how swapping simple token in uniswap requires $20 nowadays, I still wonder why such massive activities in ethereum blockchain, even the L2 are now being affected by this increase in fee because the L2 also need to submit their transaction batch in ethereum blockchain which is kinda defeats the point of being l2 if also them requires massive fee.

One of the shittest thing on the time i would really be making up some erc20 transactions specially on small tx is its gas fee which it is really that unjustifiable. I do agree on some points on here on what the heck for ETH to remain on #2 if its gas fees are on the roof top? We do understand that smart contracts is indeed revolutionary but having that huge gas fees? Nah i would really be looking on another place to check on. I do want to touch up Erc-20 field when it comes to buying coins and token into those dexes but whats the main issue that i couldnt easily do it just because of the fees. I cant really just take that much because im not some sort of whale who could afford $10-20-40 in terms of fees in every transaction. This is why it would really be that worth that you should really be making out transactions in bulk so that you would be able to save up some gf.

the problem with smart contract blockchain in general is that they always require so many transaction just for an action like swapping requires involvement of various contract which surely increase the gas fee needed for each action, but I think in this regard that won't be problem if the transaction of smart contract blockchain spread out evenly the thing is, right now ethereum got most of the transaction in its blockchain.

Yes, there are ways to lower the gas fee on metamask. You can try setting a lower gas price to see if it gets confirmed in a reasonable amount of time. Another one is to adjust the gas price manually when sending a transaction. You can try as well to use a tool like gas tracker to check the current gas prices and you can choose a time when the prices are lower. You may also try using different network with lower transaction fees. I hope this simple suggestions might help you to reduce gas fees.

This phenomenon has been running for a long time perhaps due to the current bottleneck on the Ethereum network especially for Ethereum miners to process their transactions and execute smart contracts. What is a layer 2 solution, which can help reduce the burden on the Ethereum network and lower gas costs in the future I haven't tried it yet because I'm mostly looking for more affordable eg Polygon or BSC Networks.

What do you mean miners? its a POS now and not in POW so it must be cheap and scaled now like other L2 but this is not guaranteed as eth still suffers from network congestion especially if you interacting in 2or more contracts at the same time, eth for now still need many improvements to cater more demands.

use layer 2 solution like optimism and arbitrum, of course if your eth already in homestead blockchain you'll definitely have no choice but just straight transferring with the high fee but you can always edit the fee.

Possibly this is the solution but I haven't used metamask for long time and even when I use I generally use the high priority because I don't like to wait too long which makes me frustrated. Anyhow even with ETH2.0 the problem still exists which is kind of worry for the future of ethereum because the alternatives are offering lower transaction time and fee but decentralisation is the only difference if I am not wrong. Well i was answering to OP and OP was using metamask. Also i am not sure what you mean by "ETH2.0 problem" or what alternatives are you talking about. You can always use Layer 2 options like Polygon or Arbitrum as they run of ETH so you don't need to use more centralized blockchains. If you are sending wrapped eth, or any token really.

But you can equally choose the tracking moment when the transaction fee is minimal. Of course, with such a fee value, the desire to use the main ether network disappears. It is easier to overtake tokens over the bridge into Optimism or into the Arbitrium. It is at least less fees. But this is if the volume is normal, I think a trifle is not profitable to send through the bridge.

It is undeniable that the transfer fee for the Ethereum network is very high. It hasn't entered the bullish era yet, but the cost of ethereum gas fees has increased dramatically. Tomorrow you can figure out how much gas the Ethereum network will cost when it enters the bullish era. That must be very annoying because it will definitely go up again at a very high cost.
