The main obstacle to taking over the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem is often the very high transaction fees that have to be paid to complete a transaction. However, with the average Ethereum gas charge falling to 0.0015 ETH, the situation is set to change.
The average transaction fee on Ethereum blocks fell to 0.0015 ETH or $ 1.57 – a figure previously seen in December 2020. However, since January 2021, Ethereum gas charges have increased due to the failure of non-interchangeable tokens (NFT) ), decentralized finance (DeFi). ) and a promising bull market.
For almost two years, between January 2021 and May 2022, the average price of gas demanded by the Ethereum network was around $ 40, and on May 1, 2022 the highest price was $ 196.638 – as data from BitInfoCharts shows .
In support of this sharp fall in gasoline prices, Cointelegraph discovered on Saturday that NFT’s daily sales had also fallen to their lowest level in a year. The NFT ecosystem recorded its worst performance of the year in June, with total daily sales falling to around 19,000 with an estimated value of $ 13.8 million.
In November 2021, with many investors reporting appalling gas charges, Ethereum co – founder Vitalik Buterin released a proposal to cut costs and limit blockchain to reduce unprecedented pressure levels on the network. Buterin had proposed a short-term solution to further reduce rolling costs by introducing a per-block data limit to reduce ETH gas charges.

The Peckshield Blockchain investigator explained the nature of the attack by saying:
“The hack can be done by allowing a withdrawn NFT to be used as collateral, which the hacker then uses to drain assets out of the pool.”
