🪙 Ethereum transaction fees hit record low as Layer-2 networks siphon activity
The average transaction fee on Ethereum has reached record lows as more activity moves to the Layer-2 (L2) networks on the chain. According to Ultrasound.money data, the average gas has dropped to 4.81 Gwei — the lowest level since the network completed the Merge event in 2022. Market observers attributed this decline to increasing activity on L2 networks following the completion of the Dencun upgrade. The Dencun upgrade significantly reduced fees for L2 networks, making transacting on the base layer less attractive.
