This podcast explores the dramatic drop in Ethereum transaction fees, reaching levels not seen in years. This significant decrease is mainly due to reduced network congestion, the successful implementation of upgrades like Dencun and EIP-4844 (Proto-Danksharding), and the increasing adoption of Layer 2 solutions.

For you, as an investor and user, this means:

Cheaper Transactions: Sending ETH, using decentralized applications (dApps), and minting NFTs are now much more affordable.
Increased Accessibility: Lower fees make the Ethereum network more accessible to a wider range of users and can encourage more activity in DeFi and NFT markets.
Potential for New Use Cases: The reduced cost opens up possibilities for new types of transactions and applications that were previously too expensive.
While lower fees are great for users, it also means less ETH is being "burned" through transaction fees, which could impact ETH's supply and price in the long term. Future upgrades, like Pectra, aim to further enhance scalability and manage fees.
