Ethereum's average transfer fee has fallen sharply from $0.72 in April to about $0.095, a drop of over 85%. This reduction is driven by technical upgrades like Fusaka, which increased network capacity and gas limits, and the growing use of Layer 2 solutions such as Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism that handle transactions off the mainnet. While cheaper fees benefit users by lowering transaction costs, they also reduce revenue for the Ethereum protocol. Despite this, Ethereum's price has rebounded recently, showing positive momentum alongside the lower fees.
