Gas fees on the Blockchain remind you of a saying,

“Strike while the irons hot!”

With the exception to Ethereum, the rest of the Blockchains are pennies on the dollar to a few dollars transact. As the erratic fluctuations of gas fees due to congestion combined with the usage of GWEI/ETH from minor to large operational transactions trading on DEXs like Uniswap and Platforms hosting the buying selling and trading of NFTs. A conclusion of high traffic times on the Ethereum Blockchain and “GWEI” or Gas prices are something to take notice. How can you avoid paying gas fees, you may think?

A few was to spend less on gas on Ethereum:

1) Monitor Ethereum at a non-peak traffic time, such as during the weekends as an example. If there are fewer users, there is less demand for computational resources (less work for the computer). That’s a reason for gas fees will to be reduced as well.

2) If your transaction is not urgent, be patient. Set your configuration for (TIP)gas fees to the lowest setting in your wallet.

3) Layer 2 transactions happen off the blockchain platform, thus not using up too much computational power or gas fees. The transactions are later verified on Ethereum. Use layer 2 scaling solutions, such as Arbitrum and other solutions.

Also, using DApps like Balancer AMM DeFi Protocol that can offer a discount, or a type of subsidy. Every day there are emerging options available! It’s a great Idea to absorb all you can to help you in your journey!
