As we all know, with the explosive growth of DeFi, limited by TPS, the transaction processing mechanism of the highest price makes the Ethereum network expensive and congested during the DeFi boom.

Gas fees have been increasing steadily since November last year, and reached a historical peak on February 23 this year. The average transaction cost reached a staggering 373 Gwei, which is about $82.8 based on the current Ethereum price. As of now, the average price of Gas in April is about 135.7 Gwei, which is lower than that of February and March, but still higher than that of January.

Looking at the daily transaction volume data of decentralized exchanges (DEX), we can find possible reasons for the drop in gas fees in the past few days.

Debank data shows that DEX trading volumes have shown a downward trend since reaching a peak of $4.35 billion on February 23.

At the same time, multiple expansion plans of Ethereum have been launched one after another.

On March 24, Hermez Network, the Ethereum ZK Rollup expansion solution, was officially launched. This means that Hermez's main network has been launched, and users can now transfer money at a lower Gas cost. According to Jordi Baylina, technical director of Hermez, users can save about 90% of Gas costs.

On March 23, RollupsWallet, a zkSync-based second-tier wallet, announced that its mobile app has been launched on the iOS app store, with over 1,000 downloads in the first week. The RollupsWallet team stated that the wallet is powered by zkSync (MatterLabs), its Gas price can be reduced by two orders of magnitude, and it can also realize the instant transfer of Ethereum ERC-20 tokens.

In the NFT market, the NFT trading platform OpenSea will integrate the Layer 2 expansion solution Immutable X. OpenSea product director said: "Integrating Immutable X will allow OpenSea to provide users with a gas-free transaction experience without sacrificing the security of the Ethereum network. Future game developers and OpenSea players will benefit from this.

It is also worth looking forward to that the EIP-3298 proposal initiated by Vitalik, the founder of Ethereum, which removes the rule of "executing SELFDESTRUCT to obtain gas fee reduction rewards" in the London upgrade, will also be implemented in July or August.
