Gas fees becoming more predictable is nice, but the fact they can get so large for small transactions is quite frustrating.
I wanted to swap a bunch of coins worth 8$ into another token and the gas fees were around 28$, which is just insane.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 5y agoYeah, unfortunately the main chain will likely be this bad until all the shards are executing shards. You'll need to go to an L2 until that happens
- Sargos 5y agoNote that execution shards are not really on the roadmap anymore as sharding is planned to be data only and serve as a scaling factor for L2 rollups. In just a few years the only usage of the L1 will be security and data availability for rollups and a settlement layer for international organizations and state level actors with the vast majority of normal activity happening on various L2s.
- arberx 5y agoMost clients haven't updated to the new fee model. Once they do you'll see similar if not less gas fees (strictly due to better prediction).
