Ethereum Gas Fees Plummet to New Low Amid Network Transition

Ethereum's on-chain gas fees have dropped to a new low of 0.692 Gwei, marking a significant reduction in transaction costs on the network. This development comes as a relief to users and developers who have been grappling with high gas fees for some time.

The reduction in gas fees is a result of the Ethereum network's ongoing transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, known as Ethereum 2.0. This upgrade aims to improve the network's scalability, security, and sustainability. As more validators join the PoS network, the demand for gas on the mainnet decreases, leading to lower fees.

In addition to the network upgrade, the recent decline in Ethereum's price may also contribute to the decrease in gas fees. As the price of Ethereum drops, the cost of transacting on the network becomes more affordable for users. This could potentially lead to an increase in network activity, further driving down gas fees.

The LayerZero Foundation has deposited 1 million ZRO tokens, worth approximately $3.06 million, to Coinbase. This move suggests that the foundation is bullish on the future of the ZRO token and the LayerZero protocol. The whale who bought SHADOW tokens at an average price of $9.75 around 20 days ago has now earned $1.72 million, indicating that the market is still volatile and presents opportunities for profit.

Several crypto influencers and key opinion leaders (KOLs) have sold off their received KAITO token airdrops, suggesting that they may be taking profits or diversifying their portfolios. Wintermute, a prominent market maker, has withdrawn 3,085,000 KAITO tokens from Binance and OKX in the last 12 hours, equivalent to approximately $5,060,000. This move could indicate that Wintermute is adjusting its positions in the KAITO market or preparing for future opportunities.
