Ethereum fees see a massive drop on Layer-2 chains, should you buy ETH now?

Ethereum ETH/USD is the second-largest cryptocurrency token in terms of market capitalization, and its blockchain network has been used as a means of developing a lot of DeFi projects, dApps, and minting NFTs.

However, the Ethereum blockchain also had a reputation for its extremely high gas fees, which users had to pay out throughout each transaction. This has, however, changed as of recently.

The gas price reduction as a catalyst for growth

On February 25, we covered how the deployment of zkSync will impact the value of ETH.

Ethereum fees on Layer 2 chains have experienced a massive drop after the general reduction of transaction fees within the Ethereum network as a whole.

In other words, Ethereum users can make large transactions of ETH, as low as $0.1 per transaction fee.

More specifically, zkSync allows ETH transactions for less than $0.1, while the swaps cost about $0.16 each, and the average cost of moving ETH on other layer chains is around $0.5.

On March 5 through Twitter, Evan Van Ness, who is a Web3 investor, shared this information with the Ethereum community and mentioned how things would only get better going forward.

This has the potential to increase the interest within the Ethereum blockchain, which will lead to an increase in the value of the ETH cryptocurrency token.
