#Ethereum transaction fees (in $USD) dropped almost 80% from their all-time high today. This brings them back to levels last seen in mid-July. This is a nice opportunity for significantly cheaper on-chain operations today. https://t.co/JQ8nCzHCyi pic.twitter.com/GMeFfXqdSv

What this means

Ethereum transaction fees are calculated in Gas and used in paying for ETH operations on its blockchain network. These don’t just include normal transactions, but also interactions with the decentralized application and smart contracts. Fees going down means that using Ethereum projects is becoming less expensive.

ETH miners have been cashing in averagely because ETH fees on its blockchain network have risen partly due to the rising interest on DeFi assets, which now have about $5 billion worth of digital assets in terms of value, up from less than $1 million earlier this year.
