READ: Investors are now rushing into Ethereum, as gains surge by 262% in 4 months

Recalled that earlier on Wednesday, Nairametrics revealed how ETH miners on the Ethereum network earned a staggering $500,000 in just one hour as Ether (ETH) surged. This immediate differential in fees affirms the level of activity in the Ethereum network coupled with the rise of DeFi cryptos lately.

The Ethereum network in recent times has had constant issues with high transaction fees and congestion since the rise of DeFi tokens. Recently, the network increased the limit of maximum gas per block from 10,000,000 gases to 12,500,000 gases.

However, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently advised crypto traders and investors on utilizing the layer-two technology in solving high transaction fees. He tweeted:

“To those replying with ‘gas fees are too high’, my answer to that is ‘well then more people should be accepting payments directly through zksync/loopring/OMG’. Seriously, scaling to 2500+ TPS for simple-payments applications is here, we just need to… use it”
