I was about to do a transaction and the gas fee was very high! Any advice on how to get the lowest gas fees? I have looked at the heatmap, and I can see that at certain times and days, it's a bit lower. Any advice for a newbie?
Thanks!!
It's been quite a bit of time since you asked this question, and besides the answers you already got, i will still want to add that if you are either a newbie in this space and or without alot of money, the ethereum blockchain is not the best chain to carry out transactions on, its one of the most expensive chains to be honest.
I personally was a great lover of ethereum, in fact, I avoided crypto assets built on other blockchains because to me, I usually never used to see them as authenthic, but as transacting on ethereum became more and more expensive, I had no choice but to stop buying and or selling assets on the chain specially on decentralized exchanges, I shifted my focus to other chains with better fee structure.
Even after ethereum was upgraded from pow to pos, majority of us thought the fees will come down, but unfortunately, it has remains significantly high.
So to be a successful ethereum user, you just have to be a crypto whale, else; use other chains with lower fees.
