    Ether fees are at it again


     

    Transaction costs have ballooned once more for the most actively used blockchain. 


     

    Fees on the Ethereum network have reached
    an average of $10.20 per transaction as of Sunday, according to data
    from YCharts. The network's fees went higher on only two occasions in
    2020, briefly averaging $12.54 in early September. They again rose to
    $11.69 near the middle of the same month.

    Ethereum network transactors faced high fees on and off last year as a partial result of the decentralized finance, or DeFi, boom, which utilized the blockchain for various lending and yield farming activities. At times, the high fees made it difficult for contributors to participate in DeFi activities.

    “#Ethereum gas fees soaring again, basically making #defi unusable,” Crypto YouTuber Lark Davis tweeted on Monday.

    The network's traffic tolerance has been an issue for years. Transactors suffered major delays and fees
    near the height of the last major crypto bull run when a cat-centric
    blockchain game called CryptoKitties took off in popularity.

    Ethereum recently commenced its long-awaited network upgrade journey, called Ethereum 2.0, moving the network over to a proof-of-stake mining algorithm. The upgrade is expected to bring massive scaling to Ethereum, although the process will likely take years to fully play out.

    Over the past 24 hours, Ether (ETHsurged up to $1,161 from a level near $830.
