What else is known? At the moment, the Ethereum network is operating normally, no technical problems are observed. The average fee is $0.87. What caused the user to pay such a high commission remains unknown. Perhaps he deliberately or mistakenly set this size manually.
In October 2022, an anonymous person paid a $157,000 transfer fee on the Ethereum network. And the commission for issuing the first NFT after the blockchain switched to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm was 36 ETH (about $57,852 at the time of the transaction).
What’s going on with Ethereum? Ethereum developers have confirmed plans to roll out the Shanghai upgrade to the testnet in February and the mainnet in March. The hard fork will allow users to withdraw ETH from staking. Currently, about 16.49 million coins are blocked in special wallets (13.69% of the total supply).
On February 3, 16:15 Moscow time, the ETH rate was $1651, having lost 1.3% per day, according to Binance.
