But as an option, you can temporarily switch to the Binance Smart Chain so that the work does not freeze. Or look for alternatives in other networks. I would like to believe that all our expectations will be fully justified and the work with Ethereum will improve. Although the number of people willing to work on this platform only increases doubts about resolving the situation.
As it's said in the real world, "patience is a virtue". The dev team is taking a long time to push network upgrades into the Ethereum blockchain. This makes many people desperate as high fees and slow transaction processing times greatly defeat the purpose of "De-Fi". Binance Smart Chain's sudden rise, tells us that people are tired of paying high gas fees on ETH. The competing smart contract platform is faster and cheaper to use than Ethereum, making it extremely ideal for "De-Fi". Of course, this comes at a cost of reduced security and increased centralization. But people don't care about this as long as they're able to make money in the long run.
Nonetheless, we should hold on tight as the best is yet to come. The EIP-1559 is an upgrade meant to temporarily reduce high gas fees on the Ethereum blockchain. Once ETH 2.0 + Sharding becomes a reality, high fees and slow transaction processing times will become a thing of the past. Remember, good things comes to those who wait. Just my thoughts
