Topic: What’s the highest gas fee you have ever paid? (Read 624 times)

This happened few years back when the gas fee for eth is quite high.

At that time I need to transfer my token to an exchange to trade it because the price is decent enough to make profit.

I paid $60 gas fee for that transaction and its really a pain.

When the new DEFI exploded and all the hype was over, I completely accepted the $200 fee for uniswap transactions. Honestly, it didn't matter what I sought and accepted, it had to yield a fair profit. Who would be stupid enough to pay that amount for transactions? It's still a big problem for many people.

Extraordinary ETH gas, I have also received a gift from a large and clear platform, to get it, I have to make a claim with ETH around $75, just sent it to my wallet, after the exchange process for the coin/gift the value is series from capital that I put out in the beginning and this is the highest gas fee of several transactions I have ever done

Selling tokens with the current ethereum network really is a longer thought.
sometimes we have to calculate how much we earn minus the transaction gas fees we spend, it's really annoying.
however, I think gas being so expensive is actually a boon for ethereum network project builders because the scammers using this network are gone.
so that projects that are held on the ethereum network on average are indeed very profitable, even though it is very tormenting for the community with small transactions. I myself have long left the ethereum network, currently using BSC more.

Depending on the complexity of the smart contract being used, the gas fee can be a lot higher than previously expected. DEXs like Uniswap and EtherDelta consume more gas than ordinary ERC-20 transactions because they perform a higher number of operations on the blockchain. Imagine how high fees will be with a heavily-congested Blockchain. That's why most people are beginning to use L2 scaling solutions on Ethereum to save money on fees. Others simply use alternative chains like BSC or Polygon (MATIC) for peace of mind. ETH developers still haven't launched the final phase of the PoS upgrade, so competitors will continue to grow at a fast pace.

Until the next iteration of ETH comes out, don't expect gas fees to decline on the main chain anytime soon. At least, people aren't stuck on a single blockchain. Things would've been worse if ETH was the sole smart contract platform on the market. Who knows how ETH will look like in the future? Just my opinion

Gas is a big issue when it comes to deploying contract on Ethereum network. Basically, the higher the gwei the higher the price you pay in fees on the ethereum network. I think I have spent $1k to $2k in ether deploying contract on ethereum network. I have spent $500 in fee on a single trade as well!

Well, same with me almost $100 in ETH for transferring my token to an exchange tho but fortunately due to my token keep increasing I don't mind those high fees because the profits I got was bigger than the fee itself and average in that time I paid the fee around that price for many tokens. But now I see the price for ERC-20 transfer already lower rather than what I used in the last year.

Oh no this is very sad to be put together on amount spent on a regular basis. I recently reduce myself from enrolling any ERC20 transactions due to the sick and sucking condition of gas fee instead I rather buy, trade on a CEX than using DEX to initiate swap. In most cases I spent 50 to 100 dollars and is very annoying.

$28 for sending $10 on eth 

The issue with ethereum gas fee is getting frustrating by the day. We expected that the issue should have been resolved before now, but it's over two years now and we're still faced with this problem. I'm always very conscious about the gas fee used for my transactions and in most cases when I have the opportunity, I switch to binance smart chain or tron blockchain time carry out my transactions.

Gone are the good-old days where you could pay a ridiculous amount of gas to get your transaction processed by the ETH blockchain. Back then, transactions used to confirm within 14 seconds. Now it takes around a minute or two (maybe even more depending on the gas fee used) for your transaction to reach 1 confirmation. These are the consequences of being too popular as a cryptocurrency project for day-to-day transactions.

ETH devs should've introduced a short-term remedy for the high gas fees, but for some reason, they haven't done that yet. They're only focused on PoS, thinking everything will be "magically" fixed after the upgrade. L2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism are around, but not many people use them. Without awareness for these L2 networks, how would ETH scale to millions of people around the world? I just hope gas fees don't stay high forever. Otherwise, ETH will remain a platform used solely by whales and big exchanges alike.

I haven't been using ETH for a while except to redeem some airdropped tokens whenever it's economically-feasible to do so. I'm pretty sure the average person is doing the same as gas fees are too high to bear. At least, we aren't stuck on a single chain. Things would've been worse if ETH was the only smart contract platform in existence. Just my opinion

I don't use ETH anymore for making any regular transaction. I just hold them for profits. Almost unusable due to the gas fee. I remember trying to buy a token and the fee was around 200$+. I would have been paying more in fee that the amount of tokens i was buying. The highest I paid was around $25 I think. Not once, but twice and both the transaction failed. I forgot you still lose your fees when the transaction fails..

One thing with me is I always refuse to do any transactions when the gas fees are above $50, like the highest gas fee I paid for a transaction on uniswap was about $48 if I could still remember, but then, it doesn't end there, I have some NFTs I staked on dego.finance dapp way back from 2020 which currently requires over $410 in gas fees to claim, some time last year, it used to be over $1500 but am guessing Ethereum gas price have come down a bit and hence, the reduction in the gas fees, I honestly will leave the NFTs there for as long as it takes for the gas fees to come down to a few dollars if not cents

Last time I've opened a sell offer on OpenSea to sell my NFT, as far I can remember it will ask me around 280$ Network fees,  
The interesting thing is the regular price of that NFT was 300$  

That means to sell 300 dollars worth of NFT I have to pay $280 fees. I got that NFT on my Ethereum wallet as a gift that's why I sold it for 20$.
To avoid excessive fees nowadays I try to avoid ERC-20 based tokens and transactions if I have doubt about the worth of that tokens.

Looking at the volumes of ETH every single day, it is quite obvious that we are seeing a good amount of people using it. I do not know if they are all whales but looking at the transactions it feels like they are not all whales.

It is just that some people need to use it, like for example Philippines have been involved with Axie from the start and made some money from it, that's correct, right? They made as much as 20 dollars a day at one point if I am not wrong, that is insane amount of money for someone in a third world country like me. To play that, they had to use ETH somehow, sure not all the time but at least time to time they had to withdraw it.

This is why I do not believe that it was all whales, there have been some other people who have done it before and I am sure that it will happen in the future, whales and non-whales are alike use it.

 
My highest is also around $80 dollars, maybe I had +$90 once, but I am not sure... it was crazy in one moment, I was cashing out some tokens, moving Ethereum or USDT, all that was and is still very expensive! I see Ethereum fees wins by large, and it's why I decided to move to some other chains!
I think most of us had some nice profit, so we had for paying the fees, but that wasn't normal, and since that moment I started avoiding Ethereum, Ethereum tokens, and anything connected with them! I made a few transactions because I had to, but I will never invest in that again!

When the gas fees were low then everyone was using ETH blockchain but after high gas fees users avoid the ETH blockchain so in some cases need to use ETH blockchain I have used for claim from contract address that was $86 gas fees on ETH blockchain but now I don't use since a long time due to high gas fees on ETH network.

Exactly. Ethereum can only be used by whales right now due to the exorbitant gas fees on the network. Until the PoS upgrade comes up, we won't be able to experience any relief in our pockets anytime soon. While other chains have lower fees and faster transaction confirmation times, none of them are as secure and reliable as Ethereum. I guess that's why most people are still using ETH even with the high gas fees. Developers need to think between sacrificing decentralization to help bring convenience to the masses or all the other way around.

I'd choose decentralization anytime, simply because it ensures security/reliability in the long term. Without a reliable blockchain network, how would anyone conduct transactions confidently? There are rumors that ETH will upgrade to PoS this year, so we may not need to wait any longer for fees to decline for good. Just my opinion

Can't deny that ETH network has the highest fee on crypto right now, it's peak price could 10x times the price of it's lowest price. If i have to make transaction with this network, the only way to make it most efficient is using the gas fee alert tools to notify me whenever the price touch the lowest price  or the price we determined

Currently ERC20 token exchange or swapping costs a lot more gas fee.  You don't have to pay that much before.  However, for the last 2 years this extra gas fee has to be paid.  And so far I have paid the highest $ 69 Gas fee.  And that is the token of ERC20 Network.  I swapped 400 token for 69 fee.  And so don't swaap if you don't get the ERC20 token with more value.

I once sent tokens from a personal wallet to an exchange with a Gas Fee of almost $100 , whereas at that time the value of the tokens I sent was only around $450. 
But because at this time I needed it, I just did it even though I actually objected. But my friend said the cost was still cheap because they had paid for gas which was higher than that. 
I don't know with this Ethereum, will it continue with high Gas costs?  What I hope is that there will be a solution soon.

If I remember correctly, I think it was around $30-40$ and after that I didn't ever tried to transact again especially if there was a very high fees.
Many here experienced paying high gas fees in Ethereum since it really has a high gas fees until now but for me it wasn't Ethereum but Bitcoin. I still remember the time where transaction fees in Bitcoin are very high (even higher than Ethereum) I think it is around 2017-2018 or even in 2019.

I didn't tried to make a transaction in Ethereum and I will never knowing that there is a chance that the fees are higher than the amount of money that I want to transfer. I'd rather pick other coins or make some solutions just to not pay ridiculous fees on Ethereum.

well, maybe around $56 to $100, that's more or less, or even more. I don't remember much. at that time I made a transaction from MEW to Uniswap, and the fee until I received the proceeds from the sale of the coins I owned was very large. well, after all, ethereum transactions have been huge for a long time. because of that, I very rarely make transactions through that network. I even avoided it.

I have paid $50 several times and same as you, once I have paid about $70. Ethereum has definitely become a coin for medium to large fish. Let's hope that the launch of Ethereum 2.0 will bring changes and we will start paying a low fee again for Ethereum and ERC20 tokens transactions.

Well rather you didn't pay that much, in an operation months ago I paid almost 200usd in fee, it seemed too expensive, and it was going to be much more expensive, what happens is that I had a fraction of BTC in the erc-20 network and from there I passed it to BTC Wraped, something like that and I managed to lower the costs, but in reality it would have cost me almost 250usd if I had not done it that way, I think it is a big problem, scalability and ETH2.0 should solve this problem Already, and there are many projects that are being developed under this network, I prefer the BSC network that is not so expensive, at least now so many beta tests that are done in different markets is to try to supplement this problem.

ETH's a real sucker in gas fees. It's probably the most expensive blockchain in the world right now. Believe me, I've paid over $172 just to swap one token to another on Uniswap. For normal transfers, the highest fee I've paid was $47. That was when ETH was heavily congested during the "De-Fi"/NFTs hype. After I've discovered that ETH's fees were lower during weekends (especially early in the morning), I've started saving money big time. L2 scaling solutions like Optimism, and Arbitrum also helped me pay as low gas fees as possible. With so many alternative chains on the market right now, high gas fees are the least reason to worry about. You can simply switch to another chain if you don't like paying much on the ETH blockchain. Hopefully, everything will change after the PoS upgrade. As long as ETH remains decentralized, nothing else matters.

Ethereum gas is fantastically expensive, we can't deny that, I once paid $70 for a single transaction and I've given up since then, that's why I mostly use BSC for my trading transactions. Ethereum is become network for big transactions, not small ones like mine.

Around $80 for me to get a token onto an exchange and later $75 to withdraw again from the exchange, but just because I made a silly mistake. I avoid ETH for as far as I can, but some tokens still stuck there. Those I basically wrote off as it is not worth it to move. I have also bitten the bullet a few times around $30-$60 for once off cross-chain swaps and then it is smooth sailing after that. At least those are once-offs.

I have paid around 246$ as my highest fees for Erc20 chain on Uniswap. But i have swap one my token which  gave me 4x profit. here 246$ is was not matter for me. Because I was there at a profit of about 8,000 dollars. But it is usually very difficult to use an ethereum chain for a small dollar.

In 2021 I remember the highest gas that I was paid was $78 on Uniswap and that's the last time that I was use the Ethereum Network because I temporarily stopped using it but lately the fees were dramatically reduced that's why now I was able to use it again and pay gas worth $20-25 dollars but still it was high compared to the most leading Blockchains in the industry which is not good for long term.

The biggest gas fee I paid was $50. This was when I transferred the stablecoin USDT from Polygon to the Ethereum network on Metamask. It was a long time ago and out of ignorance of some options. This will not happen again and everything will be done at a lower cost.

42$, that was the last time I used the ethereum network. that transaction was the last transaction I made to sell the ERC20 tokens I held. after that i never invest again in projects that use erc20 network. I prefer to use other networks such as BSC, Solana or Tron. this is better than dealing with unreasonable gas fees.

My biggest fee was only $60 to claim the airdrop token, but sadly after I claimed the airdrop, the token price was dumped and what I got was much lower than the gas cost I spent.

Well, in my experienced I think the highest fee in which I had made a transaction with erc20 was around 83$ I think.
After that moment, I shifted in the other altcoins were there is a low fee and avoided ETH(ERC20) it was really too expensive
even up to the present time now they never change at all.

Good choice. Say if the fee is 50 dollars in etherium and the tokens you want to sell are worth 70 dollars only, I do not think I can accept this deal even though I will be left with 20 dollars because I spend lots of time working hard just to earn those tokens in a bounty and not to mention the time that it takes to hold just to grow that value.

If you do not mind can you share the method your talking about? I still have some erc20 tokens in my wallet and i would love to convert them into cash but fees in etherium networks have not returned to normal yet. What is worst is that I can only trade them at uniswap, we know the fees on this exchange are also crazy.

Nothing because its not fair amount to be honest and no matter what, i will not paying massive fees just to convert my token. infact there are some other way how to cash out our erc20 token without paying massive fees and that's through bsc network which has a very low fees nowadays.. actually I've done it once using metamask wallet and swap site , although you need to configure another network in order to convert erc20 token to bsc within meta wallet but it's all worth it because the fees is too cheap.

You are right, that is why sometimes coins which have $10-$30 in value, when in past is really worth to sell, now people don't have any choice beside to hold it, and hold not because price of the coin dumped but not worth the profit because need higher amount of money to pay fees, or maybe from that $10-$30 value of the coins, only give under $10 profit.

Not much than $50 maybe, because when i use ETH as transaction, maybe ETH price not high like nowadays. But now, if joined project that use ETH, i will just hold the coin if fees is really high. So my answer for today and in future maybe not much than $50 i can afford to pay fees. Can be higher if the coin value is much more than the fee and it is worth to spend money for fees.

I spend about 100$ a week on ether. Because I buy different types of tokens. I paid the most at one time 145$ gas fee. Then there was a token which would have been a huge loss if not for sale. So I sold it with a 145$ gas fee.

If $300 means you are profitable at the expense of costs around $100 and you still have a very large profit. At times like this, such calculations must be carefully considered so as not to be wrong in taking advantage. Because you are already profitable above $ 100 you should not miss, it can give you the option to spend. Lol 

That's exactly the same as mine. Even I had some Aave tokens in one of old ETH wallet which I noticed last year.
I tried to claim it but there was a certain procedure where I had to swap the LEND tokens to Aave.
The total price of tokens was around $400 out of which a gas fees of $100 was used in the swapping.
But still I was able to accumulate $300 for free 

I have paid 185$ almost in the opensea when i connect first time my wallet with it. Eth gas fee is huge amd i don't think, with such a high fee people will use it more especially when there is best competitor already attracting projects and people . i like Nervous network and matic network. Both gas fee is very low .

gas costs are so high, it has become a hot topic until now in various forums, the ethereum network is currently so avoided by people, even I have seen projects in the bounty have to replace the ethereum network to the BSC network, because the number of followers of the project is quite large, thus forcing development to replace network, in the long term this is not corrected, it is likely that ethereum will be replaced by another network.

My highest was $70 worth of ETH  for claiming my bounty that I work for and I didn't even know much because I was still a newbie in those gas and other terminology. Moreover I was first time using myetherwallet's mobile app and I was somehow uncomfortable and I failed to notice the fee in terms of USD value that I am including. I guess why people are still struggling with etehreum even after paying more than one week's earning from what I may earn from the signature campaign in BTC. Yeah, it is completely senseless to lose one week's hard work just for the reason of TX fees.

If you have an airdrop token better claim only and waiting listed on global exchange  market like MEXC always support with airdrop coin listing. Last month I claimed GDO coin pay fees almost $50 but not selling with uniswap because will take 50$ fees again and I am waiting when GDO listed on MEXC, just paying for fees sending only and not needed for fees approving and swap coin on uniswap where will be loss for me than reward coin get from GDO airdrop. I hope have new airdrop like GDO for twitter account and they have many follower.

$101 for one "transaction". It wasn't exactly just one deal though, it was much more than, I got some coin on my account, and it worth around $150 total, and I never approved or anything. So, I went to uniswap, entered it, approved it, swapped it, and that is how I got to pay that much. Obviously, if it was just sending ETH from metamask to binance or something it would be much much lower, but I also had to approve that token as well which made the difference.

It has always been like that, I do not know why but it always asked that much money on low cap tokens approvals. Some of them are preapproved or something? I do not know if that is true but that cost me a lot. I will never do that again, I did that once because I was still in profit.

If it is urgent, you won't think about waiting till the gas fees are cheap enough. I have experienced it, I was waiting for a week to send my tokens with cheap gas fees. Unfortunately, when the gas fees are cheap enough, the token price was decreasing so much already. I regretted it, I think why not spend a higher gas fee if it is worth it. Since experienced it, I never wait for days to send my token, especially when it is pumping.

When it is cheap enough, you probably realize that it is already a bearish season. 
We don't know when the gas fee can be cheap, so I never expect it as you.

Ethereum belongs only to whales, high gas fees are meaningless to them. Similarly they move Bitcoin from one exchange to another with high gas fees. For those of us who only have a small income, then leave Ethereum for a while until gas costs return to normal. I believe there is a big plan behind Ethereum's high transaction fees. It's possible that they want other blockchains to continue to be active, such as BSC, Polygon, and others. If Ethereum fees are low, it's possible that the BSC blockchain won't be used.

In this case i said that basically i have not paid in this time but the high price of Ges fee is Ethereum so you use etherium to withdraw your money and change your coins to other this procedure if you done in Ethereum so definitely you use a big fee.

I have ever paid a few hundreds dollar for a single transaction in ethereum network and that's horrible. I retire from using ethereum blockchain for the daily trade. This blockchain is so crazy as fuck. I will never try to do another trade again in this the most expensive blockchain in the world. Paying hundreds of bucks for the miners. The miners become rich by forcing ethereum users to pay this non sense fees. Me and my friends have been moving to the L2 and another L1 solution for ethereum. These blockchain a few hundreds times cheaper than ethereum. It's very bad to see that implementing scalability solution needs a few years.

My last highest gas cost was 30$, at the end of last year, I rarely made transactions when the gas fee was high so many of the bounty tokens turned into ashes and are not worth now, when their gas value reaches 100$ and the value of the bounty results does not cover the fee

This is the sad thing with ETH, the fees goes crazy and really out of no control until now they have no solution for this one.
I remember paying around $150 for the fees alone and actually the transaction is not that fast for this kind of fees such a big disappointment with ETH because of these big fees. Well, I still believe on ETH its just that most of the time I'm avoiding ERC20 network because of the fees, we're so lucky that we have so many options now.

I once had some LP tokens for a trading pair that i created on Uniswap locked on a farm. Somehow the developers of that farm made a mistake or something and everyone had to unstake from the old farm and then restake them at the new farm. During that time the eth fees were extremely high and i spent like 80$ per transaction there and i needed like 2 or 3 of them. So i spent like 240$ on fees in a few minutes, which is a crazy number to me as i am only a small investor. Nowadays i still have some erc 20 tokens but i wait until the fees go below 50 gwei or something before i bridge them over to BSC or Polygon even though i am not a big fan of binance.

It happened to me. After paying some around $30-$45 for the eth gas fee, I leave it and not touch a project based on ethereum or claiming the airdrops because it was not worth paying a high fee while the token price is not too high if I sell at the market, even if I just hold for a long term. But I still buy tokens at the exchange because I do not have to pay any fee instead just pay the trading fee, which is not too high for me.

Using BNB to claim airdrops is not a big deal for me as the bnb gas fee is not too high. But still, I am worried if the gas fee can become bigger as eth in the future. So I decide not too often to claim the airdrop as I prefer to trade bnb pair usd/btc/token at the exchange.

Fortunately I have avoided all those highest network congestion times so that I guess I might have saved my network fees considerably. I am also holding few of my bounty rewards for years and he total reward may not be worth for the ETH required to spend for gas hence I just decided not to claim them but waiting for a low gas situations to convert my bounty rewards into BTC or ETH.

This is what most crypto adopters will do or must be already doing. As these days we have lots of alternates to have same types of dapps, why we need to struggle with ethereum itself.

I think it's very big for transaction fees alone and things like this are indeed an obstacle,
Until now there has been no solution that is really concrete and I hope this can be resolved soon

this is the biggest problem right now, people complain about the high cost of ethereum gas, but on the one hand we see the growth of ethereum getting better and bigger, even for me personally there are quite a lot of transactions with the ethereum smart chain, but not counting in detail how much a lot has been done, it's strange to see people's response to this smart chain, but their development is getting better than before.

I have not bought any NFTs but hopefully I will be doing that very soon, my biggest fees has been from transacting on the Ethereum network. It was me participating in ICO that I had to pay hundreds of dollars fee for buying into a coin I was not putting too much money into. I ended up paying about $110 plus for a $50 investment. At the end it was worth it because the project gave a good amount of profit and when you minus the fees I spent it was about $500 gain.

I think with Ethereum the fees does not matter much if the profit will be certain, I can understand why people pay thousands of fees for flipping NFTs, they know the chances of making those fees back are high due to the hype on NFT at the moment.

Ethereum gas is a total disaster, you are right... I remember some transactions where I spent around 300 USD to pay the fees. My heart was bleeding when I did that and I still woke up at night and cry silently into my pillow...

Highest is $50 for a $340 axie back in September. Back then I didn't mind the fee given that the NFT game is still on its heyday. But honestly if there were some alternatives, I would have picked those in heartbeat even if it's much more complicated to accomplish. ETH network's gas fees is a growing pain in the ass for us dealing with ERC-20 tokens. Imagine paying fees greater than your intended purchase. Chances are you're going to be bummed about it and just not push through with the sale. I do hope that they find a solution that works, as ETH is basically everything for ERC20 tokens.

Before I would not even think of spending more than $20 for a fee even on Bitcoin I use a small fee and use the free accelerators or wait for it even if it takes a day, but just three months I spend $30 Ethereum for claiming my token it's urgent because the token is losing value because it's a pump and dump token it will go to zero value if I delayed claiming and trading it, I'm still waiting for the day where Ethereum fee will go back to its cheap fees.

Wow, it is a huge number, bro. If you transfer some tokens valued thousands of dollars and can take profits above $1000 by transferring it, $300 for transfer fees is no problem. This is likely to do by people who arbitrage, but it needs a fast transaction between one exchange to another exchange. But for people who has a small number of tokens valued less than $500, it is better to wait for the gas price to decrease. Sending the tokens with the gas fees of about $300 will hurt so much, especially when the token price is decreasing when the transaction is successful.

To be honest, the highest gas fees I ever paid was only around $40. I did it because it was quite urgent.

the maximum was around $60 per transaction, but it was worth it at that time.Today, I practically do not use Ethereum and try to minimize work with it.Commissions are unreasonably expensive.It is very good that today there are alternatives and there is plenty to choose from.

When gas fees up above 100 gwei never use erc20 coin again and move to BSC coin, I am an bounty hunter many time reward payment change using USDT BSC from rule should paying using erc20 coin, depend have higher gas fees we are receiving usdt bsc coin and some time got payment with coin have upgrade from erc20 become bsc. Last my transaction when claiming GDO airdrop coin and I spent almost 50$ from claiming coin pay 35$ and 15$ for sending GDO coin to MEXC market, maybe swap on Uniswap will get above $100 for approving and swap coin.

My worst time with transaction fee is with Bitcoin in 2017 when its network was attacked by pershaps Roger Ver and Bcash team. I did not know how to use non custodial wallet in that time too. On centralized exchanges, they charge very expensive fee. I know when the network congested and transactions can be stucked for 10 to 14 days, expensive fee is unavoidable but if I use non custodial exchange with customize options for fee rate, I can get better fee and can bump fee for mine as well.

With Ethereum network, my bad time is in 2021 when DeFi trend makes its gas price went up too high. Fortunately than now, with price of Etherum is much higher, with same gas price, people will have to pay overkilling fee on ERC20 chain. I stopped using this chain for my transaction since 2021

Recent weeks, fees are very painful on ERC20 chain as I read from news. I don't mind to check it by myself or use this chain again. $200 to $300 in transaction fee is very expensive and unacceptable.

Back in the Gas period 10-12 gwei, ah that's gone and we won't be back. Actually, playing with Ethereum network tokens or coins is something I often avoid, unless it is profitable with the profits that can be obtained. If the estimated value is less than the cost of Gas then leave the token or coin until it no longer has value. It's hard to say how much I spent at a time when the Ethereum Gas craze. I'm definitely around $250, nothing more and nothing less. And what most people do is steal when the gas is down.

As far as I can remember, I paid $50 gas fee for a transaction. Since the gas fees of ethereum network were huge at that time for various reasons and the market situation was also full of hype. As a result, I paid the fee for the transection of a token at that time.
Currently I do not use ethereum network due to huge gas fees. If I find a new opportunity then maybe I will use ethereum network again with huge gas fee.

I've made a few transactions on this bull run. The highest that I've paid is also the same as you OP, close to $100. I'm in need of that money and the fee, I've got no choice since the amount that I'll be getting is more than the fee. I can't wait any longer by that time so I have to pay that much.
The next high fee that I've paid was $20.

that's the reason why now many are turning to BSC which can provide cheaper gas costs and around july last year,i was a bit surprised at the cost i had to incur when sending my tokens to one of the markets, and there i had a few petrol around 0.02 eth,,for 3 transactions it's not enough, and that's where I understand a little why there are so many bounty projects. Moving to BSC instead of ERC20 turns out to be very high costs, because for over a year I haven't done any transaction activities...

The first time i came back to crypto since 2018 last time i touch it and come back at the early 2021, i just know there is swap system like in uniswap or pancakeswap.
I decided to buy a coin in uniswap which is ETH network, i don't have any idea how much the fee of the swap, i bought the coins worth like 200 USD and just confirm it without doubt, i just realized the fee is more than 100 USD after the trade succeed and it's really hurt me 

We all except the whales who are still actively using ethereum blockchain to trade on uniswap. they can pay up to $50 for a single swap anytime. that's crazy about how they didn't even care about the non sense fees on ethereum garbage chain.

I can ever remember that and that happened once in my life. The gas fees of ethereum was so crazy during that time and i urgently need to swap my tokens on ethereum blockchain before it will be going down in the price.


I have ever spent $300 USD for doing a single swap for a few thousands dollars and you can imagine how much i could used it to pay so many pizzas. I guess even contract call will force you to pay a lot of money. That's horrible.

I spent $89 trading on uniswap because I had no choice but to sell the tokens before the price dropped. I have analyzed that the potential of the coin is low so it is worth selling for a small profit. Option token holders on average sell them on exchanges to avoid high uniswap fees even though the rates are rather low.

As for me I have paid more than 50 dollars worth of eth. It was the time I got my first payment in Axie and at that time, binance does not accept direct from ronin. I have to withdraw it to ethereum network and send it to binance, and lastly withdraw it from binance direct my account locally. It was one hell of a transaction, and worst is that I have failed the first attempt costing me another 25 dollars because it did get through using metamask, maybe that time also the ethereum network was congested and the gas fees are high.

Currently, I rarely use the ETH network, I only use the ETH network when I have an airdrop rewards, and my biggest claim fee is only $50, no more than that.

I needed to pay that because I believe that what will come after that transaction will be worth it in the future  $41.89 is the most I have had to pay for the transaction fee since all this Eth gas problem started. I have had to let go of some transactions to date because of the Eth gas fee and some up to $100-$200. I hope with many Bridging options in place we might be able to move forward with those transactions.

Around $100 dollars for me, but I didn't do the transaction because I'm thinking that the gas fee is too steep. But the price of the coins keeps going up and when the time that it went all time high, it's already x5 of that price. So it become $500 gas fee for me so I don't have a choice but to go with it because I wanted to see my token at the highest price possible.

I thought my $50 worth was the highest for selling my altcoin in the market, I have no choice back then, the token is losing the value I have to do something or my two months work will go to nothing I trade my token for $100 I should have done it earlier when it was worth $300 but I keep waiting for the price to drop but it never happen, this is the reason why I stopped participating on bounties that are on Ethereum chain.

If I can remember correctly, it was around $30, the max gas fee I paid ever. For your info, I don’t use Ethereum chain these days at all. I did the tx years back, when fees were just started sky rocketing. These days, fees are ridiculously high. I would avoid ETH chain by any means lol.

Yeah cant help myself but to do the apeing cause the potential gains is also crazy good. However when I realized those fees, its really kinda sucks to remember paying up that much for such token gains to be generated. Uniswap and eth really take a good earning there by fees.

I think I remember paid around $300 as my highest qhen I am apeing during sometime ago. This has been incurred during uniswap hype, cant really wonder how I got with the fees but aping on the tokens I bought during that time seems to be good as I recover the fees including some gains when i sold the tokens I bought. Actually thats been a hurt but what can i do? Those are the rates of fees needed to be able participate. Its kinda hurting now I shifted to other blockchains.

We all know how most of us are sick and tired of Ethereum’s exorbitant and uncontrollable gas fees these days? But I wanna hear some experience from you guys. Whenever you trade, transfer an ERC20 token, swapping it on Uniswap or minting and buying an NFT on the OpenSea, etc., can you remember what is the highest gas fee you’ve ever paid?

Let’s begin with me. Mine was like almost $100 in ETH for just claiming my tokens from the bounty that took me a year of waiting. Would love for you to share your experiences as well! Thanks!
