Ethereum fees have dropped to the lowest level in almost a year
Ethereum gas fees are denominated in giga wei . Users have to pay them in order to be able to perform any activity on top of the Ethereum blockchain.Earlier this month, Ethereum fees experienced a huge increase due to the implosion of Terra despite the fact that the Ether price saw a huge decline

Apart from eliminating high gas fees, the merge is also expected to drastically reduce Ethereum’s energy consumption.
