I'm trying to understand why the transfer fee on Ethereum is so expensive. It seems unreasonably high compared to other cryptocurrencies. Is there a specific reason for this?

Another crucial factor is the operation complexity of the transaction. More complex operations require more computational resources, leading to higher fees.

Despite having a vast user base, Ethereum faces limitations in its processing capacity. This limitation arises from the blockchain's design and the current technological constraints.

As a result of these limitations, Ethereum often experiences high transaction fees, especially during peak times. This can be frustrating for users who rely on the network for their daily transactions.

One major determinant is the congestion on the blockchain. When there are numerous transactions waiting to be processed, fees tend to rise as miners prioritize transactions with higher rewards.
