I'm wondering how long it generally takes for Ethereum (ETH) transfers to complete. I'm asking because I'm planning to make a transfer soon and want to know how long I should expect to wait for the transaction to go through.
Ethereum transactions typically take between 1 and 30 minutes to complete, on average. This range can vary depending on several factors.

Network congestion plays a significant role in determining the time it takes for an Ethereum transaction to be processed. When the network is busy, transactions may take longer to confirm.

Gas fees, which are the costs associated with performing transactions on the Ethereum network, also influence transaction times. Higher gas fees can prioritize transactions, making them faster.

To ensure that your ETH transaction is processed more quickly, avoiding peak times on the network can be beneficial. This can reduce competition for block space and speed up confirmation.

Increasing the gas fee you are willing to pay can also help your transaction stand out and be processed sooner. This is especially useful when the network is congested.
