2021年繁榮後，以太坊氣體費用下降到異常低的水平

以太坊氣體費用曾經是2021年DEFI和NFT繁榮時用戶臭名昭著的疼痛點，最近下降到異常低的水平。

The price of Ethereum gas, once a subject of heated discussion among crypto users during the 2021 DeFi and NFT booms, has dropped to unusually low levels in recent times.

最近，在2021年DEFI和NFT繁榮期間，以太坊氣體的價格曾經是加密使用者中的激烈討論的主題，最近的水平降至異常低。

As of February 26, 2025, the cost of a simple transfer on Ethereum’s mainnet has fallen to as little as $0.67. This occurs as several Layer 2 solutions are returning lower volumes of transactions to the main chain, despite handling a greater number of transactions overall.

截至2025年2月26日，對以太坊主網上的簡單轉移的成本已下跌至0.67美元。這發生在幾個第2層解決方案中，儘管總體上處理了更多的交易，但仍將交易量較低。

The implication of this is that there is less demand for limited space in a block, which in turn keeps gas fees low.

這意味著塊中對有限空間的需求較小，這又使汽油費低。

The average rate of network fees over the past year has peaked at $35.5M on March 5, 2024, the highest level of the year. However, just by this week, the network fees went down significantly to $12.6M.

過去一年中的平均網絡費用率達到了2024年3月5日，這是一年中最高水平的3550萬美元。但是，就在本週，網絡費顯著下降至1,260萬美元。

This is a result of L2s returning low fees to Ethereum’s mainnet. Several criticisms about L2 returning low fee claimed Optimism paid just $14,000 to L1 in Q3 2024 while collecting $2.9 million in sequencer fees—a ratio showing L2s retain most revenue, remitting only about 0.5% to L1.

這是L2S將低費用返回以太坊的主網的結果。關於L2返回低收入樂觀情緒的幾項批評僅在2024年第三季度向L1支付14,000美元，同時收取290萬美元的順序費用，該比率顯示L2S保留了大多數收入，僅匯出了約0.5％的L1。

Are Layer 2s Still Necessary When Gas Fees Are This Low?

當汽油費這麼低時，仍然需要第2層？

Currently, Ethereum gas fees are super cheap and sometimes under $1 for a transaction. Layer 2s like Arbitrum and Optimism were built to fix high fees and slow speeds by handling transactions off the main Ethereum chain. They worked: fees dropped because L2s took the pressure off. But with mainnet fees already so low, you might wonder—do we still need L2s?

目前，以太坊的汽油費非常便宜，有時用於交易1美元以下。建立了第2層，例如仲裁和樂觀，以通過處理主要以太坊鏈的交易來確定高費用和慢速。他們工作了：費用下降了，因為L2降低了壓力。但是，隨著主網費已經如此低，您可能會想知道 - 我們仍然需要L2嗎？

This advantage is not as significant for basic tasks, as Ethereum can be used directly without incurring significant costs. However, L2s continue to be valuable for heavy users such as DeFi traders or NFT minters, where the need for fast and inexpensive transactions is paramount. So, while L2s aren’t as critical for everyone when fees are low, they’re still handy for keeping Ethereum scalable and speedy for the big players.

對於基本任務而言，這一優勢並不那麼重要，因為可以直接使用以太坊而不會產生大量成本。但是，L2s對於諸如Defi Traders或NFT Minters之類的重型用戶仍然很有價值，在這種情況下，對快速和廉價交易的需求至關重要。因此，儘管當費用低時，L2對每個人都不那麼重要，但對於使以太坊可擴展和快速的大玩家仍然方便。

Lack Of Trends To Drive Activity: Ethereum Vs. Solana

缺乏推動活動的趨勢：以太坊與索拉納

Compare this to Solana, which has seen successive waves of meme coin trends in 2024 and 2025, fueling network activity and revenue (e.g., $123.2M in monthly fees on February 26, 2025).

將此與Solana相比，Solana在2024年和2025年已經連續浪潮了Meme Coin趨勢，這加劇了網絡活動和收入（例如，2025年2月26日的每月費用為1.232億美元）。

This is in contrast to Ethereum, which has seen a decline in activity due to the lack of a "big new trend" or popular application to engage users. While there was a surge in activity during the 2021 DeFi and NFT booms, that enthusiasm has since dampened.

這與以太坊相反，以太坊由於缺乏“大新趨勢”或流行的用戶應用程序，活動下降。雖然在2021年的Defi和NFT繁榮期間活動激增，但這種熱情自此引起了抑制。

On the other hand, Solana has witnessed a hype from $TRUMP, which helps boost the performance of the overall network. On the day it debuted, Solana's price surged by 19.10%, reaching a monthly high of $295.34 on January 19. Over the course of the week, it saw a 33.1% increase, highlighting the strong correlation between meme coin launches and the performance of Solana.

另一方面，索拉納（Solana）目睹了特朗普$ trump的炒作，這有助於提高整個網絡的性能。在首次亮相的那天，索拉納的價格上漲了19.10％，每月達到1月19日的每月高點295.34美元。在一周的過程中，它增加了33.1％ 。

On the contrary, Ethereum doesn’t have a big new trend or popular app to boost activity like Solana. The DeFi craze has died down, NFTs aren’t as hyped anymore, and nothing new has come along to replace them. Thus, without any key players, transactions have slowed, and gas fees have dropped as a result.

相反，以太坊沒有大型新趨勢或流行的應用程序來促進諸如Solana之類的活動。 Defi的熱潮已經消失，NFT不再那麼炒作了，沒有什麼新的來代替它們。因此，沒有任何關鍵參與者，交易減慢了，因此汽油費也下降了。

A Sluggish Market Keeps Ethereum Stagnant

一個緩慢的市場使以太坊停滯不前

The overall crypto market slowdown is also a factor. Ethereum got a boost from ETF approvals and the Dencun upgrade, but by 2025, enthusiasm has faded.

總體加密市場放緩也是一個因素。以太坊得到了ETF批准和Dencun升級的提升，但到2025年，熱情已經消失。

As the market adjusts to a new phase, we can expect to see how this will affect the price trends and trading activity in the upcoming months.

隨著市場適應新階段，我們可以期望看到這將如何影響接下來幾個月的價格趨勢和交易活動。
