隨著市場活動的停滯，以太坊網絡費降至5年低點

以太坊網絡上的交易成本已在五年來下降到最低水平，因為區塊鏈上的活動量不斷

Transaction costs on the Ethereum network have dropped to the lowest level in five years as the amount of activity on the blockchain is in a lull, according to the onchain analytics platform Santiment.

根據OnChain Analytics平台的說法，由於區塊鏈的活動量平靜，以太坊網絡上的交易成本已降至五年來的最低水平。

Ethereum network fees are now around $0.168 per transaction and the reduction in fees coincides with fewer people sending Ether (ETH) and interacting with smart contracts, Santiment marketing director Brian Quinlivan said in an April 17 blog post.

Santiment Marketing總監Brian Quinlivan在4月17日的博客帖子中說，現在每筆交易的以太坊網絡費用約為0.168美元，而降低費用恰好與派遣以太（ETH）的人更少並與智能合約互動。

“When many people are using Ethereum, users bid higher fees to get their transactions confirmed faster This drives the average costs up,” Quinlivan said.

昆利文說：“當許多人使用以太坊時，用戶競標更高的費用以獲得交易的速度更快地驅動了平均成本。”

“When fewer people are transacting, like we see now, users don’t need to bid much. As a result, the average fee drops. It’s essentially a supply and demand system.”

“當人類的交易較少時，就像我們現在看到的那樣，用戶不需要競標太多。因此，平均費用下降了。這本質上是供求系統。”

Quinlivan said that, from a trading perspective, low fees can preclude a price rebound, Still, he added that traders appear to be patiently waiting for the global economic uncertainty to pass before scaling up their usual frequency of Ether and altcoin transactions.

昆利文說，從交易的角度來看，低費用可以排除價格反彈，但他補充說，交易者似乎正在耐心等待全球經濟不確定性通過，然後再擴大其通常的以太幣和替代幣交易的頻率。

Traditional and crypto markets tanked after US President Trump’s sweeping tariffs were announced on April 2. Many assets haven’t recovered to the same level as before their unveiling, despite tariff exemptions and a 90-day pause for most countries.

在4月2日宣布了美國總統特朗普的大量關稅之後，傳統和加密貨幣市場都陷入了困境。儘管有稅收免稅和90天的停頓，但許多資產尚未恢復到其揭幕前的同一水平。

ETH has fallen over 12.5% in the past 14 days and has traded flat over the past 24 hours, hovering just under $1,600, according to CoinGecko.

根據Coingecko的數據，ETH在過去的14天中下跌超過12.5％，在過去的24小時內交易，徘徊在1,600美元以下。

“We can visibly see the increased sensitivity toward Ethereum discussions and tariff/economy news as prices have really threatened long-time support levels,” Quinlivan said.

昆利文說：“由於價格確實威脅到長期支持水平，我們可以明顯地看到對以太坊討論的敏感性和關稅/經濟新聞的敏感性提高。”

“The more the retail community leans away from an asset, especially one with still thriving development, the higher the likelihood of an eventual surprise rebound with little resistance.”

“零售社區越偏離資產，尤其是那些仍在發展的資產，零售社區的發展越高，最終產生驚喜反彈的可能性就越大。”

Pectra upgrade on the way

pectra在路上升級

After delays due to configuration issues and an unknown attacker causing headaches during the Holesky and Sepolia testnet activations, the Pectra upgrade for the Ethereum network is now scheduled to go live on the mainnet on May 7.

由於配置問題和未知攻擊者引起的延遲，在Holesky和Sepolia testnet激活期間引起了頭痛，現在計劃於5月7日在Mainnet上直播Ethereum Network的Pectra升級。

Phase one is expected to double the layer-2 blob capacity from three to six, reduce transaction fees and network congestion and allow fees to be paid in stablecoins like USDC (USDC) and DAI (DAI).

預計第一階段將使第二層斑點容量從三倍到六倍增加一倍，減少交易費用和網絡擁塞，並允許在諸如USDC（USDC）和DAI（DAI）等穩定幣中支付費用。

The maximum staking limit will also be increased from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH.

最大放電限制也將從32 ETH增加到2,048 ETH。

The second phase of Pectra is expected in late 2025 or early 2026 and will introduce a new data structure to enhance data storage efficiency and a system that improves scalability by enabling nodes to verify transaction data without storing the entire data set.

Pectra的第二階段預計將在2025年末或2026年初，將引入新的數據結構，以提高數據存儲效率和一個系統，該系統通過使節點能夠驗證交易數據而不存儲整個數據集來提高可擴展性。

The Pectra fork follows the network’s Dencun upgrade in March 2024, which slashed transaction fees for layer-2 networks and improved the economics of Ethereum rollups.

Pectra叉在2024年3月遵循該網絡的Dencun升級，該升級削減了第2層網絡的交易費用，並改善了以太坊匯總的經濟性。
