What makes this case<\/a><\/strong> even more unusual is that the transaction itself transferred zero ETH<\/a><\/strong> to the receiving address, while the entire amount was spent on gas fees.<\/p>\n

Typically, high gas fees occur during periods of heavy network congestion or market volatility, but Ethereum\u2019s fees have remained relatively low in 2024, largely due to activity shifting to layer-2 networks after the March Dencun upgrade.<\/p>\n

This upgrade significantly reduced gas costs and made fees more predictable, thanks to Ethereum\u2019s revamped fee structure introduced by EIP-1559 in 2021.<\/p>\n
