Ethereum transaction fees drop to historic lows! Averaging less than $0.10, L2 scaling enters the "super low fee era"

Ethereum network transaction fees dropped to a historic low in early 2026, averaging about $0.09 to $0.097, with some periods even approaching zero. This is thanks to the Dencun upgrade launched in 2024 and EIP-4844 technology, which significantly reduced Layer-2 network costs. Despite the decrease in fees, network activity reached new highs, with daily transaction volumes surpassing 2.5 million to 2.9 million. At the same time, ETH burn amounts decreased, posing new challenges to the economic model, but the overall impact on the Ethereum ecosystem is seen as positive, ushering in a new era of "low fees and high throughput."
