High gas fees negatively affect many activities on the Ethereum blockchains like ERC20 token trading, micropayments, NFT markets, etc. Here are nine practical ways to reduce gas fees while achieving a faster transaction processing:
- Using the DeFi Saver dApp to simulate your transactions
- Transaction timing optimization
- Organizing and performing transactions in groups
- Leveraging dApps with gas fee subsidies. For example, Balancer provides up to 90% of gas fee refunds through BAL tokens
- Deleting storage variables on the Ethereum blockchain to earn redeemable gas tokens
- Evaluating the Ethereum network congestion to plan accordingly
- Calculating Ethereum gas fees correctly using the Etherscan Gas Tracker or Gas Now
- Leveraging Ethereum layer-two solutions like Rollups to scale up transactions
- Using digital wallets offering optimized or zero fees
