Concerns Over Low Fees: Analysts warn that excessively low fees could threaten the Ethereum ecosystem by reducing revenue for validators and miners, potentially leading to security issues.
Impact of Layer-2 Networks: The Ethereum Dencun upgrade in March 2024 significantly lowered fees, resulting in a 99% revenue decline for the base layer, as layer-2 networks compete for transactions.
