 <li>Record-low Ethereum gas fees impact transaction costs and ETH burn rate under EIP-1559.</li> 
 <li>The decline in gas fees has resulted in a lower ETH burn rate, impacting Ethereum’s economics.</li> 
 <li>Despite low transaction costs, Ethereum’s price has experienced a downturn.</li> 
</ul> 
Ethereum has seen a decline in gas fees, reaching record lows not seen since mid-2019. This decline reflects a period of reduced network congestion, impacting transaction costs for users across the Ethereum blockchain. 
Recent data from Dune Analytics <a href="https://dune.com/queries/2981260/4944197" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">reveals</a> that the median gas fees on Ethereum have dropped to approximately 1.9 gwei as of August 10. This is the lowest level recorded in over three years, a stark contrast to the 83.1 gwei peak in March earlier this year. 
Martin Köppelmann, co-founder of <a href="https://www.gnosis.io/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gnosis</a>, recently shared his thoughts via his X account, highlighting the low base fees, which currently sit around 0.8 gwei. Köppelmann suggests that the Ethereum network needs to encourage Layer 1 activity to balance out the staking rewards, even proposing an increase in the gas limit as a strategic measure to boost network activity.
