Why didn’t Ethereum gas fees go down after the “Merge”?
The “Merge” wasn’t intended to lower gas fees. Whether transaction fees are high or low still depends mainly on demand on the network.
A key point: When using staking tokens in DeFi, be aware that they may sometimes trade at a discount to ETH.
After the “Merge,” newly issued $ETH is no longer given to miners, but is instead rewarded to validators.
Size your positions according to your risk tolerance, and leave yourself some room to maneuver.
