I've been using Ethereum recently and I've noticed that the transaction fees are really high. I'm wondering why this is the case. Is it because of the network congestion or something else? Can someone explain why fees on ETH are so expensive? Why are fees on ETH so high?

As a result, these transactions can become quite costly during peak times.

Another factor contributing to fluctuating gas costs is Ethereum's fee structure.
