Analysts believe that the decline in Ethereum gas fees is the result of multiple factors combined. The primary factor is the Dencun upgrade in April, which significantly optimized the network’s performance.

Additionally, Ethereum’s scaling expansion to Layer-2 solutions, aligning with founder Vitalik Buterin’s vision, has encouraged users to shift to Layer-2, reducing congestion on the mainnet.
