User Incurs Exorbitant Gas Fees Due to Mistaken Operation for ETH Transfer
Publication Time:2024-08-12 11:52:08
An anonymous user shared on social media an incident where they ended up spending a substantial sum of gas fees for a minor ETH transfer. According to data from Etherscan, the user paid 34.26 ETH in gas fees when transferring 0.87 ETH, which, at the current market price, amounts to over $89,200. Considering the actual value of the transfer was only $2,262, the user incurred a cost that was far beyond what was expected. Currently, Ethereum network gas fees are at an annual low, with typical transfer costs usually around $5. This means the user paid over 1,783,900% more than what would be considered normal. This event once again serves as a reminder to users to exercise greater caution when engaging in cryptocurrency transactions to avoid unnecessary financial losses.
