Ether explosion and gas fees ...

And here's the **ether** bump this Sunday with a **breakthrough at over $900**.

This new bump of the ether causes a **very strong congestion** of the network, which strongly slows down the transactions because the **average gas costs explode** at more than 120gewi for a slow transaction and a pharaminous maximum of more than **979gewi** for fast transactions made today. https://etherscan.io/gastracker#historicaldata

That's enough to **make a mess of your wallet** if you decide to issue transactions today. **Never forget to check the gas fees** before each transaction, or the bill could be very high.
