Key Ethereum developers, including co-founder Vitalik Buterin, have been addressing the gas fee issue for some time. Last month, Buterin introduced EIP-7706, a proposal aimed at optimizing transaction call data and reducing gas usage. This proposal includes a new type of gas specifically for call data transactions, with the aim of creating a separate tariff market and making call data more affordable.

Amid Adams’ words, Uniswap has continued to be successful, earning over $3.64 billion in total fees to date. In the last 24 hours alone, Uniswap collected $1.62 million in fees, and over the last month, it amassed $65.95 million.
