Ethereum Gas Consumption Shifts Away from NFT Marketplaces

The Ethereum gas consumption landscape is undergoing significant changes as Non-Fungible Token (NFT) marketplaces are no longer dominating the network’s gas usage. According to a report by Nansen, a crypto analytics platform, NFTs have fallen behind in doing the most in Ethereum gas fees.

While Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake, known as “The Merge,” is anticipated to address high gas prices, investors are now exploring alternatives like Cardano which boasts greater cost-efficiency following its recent Hydra upgrade.

Ethereum’s Gas Consumption Shift

Data revealed by Nansen on Friday shows that there has been a noteworthy shift in Ethereum’s gas consumption patterns. Previously dominant NFT marketplaces now account for only 3% of total gas usage while decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap has emerged as the primary consumer with 31.99% of all transactions taking place through it.

Gone were the days of NFTs topping the Ethereum gas-consuming charts. This week, of the top 20 consumers using up Etheruem’s resources OpenSea and Blur accounted for less than 10%. And against all other users consuming Etheruem’s resources combined – including DeFi protocols and meme coin tradingSponsored Product platforms -the NFT marketplaces represented just over 3%. In contrast, Uniswap was responsible for ten times more at almost one-third or around 32%.

This substantial decline in NFT-related gas consumption can be attributed to various factors such as an influx of meme coin tradingSponsored Product causing congestion on the network resulting in heightened gas prices prompting users to explore alternatives and alleviating pressure on already burdened NFT markets. 

Navigating The Gas Crisis

Ethereum’s gas crisis has persisted despite The Merge, which is said to enhance scalability and reduce gas fees by migrating the network to a proof-of-stake consensus model. In response, some investors have sought solace in blockchain platforms offering cost-efficient alternatives.

With its recent Hydra upgrade, Cardano has gained attention for its ability to handle transactions more economically. The implementation of Hydra’s layer-2 scaling solution has positioned Cardano as a viable option for users seeking relief from Ethereum’s high gas prices. 

The Future of Ethereum

The decrease in NFT marketplaces’ gas consumption marks an important turning point in Ethereum’s ongoing struggle with high transaction costs. As decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and other transaction-heavy platforms take the lead in gas consumption, pressure on NFT markets will continue to ease.

However, the broader Ethereum community anticipates that updates on the mainnet will address persistent issues related to high transaction costs and improve scalability across all applications built atop this platform.

Investors are closely watching developments around The Merge while also keeping tabs on alternative blockchains like Cardano that offer greater efficiency at lower costs than what they can find on Ethereum. Meanwhile, the price of Ether has experienced an upward trend in the past week, up by 2.4%. ETH surged from a low of $1,771 seen last Friday to tradingSponsored Product as high as above $1,800 later this week. 

Ethereum’s market capitalization also recorded huge gains in the past seven days with its value surging over 2% from a cap low of $215 billion to a high of $218 billion on Friday.

ETH’s daily trading volume has plunged throughout the week from a high of $10 billion last Friday to just under half that amount at around $5.5 billion in the last 24 hours. Interestingly, the asset has picked up momentum again rallying 1.1% in the last day and currently trades slightly above $1,800 with a price of $1810 at time of writing.

Conclusion

The shift away from NFT-related gas consumption is indicative not only for Ethereum but for blockchain technology more broadly speaking: it shows how quickly things can change when new use cases emerge or existing ones evolve beyond their original scope.  

This development should be viewed positively since it indicates that there are still opportunities for innovation within decentralized networks like Ethereum even if some applications become less popular than others over time due to changing user preferences or technological advancements elsewhere.
