When conducting transactions on the Ethereum network, gas fees are a factor that cannot be ignored. When users transfer on the ERC20 chain, they usually need to pay gas fees ranging from dozens of yuan, and this cost fluctuates with market conditions. This means that even if the counterparty does not charge any exchange rate spread, a transaction worth 1000 yuan may only yield over 900 yuan worth of ETH.

It is worth noting that the gas fee does not increase linearly with the transaction amount. For example, whether transferring 1000 yuan or 1 million yuan of ETH, the required gas fee remains basically unchanged, still around dozens of yuan. This leads to an interesting phenomenon: for large transactions, the proportion of the gas fee relative to the total transaction amount significantly decreases.

From this perspective, making large ETH transactions seems more economical. However, investors also need to consider other factors when making decisions, such as market volatility risks, liquidity needs, etc. In addition, although the relative cost of large transactions is lower, the absolute amount cannot be ignored.

For ordinary users, understanding this feature helps in better planning of trading strategies. For example, one could consider consolidating multiple small transactions into a single large transaction to reduce overall gas fee expenditure. However, this strategy also requires weighing other factors such as security and timeliness.

In general, the gas fee mechanism of the Ethereum network has significantly different impacts on large and small transactions, and users should fully consider this when conducting transactions to optimize their transaction costs.
